Diva #9 - Zentangling - Second Challenge and with my Grandson!!

 My beautiful older grandson is 6, rising 7, and loves to craft and draw with me... I showed him zentangling last week when he was here with me because of sickness... he sat all afternoon and had a go. His 2 pieces are above. He used pencil first - he HATES making mistakes and demands perfection from himself (now I wonder who he takes after there then!!! , poor little soul...) but then he realised it would be ok to try, so he used one of my pens - well two actually, as he realised he needed something a bit fatter to colour in the black space!!! I think he did a great job!!

 Here are a few of my efforts this week, trying out a new pattern from the Diva herself!!! She made it up sitting in the hospital with her darling Artoo, who was very poorly...so it's called artoo. She challenged us to use it this time in our tangling, so I had a go... I think I am getting a bit more fluid in my movements. Anyway, I am still LOVING it and the gentle discipline it gives me...

This was last night's effort... a larger square to start with, being about 5"x5" instead of 3" as above... I just let the artoo grow right through the middle and the rest just fitted snuggly round. It's interesting to note that some squares are solid but some are empty in places... I wonder why that is??
Thanks for looking and I hope my new zentagling folks like it!!

Zentangling - My First Challenge #8 Heart +2

The Heart of the Matter

Here is another zentangle... I am hooked, as I told you last time, and have found a wonderful community who have started a challenge. Here is the blog of I Am a Diva, who runs this one. She has a young babe who was prem and has had many problems... this week was to make a piece for him, sending positive vibes, and with heart... also to use 2 tangles from previous challenges. So I have used the ixorus, which you have seen me do before, and orbs, which is the balls in the bottom right corner.

I am so inexperienced, but I hope this offering is acceptable!!! It was made with little Artoo in mind, anyway, hoping he keeps strong and fighting... So much wonderful work on this challenge blog community, it is well worth a look... ENJOY

Thanks so much for looking, and please comment if you have time and inclination
Love and Light
