HAPPY AMANDA (EARTH) DAY

I Am the Diva, CZT

Weekly Challenge #214

"Amanda/Earth Day (Round 4)"

   Laura, (The Diva), has a son that has, kind of, renamed the Earth! He refers to it as Amanda!!! Which I think is pretty appropriate, because after all, it is Mother Earth. So a female name fits just perfectly!! :0) Any way, I think it is pretty adorable! ( It is kinda funny how children start a whole new language sometimes, without even trying. You gotta love it!)

   When I was taking my class for accupressure and learned about the balance of 'Chi' in our own beings, I realized that it is the same with our planet. Finding balance is the best way to peace and harmony! But to acquire that balance, isn't always easy. And there you have it, ...........that's called Life!!! Our 'Amanda' is a living thing, so we must help keep balance in it!!! We must do our part to keep our Earth at peace and in harmony!! 

   I incorporated the five elements in accupressure that bring balance to our bodies and what also help keep balance to our Earth; Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood and their colors to represent them.

   Whatever your life may be, I hope that you find balance in it!! I thank Zentangle, being a valuable part of that balance!! How do you find balance in your lives?

"A'MAZE'N"

New Tangle

'aMAZEn'

   As you may all know, I have three children. They are all excited about Zentangle, and some nights or extra hours on weekends, you can find all of us sitting at the table tangling, drawing, and/or coloring. I just love those times! (I just wish there were enough hours in the day to have more of them.) Anyway, my kids are always trying to come up with new tangles. (Most of the time, I have to tell them that their new creation, is in fact, already a tangle.) They are always coming up with ideas for new inventions too. (I'm just hoping that one day, it'll be something that will actually work and we can take it to Shark Tank (the TV series). ) It always amazes me how kid's brains work.

   So that takes me to the reason for this post. My middle child woke up one morning, so excited, telling me he thinks he created a new tangle. So he explained it to me and then tried drawing it out. I got his idea, right away, but he had a few glitches. But together, we were able to figure it out and create step outs for it. 

   Since it is actually creating mazes, ones that people can actually try and figure out, we agreed that it should be called 'aMAZEn'. I hope you like it!  (And if there is something like it out there already, please let me know.) 

   Actually, I forgot to mention, I don't really even know if it would be considered a true tangle. (I know there is a name for this kind of pattern, but I can't think of it.) Anywho, here it is!

As you can see, it works great as a space filler! Click on image to enlarge

   I hope you give it a try! I worked in Helen Williams' 'Tumbleweed' with this Zentangle.

Have an aMAZEn, day everybody!!!

TRACED OBJECT STRINGS

I Am the Diva, CZT

Weekly Challenge #213

'Traced Object Strings'

These were my uses of strings.

   Long-time-no-see everybody!!!! It has been a while, and unfortunately I did not do any catch-up challenges. I'm hoping to catch you up only on, on goings in my life though, in future posts. Some good things some bad, but I will focus on the good! (wink wink).

   I hope all is well with every one of you!!! 

Keeping this post short, because I am already late in getting in the challenge!

   Have a blessed Sunday!!!

I love, love, love the new tangle 'Intwine', by Helena Hadzijaneva! And another one of my faves lately is 'Lolo' by Hsin-Ya Hsu. Oh, yes, and 'Tumbleweed', by Helen Williams. Please go to Tangle Patterns, by Linda Farmer, to see all of these tangles and more!

   So there you have it!!! What a fun challenge Laura!!! Thank you for always keeping us guessing!
