Diva Challenge #290 and Made by Joey #136

a travelling two-fer
Diva Challenge #290: a Duo-tangle using Flux and 'Nzeppel
&
Made by Joey #136: Finish my Tangle Series-Fracas


On Monday morning, reading the challenges, I was in a hotel lobby with my sketchbook  waiting for my sister to get up. We were wrapping up a wonderful week of wedding events in Seattle, celebrating the marriage of my nephew.
I wasn't able to complete any travelling tangles this week and didn't get much drawing done at all. With my few essential tools and a 4 hour flight delay, I got down to business. I worked back and forth between the two.
This was the wedding present:



Me and my handsome nephew J.R. on the big day.


The adorable couple:

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Your thoughtful and generous comments delight and inspire me!

    1. Thanks Margaret! The skirt was olive green with copper and blue flowers and leaves. I made it as a 50's cocktail dress 2 years ago for my niece's wedding and then did a little creative re-purposing;-)

  13. Lucky nephew to be receiving such a wonderful, heartfelt wedding gift. It's beautifully done. Love your challenge tiles as well this week. As they say, it really doesn't take many supplies to make some beautiful art with Zentangle. And thank you for sharing your picture with us, it's always good to put a face with a name.
