Diva Challenge #307, Made by Joey Challenge #156, IAST Challenge#188

"Zingo"

This weeks Diva challenge was inspired by the latest and most delightful video in the Kitchen Table Tangles series from Zentangle HQ. This one features Indy and Mazzy, Molly's young daughters. They are super cute as they masterfully demonstrate their tangle "Zingo" (I think it's their tangle). 

Finish My Tile Alphabet Series: K
featuring: "Kiss"
additionally: K-leesi, Kandy Ribnz, Khirkee and Kizzmet

This is the latest in my Bijou series as I work my way through headers for my pattern library binder. I've adapted Joey's strings/starters to feature her selected pattern within the confines of my letter font using black ink to define that part of it, then using however many additional patterns I can include within the remaining parts of the "string" using brown ink. 

Adele's string
patterns: Fricle, Zinger & Fescu

This is probably the first time I've tackled the IAST challenge before the Diva and Joey. I had a couple of water color zendala rounds I'd created for a Travelling Tangles swap that I never ended up signing up for. I've had them on the back burner in the event I needed to produce something organic. It's funny though, because as I'm looking at it now, on the screen, as I type this, I'm struck with the feeling that it doesn't feel finished. Hmmmnnn....

I just found this Travelling Tangle I finished last week. I'd forgotten all about it. If I'm not mistaken, the Kitchen Table Tangles post had just appeared on my feed as I was pondering this start.


Debra Huff, from Oceanside CA, sent me this "Twinchie" (or Bijou) with just the gold metallic loop in the middle. I went on a crazed Feng Shui photo purge of my phone pics and sadly deleted the starter pic. I'm not too fond of the clumsy brush pen marker shading...but...it is what it is...my first attempt at "Zingo".

Anyhoo...Thanks so much for stopping by. Your thoughtful and generous comments delight and inspire me!

    I really like your IAST tile - working on the round works with the tangles. I'm running out of this week so very little tangling - but always nice to look at what I'm missing!

      Thanks Jem! I'm actually a bit surprised (and pleased) that I was much more efficient than usual;-)

    I love your Zingo and Zinger. Both are fantastic tiles with their dark, mysterious colors and the white for highlights. I also noticed the florz pattern with your fescu. Great idea!

    What a fun group of tiles:) Pastel tones on your Diva Challenge tile look so pretty with Zingo. The IAST looks done to me:) The organic tangles make room to appreciate your beautifully painted background.

    Love them all, but I think my favorite is the IAST. I love how it breathes with that negative space.

      Thank you Jennifer! I do have a tendency to obliterate the backgrounds;-)

    As always, I'm very impressed by your productivity. I really like the color palate you're using on your tiles. Very zen---should "Z"en always be capitalized?
