Fleeting Time: DIVA 364(B), Joey's 218, eco-dyeing, a mosaic, stippling, and more

Another ✔️ on an item on my "I-Always-Wanted-To-Do-This" listing; this time for "eco-dying". I am anything but a cook so steaming for 2 hours (!) was out of the question, I had to come up with a fast and "raw" eco-dyeing technique and what jumped to mind was water colors. I am still testing, but the first results are not too bad.

Not sure I can still call it 'eco' but here is my first yellow 'eco'-dyed tile with focus on Keenees, an inspiration I got from this week's Square One.

Tangle Pattern: Keenees

Still under the theme "Front and Center" this week's Joey challenge, #218, features the tangle Dicso.

...and cut from the same 'eco'-dyed paper as Keenees but featuring a variation of Dicso off-center.

Tangle Pattern: Dicso

Here is the original yellow 'eco'-dyed water color paper I used for Keenees and Joey's challenge.

DIVA #364B or DIVA #364 of May 28th? I checked the site several times this week and wondered why the 364 didn't change to 365. Was the DIVA late again? Then I scrolled down just to make sure I didn't miss anything and there it was: DIVA #364: Puf!

My first DIVA tile got off to a bad start. I messed up Puf. So I messed it up even more (I mean if you mess up, mess up big) and now Puf is unrecognizable and I have a fun tile. Perfect!

Tangle Pattern used to be Puf,
now it is Unrecognizable Puf

DIVA attempt #2. This tile is also made using the eco-dyeing water color technique, but this time I used it on normal drawing paper. I am still testing...

I recently noticed that I haven't seen anything from Meridiana for a while. So I visited her site and found out, she had been very busy with a recent Zentangle workshop followed by her very own first real Zentangle teaching job. Congrats, M!

The workshop was basic stuff, but in her 3rd post I noticed a mosaic that interested me. I had to do it! Now! No adding another item to my infamous "I-Always-Wanted-To-Do-This" list. Thanks, Meridiana, for a great inspiration!

So here a quick tile with a great mosaic effect...

Tangle Patterns: Pokeroot, Crescent Moon, Hollibaugh, Tipple

...and here the mosaic tiles comprised by above tile.

I am now the proud owner of my own Mosaic tiles!!!!

Update: WOW! Thanks, Meridiana, I am greatly honored!
You dedicate a whole post to me and my tile/mosaic. I am speechless!

♻️ This is another item from my "I-always-wanted-to-do-this" tile series. I don't refer to the tangle Rundl or Molygon (inspired by last week's DIVA "Remake"), but printed paper. This tile is cut out from the local Fascino drugstore glossy magazine...and it will be the only tile cut out from a glossy magazine (color pencil on glossy paper...nope!). Newspaper paper up next.

Fun Tile with Focus on Printed paper with tangles Rundl, Molygon and Sweet 101.

Tangle Patterns: Rundl, Molygon, Sweet 101

And the new tangle of the week is....Hearts & Diamonds by Helen Williams from a little lime. I made mine on a wonky grid and that forced me to put a spin on it. I couldn't do the lines as per pattern, only aura'd half of the hearts and filled the diamonds with duo color stippling.

♻️ A fun tile drawn on tracing paper glued on bed sheet packaging paper (= half recycle?). When I drew Bracco-Line, a gorgeous tangle, I realized how gracefully it flows into Ilac. Meanwhile I am still practicing my ribbons....
