Quandary is one of my favorits. I draw this one by concentrating on making a triangle with 3 rice shapes. Then I make a new triangle with one of the rice shape by putting 2 new rice shapes along. Not all the shapes are the same and make perfect triangles, but thats what I like about drawing this pattern. It looks very natural once they are embellished and shaded.

DC 160 Spirals
Ik was thuis wel al aan een ZIA begonnen, maar helaas deze niet kunnen afmaken. Vandaag nog even de laatste hand er aan gelegd, en dus bij deze mijn inzending van DC#160. Ik heb 3 tiles getekend op mijn tekenblokje, en vervolgens in elke tile 1 of 2 spiralen gemaakt, en deze met verschillende tangle patronen ingevuld. Ook een niet zo voor de hand liggend patroon (Peanuckle). Erg leuk om te doen, en ik ben tevreden met het resultaat.
Last weekend I went with 6 friends to Austria. We went to Lermoos, and we had a great time, the weather was almost summer because of the high temperature, and luckily there was enough snow on the glacier to ski. We had a lot of fun talking, playing games, skiing and dining with 7 women. So I had no time to do the Diva Challenge. Oh what a pitty, because I love love spirals. I started before I left, but couldn't finish it in time. So today I finished it. I drew some Zentangle Tiles on my sketchbook, put some spirals in it, and started to fill them with different patterns. Even one with peanuckle. I loved doing this challenge, and like my ZIA very much.

DC 159 : St. Patrick Day
Met mijn zwart wit resultaat was ik namelijk helemaal niet tevreden, veel te druk. Wilde hem eerst niet gebruiken, maar toen ik de achtergrond eenmaal lichtgroen had gemaakt, viel het toch wel mee, en heb ik hem helemaal ingekleurd.
This week the challenge is al about St Patrick's Day. Here in the Netherlands we don't celebrate it, and we even don't know it. All I know is that the color is green, and shamrock is an often used logo. I went for an organic ZIA. After I did it in Black and White, I didn't want to finish it, it was to busy. But afte rI colored my background green, I thought give it a chance, and I colored the entire ZIA. After all not so bad at all. So here is my contribution for the challenge.

ZD 92
It's been a while ago I participated in a zendala dare. This weekend I wanted to do one, so I selected number 92 and started with tracing the template, and drawing with my black and brown micron. Some shading with pencil, higlighting with white gelpen, and whit pencil. I did it on my tan colored stratmore sketchbook. I loved working on this one!

DC 158: Diva dancing with Cresent Moon
Deze week 2 prachtige tangles die we mogen gebruiken voor de diva challenge. De diva dance vind ik een prachtig patroon omdat je vooraf niet kunt voorspellen hoe het eindresultaat er uit zal zien. Ik heb op mijn tile met zwarte en bruine micron pen van sakura getekend. De bruine pen lijkt wat rood, maar het is de bruine pen.
This week 2 great tangle patterns to use for the Diva challenge. I like Diva Dance a lot, because one just can't tell on forehand what it is going to look like. The drawing is just growing on the go. I did my tile with my black and brown micron pen. The brown one looks a little bit red, but it is realy brown.

Life string
This week a very special challenge from Adelle. She gave us a picture wich we had to use as a string. Well I thought this isn't difficult, the picture looks like a grid so, grid based tangle and go.....BUT the second challenge is that the tangles had to be one of her list starting with 'Pe'. Well that was hard. I started with printing the picture on my strathmore tan colored paper, and choose pendrils. A pattern I have never used. I was so on focus that I forgot to use my brown micron, wich I had planned to use too. After all I loved this challenge, and had a lot of fun drawing this life string!

Dc 157 charlie
Deze week weer een UMT challenge. De beurt viel aan het patroontje Charlie van Erin. Ik moet zeggen het is niet mijn ding deze tangle. Moeilijk te combineren met andere patronen dus heb er voor gekozen om mijn tile in de diagonaal het patroontje 2 te tekenen, en ze naar elkaar toe laten gaan door telkens een nieuw aura toe te voegen.
This week again a UMT challenge. This time we had to use Charlie from Erin. I have to admit this is not my favorite. I would never do this tangle when I am searching for one to do. I think this one is hard to combine with other tangles. So I decided to divide my tile in half diagonally and did Charlie twice on the diagonal. Then I used auras, to join the two charlies together.
