Spring Break - Yahoo!

    This is day two of a wonderfully long nine days of spring break.  I am so glad to have time to "play".  I have plans to tangle and catch up my Tangle-a-Day calendar.  I want to spend some time doing that Diva challenge again this time with the wood burner.  Also, the cricut is calling my name to get some cards done!  Unfortunately it has started out a rainy break, so my football time has had to go on hold.  Lakota is not so keen on that.  He walks around the house sighing - loud,  exasperated sighs. 
     A monotangle is a tile or piece of art work using only one tangle and lots of variations.  Each week, Roy at Mindful-Creations gives us a monotangle challenge.  I love the concept.  Past choosing the tangle I want to use, which can sometimes be a problem, it becomes a very relaxing tile to do.  I don't have to think about which tangle to use - just relax and tangle.  Nice.  If you enjoy tangling, check out his site.
Monotangle #3 - using Twile
     We had a storm last night.  The significance of that remark is that because of the storm,  I wasn't sitting at the computer playing the Sims3.  So I took the time (with all the electronics off) to sit and work on the dare from Bright Owl.  See the sidebar for the link to her site - she has a wonderful new look and lots of great information for tanglers.  At first glance the template was not my favorite.  It took a lot of staring for me to get an idea.  Even so, it still isn't one of my favorites.   I like the results, but the template was difficult.
Dare #50 - nzeppel, paradox, and betweed
     Hope you have a wonderful week and thank you for dropping by!  I love your comments - they make my day!

  1. I really like your zendala, I haven't been brave enough to attempt this challenge as I haven't made a zendala yet and this looks tough.

  2. Great tangle choice for the monotangle -t came out great. Your zendala is gorgeous - didn't recognize the template - then I see it's #50. Maybe I should go back and pick up challenges I missed!

  4. Well, I really like your Zendala! You may not be pleased with it, but I think you did a fantastic job on it! Also like your Monotangle. I used to play Sims 3 all the time until I found Zentangle - lol. It's a fun game. : ) Enjoy your spring break!

  10. Great zendala - I love your choice of tangles and you've done a great balance with straight lines, and curves, dark and light.
