Diva Challenge #230: "Let's all be ZenDivaDala - Guest Blogger The Bright Owl, Erin Olson, CZT

This week I did not have to make a choice between doing the Diva Challenge or the Zendala Dare as the guest Blogger is Erin Olson, the CZT that does the Zendala Dare. Since she has returned she has definitely come up with some unique templates. This week is no exception. I am not sure about this one. I usually use tangles to complete the different sections. While I used some, or variations of some it is mostly line work. That is different for me. I have seen some people that can do this with really stellar results. Mine are not in that category but it is okay. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.



Tangles, or variations used: Betweed, Scena, Verve, Munchin
Shading done with 2B pencil.
Lately have been spending more time trying to get my inventory back up. That is one reason that I have not had as much time to participate, or even respond to recent challenges. It also a reason why my blogs have been pretty simple and maybe a little terse. Hopefully things will slow down a little soon. I have not looked at what others have posted. I am sure that there are a lot of interesting creations. If you have not checked them out all ready would encourage you to go to I am the Diva to do so.

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

Go Tangle !!

    I agree with Annette, the combination of line patterns makes for a very fluid finished tile, full of movement. I like it a lot.

    I really like the variety of line tangles balanced with the openness of betweed. Nicely done!

    Your line work gives your Zendala a lot of movement. I feel like all I need is a stick and I could use it as a pinwheel.

    Donald, this has a great deal of movement and dimension. Really nice! I know this is not your typical style, so it was a true challenge for you, I'm sure. I think that's what we all need sometimes - to do what we don't do! Hope your schedule evens out and we can see more of your wonderful work and informative posts. Thank you!
