Gloria J Zucaro's "Diva #108 WHYZ"

When I saw the Diva's challenge this week, I was confused.  I looked for directions of how to do a tangle called "WHYZ", but couldn't find it even on Tangle Patterns!    

I soon realized that Laura had made her own tangle with "Y's".  Her grandmother died last week and I am imagining that she, as we often do, was asking "why?" It is also a great title because we think of our older family members as being "wise".  

OOPS!  I just discovered I had somehow missed the sentence where it mentioned the creator of this tangle.  It is Jane MacKugler!

So here is my interpretation of Laura's design.  Have a great week, and check the site to see how very imaginative artists can be!

Gloria J Zucaro's "Assunta Mooka"

3.5" Square with Original Ink Design 

This weeks Diva challenge offered by Laura at http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/  is a duo tangle using only the patterns Mooka and Assunta.  I put my "string" in and then did Mooka as my featured tangle. I tried it in several different versions.  I like the larger bulbs on the top ends, so did several of those.  But I also tried them very small at the top and very wide channels at the bottom.    I added Assunta around the edges, and part of Assunta's design inside the Mooka lines. After I finished with Assunta I shaded in some of the bulbs and bases of Mooka and in between the Assunta design.

This went pretty quickly and was a lot of fun.

This was a fun evening with the members of the Hoffman Estates Art League.  We decided to "chill" or "Zen" and all tangle together!  Lots of laughs and "What are you doing?!" when looking at variations of patterns called PURK, PARADOX, CARRES, HOLLIBAUGH, HIBRED, and BUBBLES.  But as usual when you tangle they all came out beautifully!

This is my entry for Jennifer Mclean's  The Artist's Playroom The prompt this week is to do a piece of artwork that is "dark and light".  What could be more dark and light than black and white!

This is challenge #62 from the iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com.  Laura who hosts the Diva site tells us what the challenge will be each Monday.  This weeks challenge came from Certified Zentangle Teacher, Marizaan van Beek, all the way from South Africa! The challenge was to do the tangle Paradox wrapped around a spiral pattern.  Any other patterns used to complete the design were permitted, as long as the spirals were wrapped in the pattern Paradox which is made starting with a square or triangle.  The shapes that develop are so interesting, looking like fans that are twisted and turned in all directions.  After the ink design is complete you shade some areas to give it more dimension. Some of the other patterns used are variations on Jeewels,Vega,Carres,Jetties, Feathers and Beadlines.         Comment Here
