Diva Challenge #233: "New Official Tangle - Zenith"

Guess I was a week ahead. I used Zenith in last week's challenge. May include that one in this post also. Do not like to use things that I have posted before. I wanted to do something different with it also. I was lazy and used what I had available so this is on a Renaissance tile. I wanted to try something different. It did not go as well as I planned. I got a little ambitious when I wanted to do two rows of circles instead of leaving it with one. That is where the problem occurred. In keeping with "no mistakes" and my practice of posting the first tile that I do, I pushed ahead. I really could not think of a way to incorporate what was there so I did the next best thing, Bronx Cheer. Even with that, it did not turn out too poorly. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.




Tangles used: Hollibaugh, Zenith, Shattuck, Mooka, & Bronx Cheer.
Shading and highlighting done by layering colored pencils and white Prismacolor pencil.

Have only briefly looked at what others have done. Do not usually get mine done this early in the week so will probably check back through out the week to see what others have posted. Would encourage you to check out the posts at I am the Diva. Try it your self, even if you do not post it. I can tell you that part of the fun of participating is reading the comments that others make on your post. Not everyone comments, but there are a number of people who do.

I mentioned earlier that I might post last week's tile also. Here it is. Saves you the time to go back to an earlier post.



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

Go Tangle !!

  1. Wonderful idea to put Zenith in the round. I had done the tangle last week too and was also ready to push it a bit. Good old Bronx Cheer LOL! What would we do without it?

  3. Donald, I just love how your Zenith looks in a circular motion! And your black tile is gorgeous!! The colors are soon vibrant!
    Just want to say, thank you, for being bold and sending your thoughts on my blog last week. It meant so much to me that you added your input. And I couldn't agree with you more!! The world is pretty mixed up right now!! We can't give in and silence ourselves. Thanks again! Have a great week,... :0) Annette (Ps, there was an awesome broadcast from Bill ORiley about what's going on in our world. It went around on Facebook. Check it out!)

    1. Both your tiles are amazing. Your zenith in the round with mooka on the outside is my favourite

  5. It's very cool how versatile Zenith is! I am so drawn to Shattuck "in the round."

  6. Donald, I love both your tiles! The round design reminds me of an embroidered cloth banner. The little waviness you have in the circle adds to that illusion. What did you use to color the center? Is that gold? It looks really nice. The second tile looks like it is under a blacklight. How did you do that!!? Nice !

    1. In the center is layered colored pencil. I think it is yellow and light brown. I used Moonlight gel pens on the black tile. They have a florescent quality.
