Thoughts about non dominant tangling

And ..... again this year the most difficult (and hated) challenge that I can think of: Tangling with your non-dominant hand (for me the left one).

Some people can do things with that hand, but I'm not one of them. I am totally right-handed.

I was thinking of skipping this challenge, but did it anyway.

Tried to do what I read some people do: appreciating the right hand more and then I started thinking about the way my husband writes. He has (light) Cerebral Palsy (also called spastic) and writing is very, very hard for him. Maybe almost impossible.

So, what am I whining about?????

After that I created my tile, still disliking tangling this way, but appreciating what I can do much more.

Wobbly of course, but made with gratitude!

Dewd

Already Friday, a bit late for me to post the challenge tile. My husband was away to UK for a week, visiting his children and grandchildren, so I had all the time in the world. And ..... I did less (tangling anyway) then usual.

Yesterday he came home safely and in the evening I did my Diva tile.

'Dewd' is the tangle to use in this challenge.

I think I used it before, but that must has been a long time ago. It's a nice tangle, but hard to combine with others.

This time I used a white pen on this blueish paper and I think the result is not too bad.

A mistake

Onion Drops is one of the tangles for Inktober and Laura uses this for her challenge this week.

A nice and easy to draw tangle, but ......... I started on the wrong place on my tile. Wanted to put it in the bin, hesitated and decided to go on like I always do with the challenges.

If there are no mistakes is Zentangle, then I have to go on and see what I can make of it.

Well, nothing really nice, but .... as I wrote above.....

Mezzanine on blue

Again the first Monday of a month, so in Diva terms that means 'UMT'-day.

This time we are supposed to use Mezzanine by HeidiSue. I think this is a very elegant and easy to draw tangle and I liked working with it. My only (small) problem is, how to combine it with other tangles.

For the first since a long time, I used a blue tile; paper I bought a while ago and love. So I used a white pen and after drawing the two Mezzaninnes I decided there was no need for more on this tile. A bit of a frame and that was it.

ORBS, orbs and orbs

First I like to say, that I'm so sorry for Laura and her boys, that the new (school)year starts with a lot of illness. Hope they recover soon!!!

And then: ORBS, the base for our new challenge. Love this one, love it a lot.

Since I saw the last post of Laura I had in mind what I was going to do with it and last night I sat down and tangled, tangled and tangled a bit more. Had a real nice time tangling, soooooo relaxing to do this.

As you see, I used a pre colored tile (the colors are much brighter in real life) and made a mono tangle with just some aura's. I like the result; nothing special, but just nice to look at.

The next tile is one I did after the first week of Laura’s return:

And some weeks before that:

Lines, lines and more lines

Straight lines are always calming The Diva and after a very stressful week, that gave her the idea for challenge 368.

I'm not sure my tile meets the 'lines only', because maybe Knightsbridge is a bit different. This is what it became however:

Two tangles I love

And again a challenge. Only now I find out how much I missed this weekly event. I didn't tangle much in the last months and since last week I'm back to it. So again: Thank you Laura!!!

The subject for challenge 366 is to use NZeppel or Crazy NZeppel. I chose the last one because I like that the most.

Took a yellow colored tile to keep the color of the summer a bit longer.

I did like this challenge and had some zen time last night.

The next tile is one I did last Sunday (I love this Hexonu tangle):

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you leave me a comment; I do appreciate that a lot. Work created by fellow tanglers can be seen at 'I am the diva'.

Blessed be!
