UMT- CAMELIA and INCHIE, IMPLAUSIBLE

I Am the Diva, CZT
Weekly Challenge #165
'UMT-Camelia'

   Thank you, Anne Marks, for this fun and versatile tangle!!! I can see that there is going to be so many options with it!! If you haven't checked it out go to Anne's blog, The Precious Worker, and see the deconstruction of this fun tangle!!

   A big thank you, to Laura for always being spontaneous and spunky!! I love that you threw in this UMT, even if it isn't the first Monday of the month!! I like that about you!! Have an awesome week!!

  And now for my tangle. I was feeling quite free and very relaxed, so I had a bit of time to get this one done.

   Thank you, Donald, for the inspiration! He had the tangle, 'Wist' on his Earth Day tile and it looked so pretty that I had to give it a try!! (Of course, I had to ask what it was!) Michele Beauchamp is the creator of 'Wist'. I had a lot of fun with it! Thank you both!!

For some reason I wanted to use 'Camelia' as a border! Like I said , it's so versatile!  Tangles used: '120 Ribbonz', 'Snag', Camelia and Luv-a,

   I do have to confess. I thought I was going to have a client tonight, so I didn't go to my kid's soccer practice. My husband did, though. But as it may be, I didn't have a client! ( I looked at my calendar wrong.,,,,,,,,,,,ooops!!) So I felt a little guilty with 2 1/2 hours to myself, with peace and quiet!! Boy, was that nice!!! So therefore, I felt like I had time to really play!! Wow, I could use some self time like that every week!! HHHmmmmmm!!

'Implausible'

   Wow, this was one that I had to go to the dictionary for!!! 

*implausible-not having the appearance of truth of credibility 

So, as soon as I read the definition, this is what I came up with. Would you agree?

   If you go to I Love Lucy: The Moustache, you can see the photo. A partial of the episode is on You Tube ! Get a good laugh and see why she is my depiction of 'implausible'!

HAPPY EARTH DAY!! and INCHIE 'HOT'

"Oh Amanda!!!"

I Am the Diva CZT,

Weekly Challenge, #164

   Happy Earth Day, to everyone!!! A day to give back to our Mother Earth!!! (It should be everyday, but let's use this day to focus and reflect on how we can make a change!!) 

   So my kids are celebrating Earth Day at school, and my 1st grader asked me if helping animals, helps the earth... Hmmmmmmmm! I said yes! (Now his teacher said no. But I have a feeling it was because of how he asked the question.) So when my husband got home we asked him, and thank goodness, he said yes! I would love to hear your input on this! We gave some explanation on how worms help the earth, animals eat plants and it helps maintain balance, and fish help keep balance in our ocean reefs!  I could probably think of more,....but anyway! Now that we are here on earth, what ways can we make personal changes to help maintain balance and keep our Earth Flourishing?

(click on image to enlarge; Tangles used Quandary, Diva Dance, and (clouds?)

   I decided to go with a Zia! A tree, waterfall, green and blue, and then a dove with a branch from an Olive tree, for 'Hope'!!!! In hopes that our Earth will go on for generations to come!!!

   Back in January, the Diva's Challenge, #150 was 'One little word', and my submission for that would also work for today's Earth Day challenge!!!

HAPPY  ZENTANGLED EARTH DAY!!

 "'HOT' Off the Press!!!"  

Every Inchie Monday, 

Weekly Challenge 

'HOT'

   I had so many things run through my head on this one!! But, 'Hot off the press' and 'Hot Pink', went well together, so I used them both!! Can't wait to see what everyone else came up with!!!

Have an awesome and blessed

Easter Week!!!

IT'S TIME TO ZENT'EGG'LE

ZENT'EGG'LE

your Easter eggs this year!!!

   Hello Everyone, and Happy Holy week!!! I just wanted to do a little 'Egg'stra post on Zentangled Easter Eggs! You can go to my post on March 28, 2014, When, I believe, I posted my first Zent'egg'led, Easter Egg. I use a real egg, only because I have been doing artwork on eggs for 15 years now, and I have a lot of blown out eggs saved up! But being that I have started the awesome art of Zentangle, this is my first year Zent'egg'ling an egg.

   I just want to share some helpful hints that worked for me.

   If you look in this photo, the colored Recollections markers, worked great on the natural egg. (Now I have not yet tried them on plastic eggs.) But one of the BEST finds I have come across, is the 'PERMANENT LePEN' !!! I will never go without owning one of these awesome pens! The secret to these pens is that they are alcohol based. Therefor they dry 'lickity split'!!! No need to wait for drying time! I have tried them on so many slick surfaces, and each time, it works! Plus it does not rub off!   (I found it was a hidden secret, for people who personalize Christmas ornaments, in the shopping mall. They never wanted to tell me what kind of pen they were using. So I was on a hunt. And a very nice sales clerk at JoAnnes' Fabrics let me try some pens out without purchasing them first. And,.... Wah La, I found the secret treasure!!!!) I'm sorry, but some things "ARE" worth letting out of the bag! I believe in sharing the good news!! 

   So again, if you go to my past post, you will see one example. Then I decided it would be a great contribution to send one to the CBS Sunday Morning, Zentangle effort. Linda Cobb and Linda Halvorsen, are the two CZTs that are organizing this great effort. Trying to get CBS to run an excerpt on Zentangle and the founders, Rick and Maria! I think it is awesome!! I hope it works! (Entries were supposed to be in by April 1st, but I see that more people are still sending them in,.....Like me! ) If you go to Zentangle Blog, you can see sooooo many beautiful and creative entries that fellow Tanglers have sent in! It's not too late to enter yours too!!! 

   So here is my entry. Including a Zent'Egg'le!!

My story is about using Zentangle to bring awareness to a 'CAUSE'! You can see by going to the header of my blog and click on  Ripple Effect. Also, if you go to labels marked 'Brain Cancer Awareness', you will see more Zentangle for a 'CAUSE'!

For the very bright yellow, I had used a water color brush pen. I don't have the package anymore, otherwise I would share the brand.

  

I hope you enjoyed the little bit of info. I hope that it helps! 

So go on an 'Egg'stravaganza, and 

Zent'Egg'le 

your Easter Eggs this year!! 

If I have a chance, I want to do more Zent'Egg'les, and if I do, I will add them to this post!
