Have not been able to participate in any of the challenges that I usually do. Decided
that it I was going to do it needed to come up with a way to use one tile for both challenges. The Diva Challenge is to use the tangle Muchin. You could also add the challenge of doing white on black. The Zendala Dare was the usual format of The Bright Owl posting a template and pretty much leaving it up to the person what they wanted to do with it. This did present a challenge as I usually do not change the template a lot. There is nothing that says you cannot change it but I always viewed it as part of the challenge was using the template. Well to complete one tile for both challenges I did not think I could accomplish that with the template that was provided. What I did was a pretty significant change. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.
Tangles used: Munchin, Tipple
Shading done with White Charcoal pencil.
To see the original zendala template, and look at what others did, go to
The Bright Owl. This is the first Zendala Dare that I have done in a while.
To see what people have done with the tangle Munchin, go to
I am the Diva. I would encourage you to try either one of these challenges or if possible both of them. I am hoping to see what is posted in both challenges. I may also get lucky and get to the the focus tangle of the week on Square One.
Thanks for visiting. As always, comments are welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated.
Go Tangle !!
Wow, Donald, this is gorgeous!!! It's delicate and lacy.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I would never have thought of using Munchin as a fill type pattern as you did. The Tipple is the perfect contrast to Munchin, and the result is really striking.
ReplyDeleteI can't improve on the current choice of words for this - it really is GORGEOUS! Very lovely indeed. Axxx
ReplyDeleteThis is superb Donald. It reminds of a beautiful lacy crochet mat my aunties would have used for afternoon tea when we were children
ReplyDeleteomigosh! That is fantastic. I'm so inspired by all of the gorgeous white on black I've seen for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely and lacy looking, Donald. I did both challenges and decided to use Munchin in my Zendala as well. It isn't nearly as pretty as yours!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tile, Donald! I love your clever combination of the two challenges!
ReplyDeleteHey Donald, great to see your name on the challenge lists!!! And I think we can all say that we understand when life gets too busy to tangle!! Bummer as it is, It just Is!!! :0) Anyway, I love what you have done with both challenges. Your Zendala is amazing!! I would have never thought of using Munchin but it looks great!! Hope to see you next week! :0) Annette
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you again Donald. Your tile is very striking and the way you combined the two challenges is great. Hope to see you some more I always enjoy seeing your take on challenges.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful zendala! Wonderful lacy and delicate! Great use of Munchin!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love the way that it turned out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and the fun comment. I kind of thought they were angry townspeople. LOL
ReplyDeleteLike a lace. This is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love how you combined the challenges. I love the combination of Munchin and Onamato (sp?). Bravo!
ReplyDeleteLovely lacy artistic zendala. Very smart to combinate both challenges. Nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Zendala, Donald. I love the way you used Münchin, and Onamato is the perfect counterpoint.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Look like a knitted doily :) A very lovely combination of challenges!
