The Diva's challenge this week is to try out a new tangle from Zentangle's Molly Hollibaugh, Arukas. Did you notice that Arukas is Sakura ba...

Arukas (Zentangle) is one of those patterns I have a love/hate relationship. I love the way that it looks, but it I really don't like shading it, because it forms a sort of flat weave.

I continue to play with Wrapped Frames in my daily meditation. This one with Arukas (Zentangle), a tremendous result which I'm really happy with.

I've been playing with the relatively new tangle Arukas and wanted to explore possibilities. Arukas went to town! Unfamiliar with Arukas? ...

This week's challenge #197 is to use Arukas in your tile.  It was a new pattern for me, so first some practice.  I could go for it quietly o...

This weeks Diva Challenge is to create a Tile using only two patterns. This is a Duo-Tangle Challenge. The two patterns are Chebucto and Copada. Both of these patterns are designed by Margaret Bremner, CZT.  The Chebucto pattern has the red sections in my Tile. The Copada pattern has the wishbone stucture. Both of these patterns are brand new to me. The Copada pattern was a breeze to learn. It just flows. The Chebucto was more difficult for me. I found that I needed to create a new step-out that I could use. Once I got my ducks in a row, it was Tile Time. I really got into the Zen mode this week. Once this tile was started, there was no stopping. I could not believe that three hours had passed. It doesn't look like it should take that long. This was a great Challenge. Thanks, Diva Laura, and Margaret Bremner. Patterns: 1- Chebucto-Margaret Bremner 2-Copada-Margaret Bremner Pens: Sigura Pigma Micron, .01: black, red.

Even after Inktober, couldn't resist this. Art Clubbers and I had fun playing with Dinovel in a “carnivore plant” version during Inktober. Combined here with Arukas and a wrapped frame.
