I am some what behind on challenges and dares and all that fun stuff! Arggh! I let them stack up and then realize I better post or I will never finish. I draw every evening after school work - it's my therapy. This week at school we are doing lots of tests - benchmarks and the State Writing Test. Pressure! So I need my evening "therapy"!
I didn't get Judy at Creative Doodling's celtic knot challenge up in time, but I am going to post it anyway. For celtic knot #9, we were supposed to use at least 3 tangles we had never used before. That was fun. I chose to use Gella, Piza, and Paradise Flower. There are some others to balance it out that I love. Sparkle is one of my new favorites. It is so much like verve, I have to love it.

The Bright Owl had a template up that I loved. It has so much "fun" potential. I made several copies and put them into my
one day basket. I had finished the one I wanted to use for the dare when my brother looked at one of the blank ones and said it reminded him of something we saw in a computer game we play. When he said that, I saw exactly what he was talking about and had to do that one also. It is sort of a steampunk place in the game and when you add the right tangles it looks almost like the one in the game.

I really liked the Diva's challenge. We were supposed to do our tile in stripes. This gave me a chance to play around with some tangles and see how they might look as a border. But I wanted it to be different than just stripes - well, of course. So I put my stripes on circles and decided to do several. It sort reminds me of planets. Strange.

That brings me to the end of my stack. Whew! Thanks for viewing. I do wish I could post each one and get them up sooner. It just doesn't seem to be possible. Even now there is a stack (a less therapeutic one) of papers waiting to be graded. Glad you dropped by and I love reading your comments. Have a great rest of the week!
wow, you still got a lot done, Cathy! I couldn't imagine only being able to draw of an evening - I'd never end up going to bed!! They're all beautiful! Love the frames :)
ReplyDeleteGreat work Cathy. I like what you have done in all of these patterns.
ReplyDeleteAll are beautiful! I especially like the zendala with Verve in the centre. I wish I had thought of that. The tangles you used in the challenge are great.
ReplyDeleteI love all of them--especially Skyrim and the Diva challenge, the circles were brilliant and they are kinda like little planets! Cool! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI agree with al comments. You sure had a lot of inspiration this time. I love the zendala with Skyrim, looks just delicate and weldone.
ReplyDeleteFabulous all - Love the verve in the center of the first - it's stunning! And a great idea to do stripes in circles caught in a net :) for the challenge. Lots to look at - and beautifully done and shaded. Thanks for getting them posted - I've enjoyed looking at each of them!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but especially the "planet"one
ReplyDeletevery beautyfull
Wow! Really beautiful tangling. I couldn't pick a favorite, but I do love the center of your first Dare 28. Not to take away from the rest, though. They're all wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI really like the stripes, so much detail.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much! You brighten my day with your kindnesses.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so wonderful! your shading is superb. Imagine my surprise when I read you used my pattern Gella for the Celtic Knot Challenge #9 - the whole piece looks lovely and the colours give it such a pretty feminine look to it. Thank you and thanks for sharing with us :)
ReplyDeleteyou've been so busy! i love the color in the first - wonderful line work!
ReplyDeleteYour line work is so rich and beautiful! Thank you for sharing so many gorgeous zentangles with us!
