Diva Challenge #164: "Amanda (Earth) Day"

I was not exactly sure what to do with this week's Diva Challenge. My brain does not tend to work well on these types of challenges. After a little bit of thought I decided what I could do is finish the Organic Garden, ala Meredith Yuhas, that I had started. Was not sure if I was going to get it done or not. I had fun doing this. Still working on the highlighting and shading on the gray paper. Am pleased with the way that this turned out. I hope that you enjoy it.




Tangles used: Sanibelle, Dragonair, Mooka, Flux, Antidot, Poke Root, Poke Leaf, Scroll feather, Ahh, 'Nzeppel, Msst, Featherfall, Wist, Chainlea, Zinger, Angel Fish, & Fescu. 
  
I think I got the names of all the tangles that I used.

The highlighting and shading was done with a white chalk pencil, Prismacolor white wax pencil, and HB graphite pencil



I have to admit that I did sneak a peak at a couple of entries this week before I was finished with mine. Do not think that I was influenced by them. I hope to get a look at all the rest of the entries over the next several days. If you have not all ready done so would strongly recommend that you visit The Diva's blog and look at the other great posts.  

Thanks for visiting. As always comments are welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated.

Go Tangle !!

      I think the one you are referring to is called "Wist". It is a tangle developed by Shelly Beauch. She has a page that shows the tangles/patterns that she has developed and you cn find the step out for it there.

    I think you got the essence of Earth Day in your ZIA with all those "earthy" tangles. Very nice.

    Just now, I wish I could sit in your nice tangled Organic Garden to get away from sorrows.
    Very nicely done and I like your work with the white pen.

    I'm not very good at thinking outside the box so my tangle had to have the earth in it, whereas I love this more imaginative interpretation. Linda x
