DUOTANGLE; WELL/PUNZEL and INCHIE 'JET'

Weekly Challenge #167
Well/Punzel

   Now, I have never used Punzel, so as soon as I saw the challenge for this week, I cringed!!! Yeeeks!    But as I started out it wasn't so bad. Then adding color and shading I quite liked it and figured it out! And I love 'Well', I just forget to use it in any of my tiles! So thanks Laura, as always, for breaking us out of our comforts!!
   Once I got into coloring Punzel, I forgot that I had wanted to do it in gray, for Brain Cancer Awareness Month is May! My string was a ribbon and then some added lines. 
   I am so proud of myself, because my last 4 challenges, I have really just let the Zentangle method take over and not let myself try and foresee the outcome of my tile. And it is amazing how the end results feel that much more gratifying. Rick and Maria, founders of Zentangle, had a fantastic post on their blog about Imperfections in Art! ( I tend to be one of those that tries to perfect everything I do) I so agree with what they had to say, so I'm gonna try even harder to reflect on that before I start any art work! Thank you Rick and Maria for reminding us of that!
Click on images to enlarge. As you can see I over drew my lines on Punzel,.....but it was my first go at this tangle so I need to learn and keep practicing!!
   I can't wait to see what all the other Tanglers will have come up with for this challenge!!
For all of you visiting, have a wonderful week!!! 

Weekly Challenge
'Jet'

   Well, with temperatures rising to 100 degrees, and then some, this week, I have been doing a lot more hand watering for all my plants. So when I saw the word 'jet' for this weeks word, it made me think of the nozzle on the hose that I use to water. There are so many different sprays to choose from, but I dare use 'jet' on my flowers!!! The would get torn to pieces. 'Shower' is usually the one I use. Then there is 'mist' or even 'flood'. I think a couple more too. 
   I really enjoy 3D work, so I'm going to try to do more of that with my challenges, if it permits. I love drawing too, but I need to have some variety.


The hose is made of a rubber band, and the water nozzle is a tulip punch tool. The water is a sparkly thread that I have. I used water color pencils, given to me by a dear friend of mine (Love you Jenn!!), for the background.

FREE MOTHER'S DAY PRINTABLE

Free Printable
for 
a 
Happy Mother's Day
card.
I give permission to make copies of this to color and use for your Mother's Day card or whatever it may be.
   I just want to show how I laid out the letters for this project.  Laura from I Am the Diva CZT, has a new tangle. And that is what I used for these letters.

I lightly drew out my letters, then added the circles with my Micron pen and then went back and added  all my lines to make Laura's new tangle. Give it a try! It was fun!
May all Mother's have a very happy and Blessed 
Mother's Day!!

I Am the Diva CZT
Weekly Challenge #166
UMT: Diva Style
(Partee Nitezzz or Logzzz???)

   Ok so, Laura came up with a new tangle. (Which by the way I agree that it should be a new tangle because the first line drawn from one circle to another has to be deliberate as far as what angle you use for all the other lines to follow. ( just saying)..) Anyway, Laura was suffering from insomnia the night (or morning???) she came up with this new tangle. But she said she did not come up with a name for it yet. Then she did mention that her birthday is this month. So I tried to make a positive note out of her NOT sleeping, and thought maybe she could name her new tangle "Partee Nitezzz".??? ( Because, hopeful she will partying all night on her birthday!) I don't know but whatever the name is she does call it, it was a fun one!!! As always, Laura, thank you for keeping us tangling!!! Mondays will never be the same! I now look forward to them, thanks to you and Rick and Maria too!!
With a touch of color,......

..........and without (Tangles used, Cruffle, Diva Dance, and  ? (Partee Nitezzz?)
  (I also thought of "Logzzz" for a title too. My brothers built with Lincoln Logs when they were little and it reminds me of that. Plus you can add a couple ZZZZs to that too for sleep deprivation.)  I had a lot of fun with this one! Now it's time to see all the beautiful entries all of the other tanglers have created!! Have an awesome week!!!

Weekly Challenge 
"Indigo'

   So, I thought this week was going to be much easier than last week, until I started looking for anything and everything 'Indigo' in my house!!! (Tough job that was!!) So, anywho, this is what I came up with.
Quilled color wheel.

Really, there is an inch of paper beneath all of these colored pencil tips. I just thought it would be kinda fun and a little different.
   I'm always excited to see, in what ways all of us Inchers, create an inch of work depicting one simple little word!! That is complete AWESOMENESS!!!

Have a blessed and joyful week!!
