Weekly Challenge #209: "Saint Patty's"

 This week's challenge is to GREEN UP your tile

it's more than a month, that i posted my last tile, for the valentine's challenge.

many things are flowing nicely, but winter is still in my bones, the cold still in me. the remaining energy was just never anough to make the challenges. jay, but this spring-green-challenge, how could i not take part of this one. green is a curative colour. 

 to all of you, who are visiting my blog, and especially the ones who leave motivating and, encouraging words, thanks a lot, i love it.

es ist länger als einen monat her, dass ich meine valentine's herausforderung gepostet habe. viele dinge laufen rund, aber der winter sitzt mir noch in den knochen und die erkältung ist auch noch da. die restliche energie reichte einfach in den letzten wochen nicht für den weekly challenge. jay, diese frühlings-grün-herausforderung, da musste ich einfach mitmachen, schon nur weil grün eine heilende farbe ist.

herzlichen dank an meine blogbesucher/inne, speziell an jene, die immer wieder motievierenden worte für mich haben.

the pattern you see up on the left:my nice CZT-sister HANNY from zürich, she found it in her universe, created the step-outl and named it "TIZZY"

das muster oben links: hat meine CZT-schwester HANNY  von zürich in ihrem universum gefunden, und die anleitungl dazu gezeichnet.

Weekly Challenge #204: "Valentangle"

this morning i was using a heart-string with my 2 students. at home i coloured the tile:-), and now this tile fits totally for the weekly challenge.

below you see the card i made for my most special aunt, the sister of my mother, her birthday is just one day after valentin's. i think she's a fan of my art, and i am a fan of her life-friendly happyness.

das sind die tiles die heute in meinem kurs entstanden sind. 

das sind bijou-tiles, und wie ihr seht waren wir nur zu dritt..

wie ich schon im vorigen post erwähnt habe: diese woche bin ich vom VALENTINSTAG (14. feb.) inspiriert, HERZ als flächenteiler.....die tiles (8,9mal 8,9 cm) konnten wir zeitlich nicht im kurs fertig machen:

hier seht ihr eine zwischenphase......und dann das fertige tile.

MUSTER MIXER #3

Die muster für diesen monat sind: Cadent und Buttercup.

es war eine ziemliche herausforderung. ich zeichne cadent sehr gerne, finde es aber immer schwierig zu integrieren. buttercup gefällt mir auch......und jetzt nach dem ersten tile bin ich motiviert für ein nächstes tile mit diesen beiden mustern. aber dieses musste ich mit farbe (caran d'ache retten).

ihr hört es raus,es war nicht meditativ für mich.das gute daran ist dass das verständnis für ungeübte zeichnerinnen sofort aufgefrischt ist. 

diese woche basiert bei mir alles auf herzflächenteiler:14. februar ist valentinstag:-)

Weekly Challenge #203: "UMT - Athitzi by Eleanor Holt"

this week's Use My Tangle challenge is brougth to you by Eleanor Holt - and it is called Athitzi.  You can find the step outs for the tangle HERE

I really enjoyed this tangle. I found it very relaxing, and it's a no-brainer. you don't have to really think about 'steps' you can really zone out. that's what laura harms said and experienced, i would explain it the same way.

the following pictures are out of my sketch-book:

also on the next lile i first made pattern-strings with the pencil.

the finished tile reminds me totally of thailand. my own time there, but also the day when i was in gambia and i heard about the tsunami there (about 8 years ago).

dedicated to this wonderful time in thailand.

EVERY MISFORTUNE IS A BLESSING

RAZ, heisst random acts of zentangle. manchmal hab ich lust ein geschenk und dankeschön an's universum zu kommunizieren, oder katapultieren:-) dann mache ich ein zentangle oder ZIA (=zentangle inspirierte kunst), klebe es an einen ort mit dem wunsch dass jemand es findet, sich darüber freut, und vielleicht auch irgendetwas irgendjemandem schenkt an diesem tag.dieses RAZ hier hab ich heute bei der fachhochschule nordwestschweiz gelassen. ich hatte dieses zendala für den weekly challenge (siehe voriger post) gezeichnet.

Weekly Challenge #202: "DuoTangle: Chebucto vs Copada"
This week's challenge is to create a DuoTangle, which is a tile using ONLY the two tangles given.  This week those two tangles are Chebucto and Copada.   This is the first time that the DuoTangle challenge has NOT been two official Zentangle tangles.  These tangles are by my fellow Saskatonian CZT - Margaret Bremner.  (you can find the step outs for these tangles in the links above)

i was happy about this challenge, patterns i would  probably not become aware of, without the challenge. thank you.

i enjoyed to tangle this zendala, even though it was not my intention at all, that i end up with soooooooo endless many strokes.

Weekly Challenge #201: "Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day 2015"

artoo , one of the 2 boys of laura harms ( the diva who takes care of the weekly challenge), was born with the moebius syndrome. if you like to know more about it click here. and to see what other people contribute to this challenge iamthedivaczt.

last night i had a good tangeling-meditation.......some people are born  to be creative, some to be patient , some to be teachers........but if somebody has a serious physical problem, a great profession or a talent which makes you world-famous, .... allways remember:we don't know where we come from, we don't know where we are going to (at least most of us don't)....so  just be patient and with love, and i would say: don't identify yourself with your problems.

Weekly Challenge #200: "Bi-Zen-Tennial Celebration!"

This week's Challenge is to use your Mac'N'Cheese tangle in a Monotangle.  Or, in other words: create a tile using ONLY your go to, or favourite tangle.  And let's take advantage of the WHOLE tile! No borders! Let's extend from end to end, and fill our tiles BURSTING with Tangly JOY! And finally - put the number 200 (big or small) somewhere on your tile.    

DEAR LAURA,

CONGRATULATIONS.

Weekly Challenge #199: "UMT: Hitch by HeidiSue"

this week's UMT comes to us from HeidiDue and her blog: TanlgeOoh! You can find the step outs for her tangle HERE

i'm so happy that laura brings out and takes care of this challenge. my brain is so busy with deciding things....you know a "TO-DO-LIST" with about 100  (small and bigger) things i like to do....there is nothing we HAVE to do. sometimes i feel like i have to clean, but i do it because i see the "i like to live in a clean place", or i have to call somebody to get an answer. i only have to do things, because it gonna benefit my life,or i want it to benefit somebody elses. there is never only one option, if i'm not fixed on only one solution.so this morning i made the tile for the challenge #199, i had to, because i needed a meditation, which i get when i tangle..... i had to, because i knew it gonna benefit me and my day when my thoughts become more easy.....and that made the day for everybody around me more nice.

THANKS TO ZENTANGLE®

i  tangled on a renaissance-tile:

brown pigma pen 01, black pigma pen 01, white charcoal pencil, normal pencil, brown, orange and green colourpencil and glitter-gelly roll

to all of my blogvisitors

i wish nice things happen to you, in the year

2015

love and miracles

zuerst mal alles gute für's neue jahr. kleine und grosse wunder, für dich, mich, uns.

die muster für diesen  monat sind: ARUKAS by molly hollibaugh

 bei meiner eingabe ist noch eine variation von TAMI (by hanny waldburger) dabei.=  eigentlich der stern von arukas, weswegen ihr ARUKAS vielleicht nicht auf den ersten blick erkennt.

ich poste hier noch ein ZIA (zentangle inspirierte kunst), ich habe diese karte für einen neujahrskartentausch (unter zentangle-lehrerinnen) gezeichnet, hier ist ARUKAS mit DIVADANCE kombiniert, und im hintergrund eines meiner muster: ALABASTRO.
