A blurry picture, but that's ok.  Whew!  I made it to the end of the A to Z challenge!  I think from now on, I will try to post my Zentangle art at least once a week.  I really enjoyed this challenge and hope to do more tangling challenges in the future.

I tangled this paper to use for a letter to a good friend.  I think I may always tangle my own stationery from now on.  I can't wait to write my letter :)

I bought some fine-tipped Sharpie pens today and used them for the first time with this artwork.  I want to play with them some more, but so far I think I like them.  They will allow for much more detail than the markers I have been using.  Plus, I got them 50% off!

Here is my version of Tizzy, Tipz, and Undling

Ok, the picture is super blurry, but you get the idea.  Today I started a new sketch book, and this is the first page.  Top left is Tizzy, the middle stripe is Tipz, and the bottom left is Undling.

The Diva's Challenge this week is an Earth Day challenge.  As I was looking through the s tangles on tanglepatterns.com, I found three that reminded me of one of our most precious resources, water.  Thus, my art was born....

Here is my version of Squid, Scallops and Shiraz.

Yesterday the weather was beautiful, 78 degrees, but this afternoon the clouds rolled back in and it looked like rain could not be far behind.  Hence the rainy tangles today.

I love this tangle and already find myself doodling it in my notebooks.  Of course I had to throw in some AAH because I just can't resist it.

As a knitter, I could not resist the Knyt tangle and I could not resist drawing it in the shape of a knit object.  So I traced a clipart drawing of a winter hat and filled it with my tangles.  Hope you like it :)

My H and I posts are a little late because of allergies.  My eyes have been really hurting for the last couple of days.  Finally, they are well enough to draw and get some screen time :)

Here is my version of Hitched and Inaura, with a little AAH because I love it so.

2015 WIP Wednesday #3: G is for Grey Cowl

  

Stitch Along Wednesday and Watcha Workin' on Wednesday

Today I am taking a break from my zentangles to share my current most-worked-on wip:  Moogly's Madly in Love Cowl.  I am crocheting this cowl in varying shades of grey and I am calling it my 50 Shades of Grey Cowl, even though there will be less than 50 shades in the actual garment.  Here is a close-up shot of my stitches....

And a slightly blurry picture of my overall progress so far.  You can see the different grey yarns that I have used thus far.

What are you working on this week?

This is my version of Drip-Drop, with a little CO2.

Drip-Drop was a really simple tangle-pattern to draw.  As I was drawing this pattern, it made me think about the weather here in Oregon, as it does rain a lot here, so I decided to add a little CO2 at the top of the design to represent the sun that is shining outside my window right now.

I don't think that I did a very good job with Alaura, but other than that, I really like this.
