Impossible

After an intense and tiresome day last Monday (a training, very worth while, about values and norms as subject), I came home and was really looking forward to do the challenge. I looked at it and liked the new tangle Eaxy. Liked it a lot.

So I started and .... I just couldn't do it. Tried several times, got irritated and started my tile. I just couldn't do it!!!

I may try again, but not soon.

I decided to skip this week's challenge, but today decided different. Not being childish, just show you what I did in my frustration. The result speaks for itself!

Happy Halloween

Halloween, not very much about that in the Netherlands, but a bit more every year I think.

Just some stuff in the shops, but not children going from house to house to ask for candy.

I liked the idea of using a black zendala tile, like Laura did and remembered that I had some that I won some time ago by giving a comment on Rick and Maria's blog.

It has been a long time ago that I tangled on black and I liked doing that ... a lot.

A new friend?

Quite a while ago, making a duo-tangle and that's what Laura brings us in Challenge 290 this week.

NZeppel vs Flux it is!

Nzeppel has never been a friend of mine, but at least I can draw it now without to many mistakes (OK, I hear what you say about mistakes in Zentangle).

I think my Nzeppel is a bit too small as background for Flux and makes the tile too full, but it is what it is. Not too bad I think :-)

Last week I did a tile for a challenge of Arja de Lange, a Dutch CZT. This is the result:

I'm back

Last week was the first time since I started doing the challenges, I think since number 65, that I didn’t join.

I did plan to do it on Monday evening, but then the new challenge came on Tuesday and my plans changed. That night and also Thursday and Saturday I had to attend some training and on Friday I went to Eindhoven (a city in the south of the Netherlands) to tangle with a group of women; they do that every six months and this was my first time.

In the evenings I was quite tired and just sat in my chair watching a bit of television.

Well, anyway, I'm back now and joining the new challenge Laura gave us.

I took a tile I kept from last year, already colored In real life the color is much darker and more goldish) and with the shape of a leaf on it.

I used a brown pen and some green pastel pencil for shading.

I think it has a good autumn feeling.

A dreamcatcher

As always at the beginning of a new moth (I can't believe it is already autumn) the challenge brings us an UMT; this time Dreamcatcher by Daniel Lamothe. A great tangle, easy to draw and lovely to see.

I took a tile of my stack pre colored ones and started with Dreamcatcher (of course :-). After that I just did what came to mind.

This Dreamcatcher is a tangle I will probably use more often. Thanks Daniel!!!

Straight to it!?

'Straight to it' is the challenge for this week. I had to read Laura's post before I understood what she meant by that title. A tile only filled with straight lines it is.

A challenge I like, especially because I normally use curved and straight lines and doing just straight is a bit hard.

I do like the result though.

Last week I did not comment many entries (I always try to comment all), because we went to the south of the Netherlands for a few days. We went to a small town called Thorn, the white town it is called. A lovely town! Just to give you an impression:

'Relax, Bro'!!!!

'Relax, Bro' is Laura's advice (and challenge) this week.

I sat down with my headphone on, listening to shaman drums. Then started with four dots in the corners of my blank tile, connected them with a line and then a string. I realized that it was quite a while ago that I did a string (sorry, on the photo it is a bit hard to see).

And then I started with Paradox, just because that corner was asking for it. I tried to concentrate on each line and not thinking of the next tangle I would use. When a part was finished, I just looked at it and then decided what tangle came into my mind. Not the very difficult, but just my comfort ones.

I like the result of this 'basic' tile.
