The Diva's Weekly Challenge #169 was Circles. I like circles a lot and it was fun to draw. I would like to do a ZIA with circles if I find the time this week. Perhaps on Ascension Day if the weather is rainy.

I had another tile for the Diva's Rain Challenge, but was too late to put it in. It's somehow a weird tile and I'm not sure what I shall think about it.

Enjoy Ascension Day if you don't have to work and happy tangling.

This is my second entry to the Diva's circle challenge. For the first time I used my coloured pencils also for shading. I'm quite satisfied with the result.

I feel much better, the cold is gone and my mood is high - yippie!!!

The Diva's Weekly Challenge was to use the Pattern Rain, so I did a quick ATC. Perhaps I have later this week time for a bigger tile.

Last week I made this thank-you-card for a friend, who invited us (the regional team for the yearly Womens World Day of Prayer) to a Moroccan dinner and to show her photographs of her desert-trip last autumn. It was a very nice evening, the meal was very tasty and the pictures of the desert were gorgeous and my wanderlust was rising.

Then I decided that this ZIA is finished. I experimented with some metallic markers and wasn't sure if I should colour the background. But finally I took the decision to let it be as it is.

I wish you a lot of sun this week and happy tangling. 

Last week ended with a sore throat and this week began with coughing and sneezing. Yesterday I thought I'm in no mood for tangling. Then I started regardless and produced this tile. I'm quite happy with it. Now I hope this nasty cold passes soon. 
I hope you all feel better than me in this moment and wish you a happy week.

I have just finished this ZIA. I was inspired by Art Lady Kate (http://katetangles.blogspot.ch) for the ATC.  And then I thougt I could put it in the middle of a ZIA and tangle around. So that's what came out.

It's a string thing #39: String 036 and patterns with M like Makramee, Meer, Msst and Mooka, in honour of Yamit Fridman who created the string.

I submit my tile also to the weekly challenge #7 of madebyjoey see             here: http://madebyjoey.blogspot.ch/ The challenge was to emphasize the string. The string in my tile is the darker tendrils and the keeko-part of Mak-rah-mee and the left border of Meer.

I began tangling after having finished my preparation for tomorrows religion class. I'm philosophing with the children (11,12 years old) about the soul. So my thoughts were still in this soul-theme and it occurred to me what a soul-pampering thing zentangling is, isn'it. I'm so grateful for this gift.

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #166: UMT (Use my tangle) 
We had to use Laura's tangle with yet no name. See here: http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.ch
Laura's tangle reminds me of my chemistry lessons about molecules and atoms. So my suggestion for its name is moleca

In my tile you can see a window that gives you a look behind the things you can see and touch, a look behind where only molecules and atoms exists... and far beyond and yet in every thing ... God.

I wasn't happy with the shading, so I shaded the inner part and cleared a bit of the shading in the outer part.

I wish you all a happy tangling week. And thank you for your comments.



I just finished this Zia. Sometimes I like to tangle without a string so my patterns can grow freely. 
In this Zia I began with Mooka, then added Axlexa, Fandango, Barney, Pozer, Quib, Floatfest, Coaster, Fluke, Fengle, Betweed, Fern and Keeko. I don't know the name of the tangle between Fengle and Coaster.
