Kitchen Table Tangles and more

3.5" tiles

It's been awhile since I've been "organized" enough to get back to some of my challenges.  This one (The Diva's Challenge) is a weekly challenge that Laura now says has been going on for 300 weeks.  THAT is a lot of challenges.  She does now and then use a guest challenger on her blog but she still has to plan and organize it.  So she's been committed to this for like forever!  

The first tile is about a new feature that the founders of Zentangle® have started called "Kitchen Table Tangles" where they demonstrate some new technique or idea on a video.  A weaving of Diva Dance and Paradox is the result.  That is this week's challenge...to do our own weaving.  The link will show you the the entire video.  Pour yourself a cup of coffee and plan to relax.  

The second tangle, which should have been posted for last week's challenge, is a tribute to Laura's son.  Laura tells her very emotional story about how Zentangle kept her from falling "off the edge" after the birth of her second son, a premie who was diagnosed with a rare abnormal condition called Moebius Syndrome.  I was able to hear Laura tell about this in person at my own CZT training (CZT 15) in Providence a few years ago.  Each year she asks us to do a challenge using the symbols and colors of the condition.  (Thus I've added a little purple which is color attached to it.)
