I Am the Diva Challenge #247, "UMT: African Artist" by Tina-Akua Hunziker, CZT

I Am the Diva Challenge #247,  "UMT: African Artist" by Tina-Akua Hunziker, CZT

I went with my first impulse to spiral out from the center and it proved to be fun and adventurous.  I love it when I release the muse and let her take over.  There are no second thoughts anywhere in this very Un-Zendala Zendala.  I just named it "Pulse".  Why not.

I am the Diva Weekly Challenge #245: "Back to Basics, Hollibaugh"

Weekly Challenge #245:  "Back to Basics - Hollibaugh".  Or - My brain on Hollibaugh; The maze at the Overlook; Los Angeles freeway design; Before the prefrontal cortex;  The ghostly remains of my used brain;  Calcified ampersand.

Ah yes, to be 70 and make art like I did at 7;  been waitin for this.

OK tanglers, I know it ain't an official Hollibaugh.  My brain just gets bored with them and I've always sorta like the squirmy wormy version.  Got some Nzeppel in here too.  And maybe, on a stretch, a little Indyrella.

I Am the Diva Weekly Challenge #244: "Tripoli Triptastic"

I have never had much luck with Tripoli.  With Laura's guidance and another look at the step out, I think I get it.  Of course, I have to let it run to organic blobalicious because that's who I am.  I think it looks like something, but I have no idea yet, what.

I used the blue pen and yellow pencil because they were there.  Good enough for me.

I Am the Diva Challenge #242 - Gourdgeous

I just had fun and went for it with no preconceived anything.  And, I accomplished my goal to tangle Gourdgeously with joy and peace and thoughtless purpose - or some such.



The big moustache. hehe.

I am the Diva Weekly Challenge #239 - "Munchin Play"

Like Laura, I've not embraced black tiles. Then I saw the Zentangle blog post and watched Molly's video and was blown away.  I actually found and bought the black tile tool kit at a local craft store the same day.  I am enjoying my black tile adventure and am incorporating colored pencils.  Lots of fun.  Can I achieve the beautifully subtle nuances Maria has shown?  Mmmmmm, not so much.

Enjoy

Weekly Challenge #238: "UMT - Tri-bee by Beate Winkler, CZT"

Weekly Challenge #238: "UMT - Tri-bee by Beate Winkler, CZT"

Well...  I was intrigued by this pattern because I like - love patterns that can grow and develop organically and randomly.  Thought I might practice a bit and as I did I found myself being Auraknaughty (like the spelling), so I followed that knaughty path and this is what happened.  Had fun outlining in my most favorite Sakura brown (red dirt earth) pen.  Quite pleased, me.  Lots of potential with UMT - Tri-bee.
