Traveling Tangles Project

There is a group on Facebook called Travelling Tangles Project and it currently has over 1200 members.  Here is a copy of the description of the group....

Travelling Tangles is a collaborative project that aims to show how the Zentangle® method can bring people from around the world closer to one another. The idea is that you will draw on an original Zentangle tile but only finish the drawing half-way. Then you will send it off to another person for him/her to complete it. In exchange, they too will half finish a tile and send it to you for you to complete. Both you and the other person will then each keep the tile you have received. 

This group is open to everyone- the more the merrier.

How fun is this!  I am starting out slowly, so I don't have too many tiles waiting to be completed, but I definitely wanted to be a part of this tile exchange.  I love to send and get happy mail for all over the world!   I am posting what I have done and received so far, and I hope to have more posts in the near future.

Does this sound fun to you?  If so, join the group, and you too can send and receive happy mail!

It started out with 4 of us at a Coffee Shop.  We each did part of a tile and passed it on to be completed.  I did not get before pics and only got 3 completed ones.
This is also when I joined the FB group.

Pat Mathes/CZT started with the zen gem and tangles Quandu & Tipple
I completed the tile with tangles Betweed, Poke Leaf, Finery, Fife, and Tipple

I started this tile with tangles Ischor & Chainling
CJ Petersen/CZT completed it with Poke Leaf & Yincut

If you are still with me through this long post, I encourage you to join the group, it's a lot of fun! 



 

 

 

 

 

    

 

                                

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

     

DIVA Challenge 290 Duotangle of nZeppel vs. Flux

I love the duotangle challenges from the DIVA!  These are challenges where you can only use two tangles, and in this challenge the tangles are nZeppel and Flux.  I did mine on a tan tile this week because I love adding the white highlights.  It was very hard for me not to add Tipple to around the Flux as I usually do in most cases.  Fun challenge!  Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments.  They do mean a lot to me!  Enjoy the rest of your week and upcoming weekend!

DIVA Challenge 289 Leafy Goodness

This week's challenge is a Fall/Autumn theme of doing something with leaves.  Like last week's challenge, I decided to use color since this season is so full of beautiful colors.  We had a CZT play date several week's ago at my house and one of the things we did was to play with alcohol inks.  I had never tried them before and I really enjoyed experimenting with them.  The colors are so vibrant and the textures and blending are so awesome.  So I decided to use these to create my 3 leaves. I did this on Yupo paper (a shiny non porous paper) that works well with alcohol inks.  The colors were so pretty, I almost didn't want to tangle on them!

DIVA Challenge 288 Simply Gourdgeous

While the DIVA is having a touch of early winter up in Canada, we are having a beautiful fall here in Colorado. I love this time of year, with the leaves changing colors, and the crisp cooler air! I haven't used the tangle, Gourdgeous, too often, but it is a fun one to use this time of year.  I hope you are enjoying a wonderful fall, if you live in the northern hemisphere that is! Happy spring, to my friends down under!

DIVA Challenge 287 Dreamcatcher

The first Monday of the month at the DIVA challenge is for us to use the tangle, Dreamcatcher by Daniel Lamothe. I have never tried this tangle before, and I found it very easy, and can see that it could be very versitle too. The simple steps create a great mandala! Have a wonderful week everyone, and thanks for stopping by!
