Red Thread Challenge

Guest challenger Chris Letournea, CZT at Tangled Up in Art provided this week's challenge. To raise awareness of The Red Thread Promise, an organization dedicated to changing lives- whether it's helping orphans, disabled kids or people without basic medical care, we were to create a traditional black and white tile using one red "thread" running through it. 

String Theory 7: Tri-Shapes

CZT Sue Clark sat in for the diva this week, issuing this challenge: create a tangle using a circle, square and triangle for a string. Also, use three tangles that you've never used before. I had so much fun with this one! I've never used any of the tangles in this piece. I used rose, fern, click clack and krli-q's.

Zentangle is for Everyone - challenge #32

Carole Ohl , this week's guest challenger for the diva, provided us with a challenge and an opportunity! The challenge: use any string you want with these four tangles -  Pais (by Mikee Huber), Zedbra (by Laura Harms and Margaret Bremner), Keenees (by Donna Hornsby) and Baton (by Carole Ohl). The opportunity: if you create your zentangle on a 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 card in black ink only, you can mail it to Carole to be included in her show as Artist of the Month at Amicis, a new restaurant in her area.

Fairyland - Challenge #31

Carol Bailey Floyd, guest blogger for Laura Harms, challenged us to create a Zentangle environment where fairies would feel at home. Here are my tries...

String Theory V - Initials

Christina, aka stART, filled in for the diva this week and gave us String Theory V: Initialize. Draw your first and last initials, either in cursive or block letters, and overlap them and use that as your string. I did both, but for some reason, the photos are not showing up on my phone. All I have access to is this thumbnail of the cursive one. 

String Theory IV - Creative Genesis

Sue Jacobs sat in for the diva, Laura Harms, this week and her challenge is to take a piece of string, ribbon, yarn, etc., attach it to a weight and drop it on your paper to make your string. You can drop it as many times as you want to get a string you like. Since drawing the string is difficult for me and mine tend to look similar, I really liked this challenge. I'll be using this technique!
