Diva Challenge #197 – Arukas

Weekly Diva Challenge,
Dear Tanglers,

I’ve been sick all week. Not so nice. But then again, being in bed finally gave me the time to tangle a bit – and to participate in the Weekly Diva Challenge – just in time before the new challenge comes out tomorrow! 😉

Arukas ZentangleI’ve been wanting to try Arukas for weeks now, but since I’ve been working on the English translation of my book, I’ve been spending more time on the computer than tangling.

Arukas is the latest “officilal” Zentangle pattern and it’s wonderfully versatile. Guaranteed hours of playing! 😀 Here’s how to draw it.

 

 

A new Zentangle-Challenge: The Pattern Mixer

Pattern Mixer Challenge,
Dear Tanglers!

In my last entry I told you I’m taking over the blog of my publisher today. This blog and the one at freudemitzentangle.de (only in German) will be linked to each other and on every first day of the month I have a special goody for you on both sites: the first German Zentangle-Challenge!!

Challenges are just plain “in” at the moment. Be it Zentangle or vegan food or ice buckets, every topic has its own challenge. (In case you don’t know about challenges: The challenger (that will be me) provides a subject or challenge, and the challengees (that will be you) do their best to fulfil it. This is meant as an opportunity for the participants to come out and do something new, to learn new things, and possibly to go beyond your usual limits and grow bigger and better.)

BIJOU!

Zentangle Tiles,
Dear Tanglers,

I’ve finally done it! It took me a few weeks (or was it months?), but I’ve finally managed to try out Zentangle’s new Bijou tiles. Bijou tiles are even smaller than the original Zentangle tiles. At only 5 x 5 cm there’s only one thing I can say about them: cute!

And Bijou himself is no less so. Rick and Maria, the founders of Zentangle, tell the story of how they found the little snail crawling up Maria’s suitcase in their hotel on a trip to Paris. He’s since inspired them with his slime-trail-tangles on their front porch. Bijou even has his own website. Continue reading BIJOU! →
