Challenge #198

Keep it simple, silly!
Is the last Challenge of 2014
I did some variations of the very simple tangle "Hurry"
and found out that it's not as simple as it sounds to simplify a tangle.


I love this tangle, you can draw it on almost every ZIA and you can make so many variations with the basis of Hurry.

Challenge #181 and bookbinding

Last week I made a book with a coptic binding for Tangling in it.
I used drawing paper, grey boodbinders linnen, and sew it with orange waxed linnen threat.

Challenge #180

Het is de eerste challenge van de maand en dat betekend UMT (use my tangle) tijd.
Deze maand is dat de tangle MacDee van Anneke van Dam.
Leuke tangle die me naast de schotse ruit ook doet denken aan een theedoek.
Ik heb er dan ook een theedoek-achtige tekening van gemaakt.

It's the first challenge of the month and so it's UMT time.
This month the tangle MacDee by Anneke van Dam.
A lovely tangle that also reminds me of a tea towel so I made a tea towel ZT.

Challenge # 179

The founders of Zentangle introduced a new size of tile.
They named it "Bijou" They are 2"X 2" (5 X 5 cm.)
The challenge this week is to work on a "Bijou"tile or make something small. (be like Bijou)

Some time ago I made a necklace with a small wooden piece (5 X 5 cm), painted it white and tangled it.
I finished it with a leather cord and some beads.

For the challenge I made a small ZIA and glued it on a match box.

We do have a guest tangler again this week for the challenge.
Its Caroline Broady, and she introduces a new tangle named Truffle.
You can find how to do it here
Here's what I did with it.


I also made a ZIA in size A3

For the small things in de open spaces I made a card with the different patterns.
I hope it will be useful for all of my tangle friends.

Happy tangling !
