Monotangle with "Florez"

This week's challenge at Made by Joey was to use "Florez" in a monotangle. I love  "Florez" because it's similar to my favorite pattern "Nzeppel". I'm not sure how it works as a monotangle though. Maybe my brain is lacking the bandwidth this week to think outside the box and explore variations but I've fallen back on the crutch of color.

It's a String Thing #101

Rixty & LG

I had no intention of making this the tile for this weeks String Challenge, but ran out of time. I had a couple of pieces of flimsy card stock I'd stuck in my bag from the scrap paper bin at work, I use them for taking little notes. I was noodling around with the water colors, trying to match the colors of rust from a Pinterest photo I'd saved. It turned out nothing like what I was going for but it had some merit. 

I picked up a pen to practice some "Rixty". This is not a favorite pattern of mine and I only use it when challenges make me do it. Anyhoo, this emerged. It actually looks better here than in real life because the colors photographed much more washed out and don't fight the patterns. Another happy accident!

Thanks for stopping by. Your comments always make my day.

Diva Challenge #223, That's New to Me #25 & Made by Joey #66

 I am the Diva Challenge #223

"Umble"

I'm back to using up some "tiles" I'd cut out of various cardstock a while back. The Diva's challenge this week is to use the old/new official Zentangle pattern, "Umble".  Within the bands of "Umble" I used a variety of patterns whose names escape me except for "Sandswirl" in the middle

That's New to Me #25

"F" patterns: Frost Flower, Florez, Footlites

For this weeks TNTM Challenge I used one of the watercolor wash tiles I'd created for last week's Diva challenge, again letting the colors determine the string. I chose to use "Frost Flower", a new pattern by Karry Heun that was just published on Tangle Patterns today. I also used "Florez" by Cookie and "Footlites" by Carole Ohl.

"Cornerz" Monotangle

This weeks Made by Joey Challenge is to create a monotangle using the pattern "Cornerz". To change things up a bit, I broke out the white gel pen on a cardboard colored tile I'd cut out of some scrap cardstock I found at work.

Thank you for stopping by. Your generous comments always make my day.
