tribute to a  passed away online friend... my best paper mache friend known as Jonty...rest in peace dear friend...

challange nr.10 and 11

last night i recovered the missing diva's challange nr 10.called "the space between",didn't excelled to leave too much space though,lol but i'm not complaining about the result,quite like it.
used Sandra's "woggle" pattern over the empty (still shaded)spaces,a very beautiful celtic knot type pattern i like v much,aslo "sparks",Jane Monks "scrumble","crescent moon","florz"(i think) and i can't name the rest.

and here it comes challange nr 11 "monotangle",that was fun,lol...how i chosen from Sandra's 1056 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!tangle pattern list,lol....i was telling the "abc" in my thoughts and put my son to stop me..i reached letter "F".there were 79 tangels beginning with letter "F".so this time i just told him to choose a number between 1 and 79.his choise was 15,meaning Fenêtre -- Amaryllis Creations /Genevieve Crabe .so i googled the link and i meet Genevieve's tangle...what a relief,now i could go further.made my string and filled up with her tangle.at the end looked like a pregnant woman to me so i couldn't resist to put her "endings".thank's Genevieve,it was for sure unexpected fun...

all the bests friends,
ildi

challange nr.9 "artoo"

finally i made it...i just reinstalled xp on my pc but still not going v well,i think it has a hidden problem i cannot fix ...Laura created a v beautiful tangle pattern for her nr 9 challange called "artoo," same as her little sons online name.i made two tiles just because the first one made me smile.i mean with such a beautiful and delicate tangle i still managed to make it hairy,stinging,quite scarry,lol.so i took another chance to make it proper...here there are...i must admit that the main inspiration for the second one were Phines amazing dynamic tiles...it is also my first "open" zt ...loosened my bonds,lol
and many thanks for your refferences at last weeks.i really appreciate it and i've already tried the easiest...you'll see in my next atc's.just now i'm working on three tradings :)...completely virused with the atc bug...

"HEART" challange

i just loved these weeks theme.a "heart" zt with our heart for little Artoo who has been so ill...and i loved to see healhing hearts flying to Canada along with your best thoughts.here's my late contribution.
used orbs + blind string to form a heart shape.
still will google about how to make a transparent orb and hopfully will learn how to pencil shade it correctly.i thought maybe someone of you would take charge and show me the way but i know it is too much what i'm asking.still if you have a good link for me please just write to me.thanks in advance :)

all the bests for all of you with my whole heart :)

challange nr.7 "BREATH"

...Wednesday i had an awful day.my little one was ill,40C fever combined with diarrhea.he was grumpy and hang on me like a fruit all day.untill the doctor came i made everything possible to reduce fever but it only came down to 38 than raised again.i wiped his legs,arms with a dump towel and tried to reduce the pain with constant massages...things weren't going better midnight so i used the prescribed antibiotic and waited the results...he responded positivly and the fever decreased slowly up to a normaler (37.7)value.

at this point it was already 2 after midnight and i took the pen and paper to relax.i really needed that.made my strings and looked at it with empty,tired eyes,totally uninspired.but i still wanted the relax.closed my eye and waited untill a known or unknow pattern will pop in naturally.took a deep breath and something happened.i saw a pattern which became the "leit motif" of my tile...every time i felt like i don't know how to continue i just closed my eye and breath.i didn't tried to personalize breath thorugh patterns i just breath and relax myself....yet what i couldn't make it was to smile.
the first picture below is the original,untouched version,made that night,at poor lighting.
the next day when my baby was much better i just added a bit of deep to the tile while today edited (gradually tinted by pc),printed and added highlights with the white gel roll pen.
this is the story of my breath.relax.smile tile...
wish you all the bests..

.
bw i just love sandra's "Pindo" and Margaret's "Diamond Panes".the rest is my minds turmix,lol...
there are four words hidden in the zt ,have you found them?...good luck then ;)

"i've played my cards" zt

i just finsihed this zt and i quite like it.yet talk to you in the morning...is more light then,lol...

this is a bw drawing (see below)but i changed color when editing.i played with the tinting option also added a light grained texture.i think my fav is the first picture...used Margaret Bremner's "Diamond Panes" and "Box Spirals".

~two more zentangles~

playing the "string" is fun...it is always interesting the outcome.yesterday i made this two tiles and guess what,i want the first one colored.it is quite inviting me.i will do it when my little one takes his afternoon nap...

the second tile is a bit different .named it "broken bike and stuffs"...i didn't used any of the knowed (by me ) tangle patterns...only stuff that popped in my mind,jointed with the basic"string".i like those little bumps..they are all over...not very confortable when riding a bike though.i think it is a masculine zentangle. ... ;)...

colored "eye"

made a copy of the bw and played with colors.

color makes the difference...love coloring...enjoy

"get well" zentangle for Sandy

yesterday i was drawing a zentangle when i remebered Sandra's post about Sandy Bartholomew's eye surgery.she is the author of "Totally Tangled" and the soon to-be-released "Yoga for the Brain" .her friends had a kind idea to ask the peoples to send her an eye-shaped zentangle to cheer her recovery. it was a great opportunity to play with this eye zentangle.loved to draw the eye (there's about 14 in the tile ,lol ) which cried the tears of happyness,sadness,when hurt,moved,nervous,surprised,overwhelmed... hope she is much better now ... here i am sending her the "eye"zentangle...(i will try to send it by the post only that i'm like a bear now,i go out very seldom.it is so good to stay warm in your cave :) )

Ixorus

fruitful yesterday.
a zen mandala and one zentangel tile as my response to Laura's challange called "Ixorus".
this week i wanted to stay untouched by the charm of your tiles and promise myself not to peak at anyone's ixorus before i draw mine but i just couln't walk away playing the "blind".this is about my "resistence".same to sweets...but i only saw 3 tiles and commented 3 times.it is forgivable isn't it?

not quite beautiful...

or should i say ugly,hairy .but it is my brains child also.so i take care of it. still hanging on orbs,lol...enjoy or run away!here it comes -the Spiders kingdome-

Laura Harm's weekly challange no. 5

my response to Laura's weekly challange called "orbs".
first i made a tile,took a soft brush and splashed some black ink stains on the paper and dried brush the whole tile.i wanted to start somewhere as my muse left me.i think i was intimidated by your gorgeous tiles and waited for a spark.
so after the big splash i had no more doubts and "fears"lol and everything came out just naturaly.
i was awoken by my husband saying that i should quit making circles and prepare something to feed our tummys,lol.this is what it came out.it is quite different approaching from what i usually do but it will do it.:)

thank you for your visit !(i may put a better picture tomorrow...)
