Starry Eyed Surprise

Laura Harms' 4th weekly challenge was a surprise!   I tried a few stars free-hand but couldn't continue, I needed a more repetitive way so I used my own version of a star, one I learned as a child, and then it was easy to do them quickly and use them as fill.  This was fun and whimsical.  I finally did a tangle in record time!  The shading here is done with a silver pencil but it doesn't show very well in the photo--I think it is quite pretty on the paper.  Thank you Laura or another fun challenge!

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-)
