Diva Challenge #137

I am so excited for fall! I made myself a seasonal bucket list, a good friend added to it, and now I can't wait to start checking things off. I got my first one done yesterday, which was to kick up some leaves. If you haven't made seasonal bucket lists before, you should definitely try it! It's fun to come up with things to do, and it's kind of like a grown up scavenger hunt.


And here's my tangle for the diva challenge this week! The challenge was "Duotangle: Knights over Tipple". :)

Happy fall! Go kick up some leaves!

Diva Challenge #135

Oh look! I finally completed a diva challenge! AND posted it! Haha. Usually they just sit happily in my sketchbook. :) This one required the use of the new pattern "Well" from Rick and Maria.

I used Well, along with Dragonair, filled with Helen Williams' Leaflet.

A funny thing happened when i was making this one too. I didn't set out with the intention of making any sort of emotional statement but when it was all done and I looked at it again I realized it was practically an allegory for how I've been feeling. The patterns "above" are all free, flowing and growing. Then there's a sort of window through which you can glimpse a bandaged underside. It's funny how I had forgotten how healing and revealing a Zentangle can be sometimes.  :)

Happy tangling everyone!
