STRING THEORY, SPIRAL OUT (entry II) ZENT'EGG'LE

Weekly Challenge #160
"String Theory: Spiral out, Keep Going! (v.2)"
  
    Okay, I know I said I was real busy right now with my parent's 50th anniversary, but I couldn't help to want to spiral out, again!! And mostly, on an egg!! For years my mother and I have done Pysanky egg art. It is a Ukrainian tradition done for Easter. I LOVE doing Pysanky eggs.(Unfortunately, not enough time to do that right now in my life.) Now that I have been introduced to Zentangle, Pysanky is quite like the form of Zentangle. Except that with Pysanky, each and every symbol or stroke put onto an egg, has a meaning. Even the color that is used, is all symbolic. Pysanky is a Christian art form that dates way back. (At another time, I will do a whole post on Pysanky) But since I am strapped for time, I will hold off on that for now. So this leads to my desire to want to spiral an egg!! (Usually in the art of Pynsaky, you don't want to spiral, the circular lines need to meet and be precise.) Anyway, I though it might be fun to do a quicky!!! (those usually are fun, aren't they?) heehee
   Here is my spiraled l out zent'egg'le!!   (click images to enlarge)
This end I want to use lines to work between. 

This side of the egg, I wanted to keep airy, open and more organic.

Side view.  I used a blown out, light brown egg.
   The reason I hurried to get this in and post it is to, maybe inspire all of you! Easter is right around the corner! But also, that it is really fun to spiral on an oval shape such as an egg. Give it a try! (I will go into more detail on pens and tangles that I used, in a future post.) So stayed tuned!!

The work that everyone has done with this Diva Challenge, is just simply AMAZING!!
Have an awesome weekend!

SPIRAL THEORY and INCHIE, 'FIGURE'

Weekly Challenge #160: 
"String Theory: Spiral out, Keep Going! (v.2)"

 I used tangles Quib, and Jax
    I kinda went simple and quick this week. I have two more weeks until the big day! My parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, and I am the event planner!! On top of that, we went camping this past weekend and you know what that means when you get home..........Lot's of laundry and clean up!!! Wait,.........there's more! My kids have a two week break from school!! So my next two weeks are gonna be a little bit CRAZY!!!!  But,........there's no way, that I'm gonna miss a Diva Challenge!!! As always, Laura, a great challenge!!!!!
My three little munchkin's trying to fall asleep!
It got down to 40 degrees in early morning! So. CA. people not used to that cold temps!
Fishing, but no luck!!
True camping, our families 1st time!! Loved it!!!



Every Inchie Monday
Weekly Challenge
'Figure'

As in 
'Figure of Speach'




   I decided to look up the word 'figure' in the dictionary and found 22 different (noun) definitions. So I decided to use it as a rhetoric. 



I know, a bit 'silly', but imagine a butterfly, or any bug, with ears?

   As I mentioned up above, I am to be VERY busy this next two weeks, so without missing a challenge, my entries might be a little quick and not up to par. 
Have an AWESOME week!

TOP O' THE MORNIN' and INCHIE, 'FOREST'

Top O' the Mornin'
Weekly Challenge #159

   I have to confess, this first one I had done last St Patty's Day, but it was before I knew about the real Zentangle! So, I thought I would share this Zia with you now! (The three leaf clover is to represent the Trinity, (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The four leaf clover is supposed to be 'Good Luck', that's if you can ever find one :0) )!
I actually used this for a birthday card for my nephew. He was born on the 17th! (and as you can see it was done in a book I had bought to practice doodling.)
   This next one I did was a quickie and hopefully later I can do one in more of the true Zentangle style. The horse shoe is also an Irish symbol of Good Luck!
This Zia is made up of my tangle 120 Ribbonz (step out here) and Schway
   Have an Irished Blessed Day and Week!!! Watch out for the green beer!!!
*My niece is having her first treatment today so I'm asking for prayers. The treatments will last 6 weeks. So continued prayers are needed, please!! Thank you,.....and God Bless You!!! XO's
