Diva Challenge 366

The Diva (Laura Harms, CZT) of the I Am the Diva blog took the summer off from issuing tangle art challenges and a global groan was heard--people really missed her.  But everyone deserves time off. 

While I rarely get to participate, i wanted to participate in her "return challenge" to honor her and say thanks.  (True to form, I'm very late and she's already issued #367.  Arrgh!)  Check out her challenge page here; scroll all the way down to the challenge (always at the bottom) and check out the wonderful tiles people produce and post.  And if you read their comments to her, you'll see how loved she is.

Here's my tile for #366, which was a "back to basics" challenge with dots, string, and basic tangles.  After doing the dots and string I decided I wanted to put the tangles (mostly) OUTSIDE the string, not inside.  So, I did.

Micron 01 black pen, graphite. Tangles include Hollibaugh/PeelED (a mish-mash), Printemps, Keeko, Footlites, and a variation of Florz called Trips.

And below is a recently-finished Zentangle® journal cover.  I've yet to seal it because my brand-new can of sealant isn't spraying right.  Don't you hate when that happens...grrr.

I started this cover at Kripalu's most recent Zentangle workshop with Molly & Martha teaching. Too many tangles to name each one but you can see a ton of SandSwirl in there along with Bales, Hollibraid, Keeko, and others.
