Aura's and more aura's

Last Saturday Laura had her birthday and because of that, all challenges in May will be favorite challenges of hers.

This week the theme is 'Laura's aura's'.

I always use aura's a lot because I like how they make tangles look. So for this challenge I only used more aura's then usual.

The next tile is made over the weeks in our hospice:

Somnee and a zendala

A new month and that means an UMT in Diva language!

And one of Laura herself: Somnee. I used this tangle before, but that's a long time ago. It's easy to use and so it's quite relaxing.

I used a tile cut of Elefantenhaut and tangled in black and (finally used my new set of) white Sakura pens. Shading was done with a white pencil.

I have been working on a zendala for some time. It was just there to go on whenever I felt like it. The tile is 15 x 15 cm and colored with the Eco Dye method. Even saying so myself, I like it a lot :-) The only thing I regret is that I added Cadent in the end; I should have left those spots open.

Amanda on cardboard

'Amanda' day, again this year. For the 7th time!!!

I really thought not to join this time, because I was afraid that it would be more of the same.

But then there was a parcel in the mail (I ordered a book) and I saw the logo, a bright blue circle and that made me pick my scissors and cut out a tile.

That blue (part of the) circle reminded me of the sky and around it I used tangle 'golven', that word is Dutch for waves.

Finally I grabbed a brown pen, because that represents the earth. A simple tile, but I think it does represent the subject.

This tile was a bit hard to tangle on, because it is corrugated cardboard.

Shattuck vs Tripoli

A duotangle this week and Shattuck vs Tripoli are the lucky ones.

For as long as I tangle (2011) I love Shattuck and use it all the time, but I never use Tripoli for the simple reason that I cannot master it.

So yesterday evening I tried again and a miracle happened: I can draw it now!!! So relieved, such a joy :-)

I found the combination of the two tangles a bit hard and my tile became some dull, but after giving it some contrast with blue, white and black I think it's much better.

The next tile I made for a guest in our hospice; I did not get a change to give it to her, so I thought to show it here as a tribute to a very special lady I met.

Finger Stringer

Challenge 359 is a String Theory and we are asked to trace our fingers.

I took a tile of blue paper that is not all even, so a bit harder to tangle on, but I like it a lot. This was a nice and quite relaxing challenge and this is what I did:

Paradox and 70

Since I was 40 I never really celebrated my birthday, just my children and my best friend came to visit.

Last Sunday it was my 70th birthday and I did celebrate, in fact because my daughter convinced me to do so, telling me that it really is a reason to celebrate because lots of people don't make it to that age and I think she is right. That I still don't like this ageing thing, is a different matter. You, tanglers of about this age, how do you feel about getter old(er)?

So, I invited some friends and ordered catering for an Indonesian buffet, which was fantastic:

I'm glad I did this, because it was a good and warm evening.

Up to the challenge.

I love Paradox, so I loved this week's challenge to use it in a monotangle.

Loved every minute of working on my tile last night. Even love the result!

My name

This was a very busy week, so I only worked on the Challenge of this week yesterday night.

I started late (to be honest, I had plenty on time earlier, but I was just hanging in my chair in front of the TV), about 22:30.

So, I took a 3Z tile and started with the letters of my name. Some tangles around it and ... just a bit after 23:00 I finished it.

Not much more to say about it, so here it is:
