Diva Challenge #126: " Stencil Fun" 2

I had mentioned in my earlier post that I had another string. Was not sure that I was going to get it done. Wouldn't have if I had not forgone the Zendala Dare (sorry Erin). This one is very different from the other one. I used a stencil with all different size circles on it. I only used two different sizes. Here is what I started out with.



Was not anything special. Just made a bunch of circles. Here is what I ended up with when I was done.



This was fun to do but it did take a while figuring out what tangles to use. I did not want to repeat any. I was not completely successful as I did use Ahh in 2 of the circles. As usual, shading was probably one of the more difficult decisions. Tried a couple of different things. Over all I am pleased with the result. 

Thanks for visiting. Keep checking I am the Diva for new submissions.

As always, comments are welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated.

Diva Challenge #126: "Stencil Fun"

This was a good challenge for me. I am doing a class in about a month on Zendalas, specifically different ways to make your own template.  Some day I would like to order one of the zendala template makers but right now I have to go with a little more economical method. I picked up some symmetry stencils at a new store. I was down in Indy doing some cycling on the Monon Trail and found a store close to where I was staying named United Art and Education. Went in to investigate. They had some nice stuff though most of it was geared toward elementary and preschool children. This challenge gave me a chance to experiment. Did not do anything fancy. I really liked what Laura did with the stencils that she used. Here is the stencil string that I came up with.



Nothing fancy, but I was okay with it for a first try. Here is the ZIA that I came up with using this template. I hope you enjoy it.





Tangles used: Scrawlz, Crescent Moon (variation), Betweed, & Mooka

I have not had much time to look at what others have submitted. I only looked at a few. I hope to spend a little more time looking at those and if there is time, If you have not, would strongly recommend that you go to I am the Diva and check things out. I have another stencil string ready to go. It is much different, and simpler. May not get it done in time to post for this challenge but may post it later.
