THE TASTE OF 'TIPPLE'


Weekly Challenge #224
"Monotangle: 'Tipple' "

   It was so nice to see that this week's challenge was to use the tangle, 'Tipple'. This tangle just fits anywhere and everywhere. 
   Sunday, I received a recipe from my sister for Chia pudding. It is very much like Tapioca pudding. It is quite yummy! Anyways, when I made it, I looked at it and thought, this looks just like 'Tipple'. Then today I was driving my kiddos to the library and it started sprinkling on my windshield. (Not to get excited about that sprinkle here in CA,....... that's all it was. Just a two minute sprinkle!) Well, as those few sprinkles hit my windshield, they kind of separated into little balls of water. I just had to share this excitement with my kids and say, "Look, there's 'Tipple', again!" So twice I had inspiration coming at me for this week's challenge.
  


   I added some fruit to give it that touch of color. Prismacolor pencils were used for the fruit.


   I can't wait to share with you, all of my endeavors while at my CZT seminar. IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING ADVENTURE!!! 
   Have an amazing week ya' all!!! 
Thank you, to all of you, for the lovely comments that you share with me!
  Oh, I just wanted to share with you this delicious recipe for Chia Pudding. It also includes the nutritional benefits. Enjoy the taste of 'Tipple'. :0)

COLOR, COLOR, COLOR



Weekly Challenge #222
'Colors, White, Black, Red, and Renaissance'

   Just a little short and sweet this week, as I am trying to mentally prepare and physically get my
self ready for my trip to Providence, Rhode Island!!! CZT #20, here I come!!!
   I love the color white! It is always a battle. Is white a color? I like to say, Yes! Especially when you start out with a Renaissance colored tile, of course, white is a color. It shows up! I used Zentangle colors for this one!! Gotta love those colors!

I just had to use a real Zentangle tile for this challenge! My rainbow colors were last week, here
Have an awesome week and I'll see ya' next week! Hopefully with a few more letters added to my name! :0)

BEADS OF COURAGE


Ok, bare with me, this is the first time I'm trying to load a post by using my phone. 😁yeeks!!!
   Anyway here are my beads of courage. Last year I dedicated them to my niece Katie who was diagnosed with an uncurable brain cancer. (Beads of Courage from last year here) Even though she is not a little kid, she is now 23, The amount of courage to have to live with a diagnosis like that takes courage in itself!!! I would still like to dedicate these beads to Katie, but I also would like to dedicate them to Artoo and ALL people going through life's challenges. STAY STRONG and HAVE COURAGE!!!



Have a beautiful day and enjoy your weekend!

ALL BOXED UP



Weekly Challenge #220



This picture is a reflection in the granite at the bar, just underneath the floating billows above. (Doesn't it look like jelly fish?)


   My husband and I had a quick little getaway to Vegas. Wow!!! Talk about tangle inspiration!! My eyes were going crazy, and I think I was driving my husband crazy too!! I wanted to take pics every turn we made. Whether it was on the floor, the walls, or the ceiling, inspiration was EVERYWHERE!!!! (The top pic, above, was from an amazing Italian restaurant we ate at, and the one below, was hanging above a bar that we sat at.) Just beautiful!!! Anyways, I do have some inspirations that I want to break down and try to create new tangles.
   So while my husband was at the Recycling Expo, I had time to have a little RandR! While doing so I enjoyed playing with the tangle 'All Boxed Up' by Alice Hendon, CZT, of Creators Leaf. What a fun tangle it is!!! Thank you Alice for sharing it with us, and thank you Laura for introducing it!!! 
   I wished I had taken a picture of my string, before tangling. I just went with it,....and enjoyed the process!!!! I felt the need to add some organic flow to it too though!! 
I also felt the need to add color.!

Here with a little more color and flipped!
   I may just want to play a little more with 'All Boxed Up'! What fun it is!!

   Again, thank you for the friendly comments! All are read with a smile on my face! :0)
(I almost didn't get to this post. I usually can post on Instagram much quicker than a post.) You can follow @5acarlo. I will see you there!
