Framed Tangle from DreamScribe

Kit (DreamScribe) kindly sent me one of her Zentangle(R) creations and I loved it so much I had it framed. It is back from the framer today and sitting on my diningroom wall. I just love it. Her work is exquisitely beautiful! Thank you, Kit!

Two Pencil String

Laura Harms aka I am the Diva's second weekly challenge is to tangle with a 2-pencil string.  This is my tentative entry...I kept it simple, still have trouble with Betweed, practiced a few times on Paradox (top left) and I'm happy with how it turned out. I'm not so sure I like the string, I flubbed it a little at the bottom. Might just try another tangle for this challenge...mixed feelings about this one.

No, I am not going to change it...I did some thinking and that is not the attitude Zentangle promotes.  There are no mistakes (having a little trouble with that part) and tangling is supposed to be relaxing not ending in self criticism.  I have decided to be happy with it because I was happy doing it!  Lesson learned! 8-)

I am going to get a scanner one of these days because it is difficult to get decent camera shots of these tangles!

A new (to me) string idea

I needed string inspiration. If I don't like the string, I don't feel like doing a tangle and most of my strings I am not happy with because of my trembling hands.

I saw the tangles done at Kit's workshop and liked the looped strings. Then in my grocery flyer this week, I saw double loops around a graphic...and really liked that. So, I snatched the idea.  Tomorrow I will finish this tangle.

Tangle finished and I added a little shading...might need a bit more.
