Challenges

Rattling through some challenges today, not doing too much else (laundry, weeding..nothing much! A lot of laundry.). To get going with the Diva's, I started with some zinchies to get some patterns and some brain power going:


Then I felt comfortable going forth with the challenge to use "Fanz." I can't decide which end is up, so I've kept it how I drew it in my journal, but I think it could work any which way.


I kind of like it; I haven't drawn many "traditional" Zentangles lately so I feel out of practice. The string was very twisted up, so I'm surprised there's any semblance of order in it.

Then it was off to the String Thing challenge for the week. I kind of just dove right in, but I turned my string 45 degrees, then ended up turning the whole thing upside-down:


I also added to my zinchie collection by way of some other challenges. The Knyt pattern goes along with EIM. And the quilt patterns go along with It's New to Me. (I'm going to have to sign up for Pinterest just to access Suzi's great pattern boards. Wah!). 
And as promised, I put together a collage for the TwobyTwo:


Have an A-mazing week! Thanks for stopping by!
