DIVA 355, Joey 207, Bridges, & Tiny RR Tiles

This week's DIVA challenge #355 is Verve. I picked a water colored tile, drew Verve in the corner, then into another corner...and a third corner and voila, my tile was finished in no time. One of the quickest tiles as of late and it looks funny, like the head of a ram.

Tangle Pattern: Verve and Verve alone

After looking at it for a while I thought I can do better... And indeed! Here my very traditional Zentangle DIVA Verve tile. I even added Festune, one of the first tangles I learnt when I started with Zentangle Art with Beckah Krahula's book One Zentangle A Day.

Tangle Patterns: Verve, Indy-Rella, Pokeleaf,
Flux, Undling, Msst, Henna Drum, Festune
and PS helped putting a color spin to it.

Joey's Weekly Challenge #207 still runs under the "Ribbons (!) and Curls" theme and we have Pokeleaf as the main tangle. My ribbons are small but I made up for it with "Double Pokeleaves". No sooner did I finish this 'new' Double Pokeleaf tangle I got an idea....

Tangle Patterns: Double Pokeleaf, Brooch, Tupi

...and here the idea: "Double Pokeleaf Wholly Hollibaugh". What a mouthful this name is. However, I still need some practice scattering glitter on my tiles evenly. LOL

Here are the Bridges! When I drew Lily Bridge for last week's Joey tile #206 a thought was nagging at the back of my head: 'this tangle has potential for more'! So this tile was born.

I am presently working on the tanglepatterns.com Refresher tile #174, the first of two for this month. One of the 5 tangles is 3V. I was quite taken by it. Simple, beautiful, lots of possibilities and geometric.

Focus on tangle pattern 3V

These are "Ragged Ray" tiles or tiny RR tiles. I was quite impressed how she drew beautiful Zentangle art on tiny tiles and had to try them out. Still learning here, but some came out quite OK in my eyes. And should I mess up, well, it would be only a tiny mess.

Gudrun S., told you I have to try out Kwazeela...and now I am still at it!

Focus on Brooch, the tangle I used in this week's Joey tile with
tangles Nzepple, Zinger, Fescu, Tipple

This is my version of Ria Matheussen's Tupi tangle. It may look weird, so let me explain. I drew two normal Tupi next to each other and then used the space between the two to create a third.

This is 3V gone wild. Yes, the same tangle as above, the grey-blue tile. Lots of possibilities. Love it!

This is again a Refresher #174 request tangle: Starcrossed. The original didn't do much for me, I had to find an interpretation I liked. Voila, here comes 'Starcrossed Flower'!

Focus on Starcrossed - now Starcrossed Flowers

Last but not least...here my String Rose Swirl tile, a tangle by Helen Williams and a tangle I really struggled with. I kept this place open...didn't want to publish the post until the tile was done! (The pressure I was under...you cannot imagine!) The rose butt itself I had under control since my last week's post, but the swirls!!!! Well, these (!) swirls are my (!) swirls and I better start accepting them.

I hope you enjoyed last week's amazing car quintet mini concert video. This week is not so musical, because...

"Help! My pencil got screwed!"

Above I have a section about 'tiny tiles'. In comparison with these pencil art pieces they are huuuuuuuge though! Click here to see amazing real pencil art work.
