Diva challenge #191 and a new tangle pattern

Well, Ive been busy again trying this and that...
One night I wanted to have a play with paints, so I drew a picture same method as doing a zentangle, just as came. I nearly tangled all of it but didn't!
I used Koh-I-nor palette of bright paints

this one was for a Facebook challenge to use Bee-line,  I used the tangle as a string as well

Im amazed how this looks on a screen, almost luminous, but its only a watercolour background and white gel pen.


And finally my Diva contribution! I started with a sepia pen, thinking it was black..duh!  anyway, I kept going and here it is.

Our challenge was to use Betweed

Diva Challenge #190 "Pink for Ardath"

Laura's grandmother Ardath passed away last winter from breast cancer, and most of us will know someone who has suffered in similar fashion. The challenge is to use pink in some way in honour of Ardath and others. I attempted to use tangles which were soft and gentle, then the idea of heart tangles came up, followed by the obvious question mark.
Tangles: Chillon, Leaflet, Heart divided, Heartstrings, Hearty, Pozer, Wud.

I have another pink tangle which I did this past week, again using last weeks challenge tangle pattern Yuma.

Tangles: Yuma, Printemps, Jetties, Antidots, Knase, Verdigough


This week I finished the rest of my Facebook ATC's for the swap! Our task was to use two colours and two patterns for all the cards. But they'll be posted very gradually with the price of postage as it is for international! Oops, I thought I had cropped it!!


To finish off with I'd like to share some of our delightful Spring flowers! They are so glorious after a colourless winter!






                                                             Have a good week!

Diva Challenge #189

A new tangle pattern is our challenge this week. "Yuma", by Tina-akua Hunziker came up on the random selector machine for Use My Tangle challenge. I found it enjoyable to use, guess as I like lots of lines!


Here are some of my latest "completions" from Ben Kwoks templates
Media: Watercolour pencils

Media: Prismacolour pencils and fineliners for tangle patterns

Watercolour paints, coloured pencil, markers and fineliners




We are having a fun swap on Facebook at the moment.  Chosing two colours and two tangle patterns, using the same for each ATC.  I have done all mine on a colour wash background, choosing pink and blue as the colours, and Florz and Leaflet as the patterns. I have found in doing so many that my creativity developed, and I was inventing things I hadn't thought of before.
