Diva CZT Weekly Challenge #193: "THX"

A guest blogger challenge this week to use the following tangles: Trio (Hanny Waldburger), Huggins, and Xyp. I decided to use Tanglepatterns String 125 as my base. Trio was new to me, it took some practice (and needs more), but I really like it!

Diva CZT Weekly Challenge #191: "Monotangle - Betweed"


I loved this challenge! For some reason I have been a little intimidated by Betweed, although I did use it some at the class I took with Dani O'Brien. At any rate, this was a great way to conquer my fear! I used a prestrung Zendala (another thing I've been leery of) and I'm super happy with not only how much fun it was, but how it turned out. 

Here is another recent Zendala, this one with no string. I used several of Adele Bruno's tangles and a couple official ones.

Diva CZT Weekly Challenge #190: "Pink for Ardath"

This week Laura asked us to use pink for breast cancer awareness and in honor of her grandmother, Ardath. Like so many amazing women, she passed last year from this disease. I decided to go quite literal with this challenge and use the familiar pink ribbon as my string. I am really pleased with the way it turned out, although it is hard to capture the sparkle of the gellyroll pens I used for part of it in photos.

Made by Joey Weekly Challenge #30: Canadian Thanksgiving.

As today is Thanksgiving in Canada, Joey picked a selection of tangles that represent things you might see at a Thanksgiving celebration. I selected 4 of the 6 she listed: Kukes (Katy Abbott), Sunflower (Anne Marks), Half Onions (Livia Chua, and Nvelope (Alyss Amster). Nvelope and Sunflower were new ones for me.

Made by Joey Weekly Challenge #29: Tanglepatterns String 10 and "O" tangles

I haven't had a chance to do one of Joey's challenges in a few weeks, but I managed this one. It was a fun one! She asked us to use Tanglepatterns String #10 and any tangle starting with the letter O. Here, I used Organza (Ruth Howell) and (O) (Mei Hua Teng).
