"Creativity takes Courage" Henri Matisse
I feel like I need to welcome myself back! It's been months since my last post and I have really missed the writing process! Let me take a minute and catch you all up! I have been absorbed both with the #the100dayproject and with things at home. School is out and extra time and effort... Continue Reading →

I'm so glad to have the Diva's challenges back! In her 368th challenge, Laura Harms has challenged us to use only straight lines in our tiles this week. Although straight is tough for me, I threw in some MicroTangling (from the lesson of the same name by Eni Oken), Baton, and some Shattuck with a... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! Welcome back to The Tireless Tangler! The last 2 weeks have been crazy busy with school starting and preparations for my trip to CZT32. My little one has managed to get through the last week with no problems, so (deep breath) I hope things will even out now (knock on wood!). Almost by... Continue Reading →
The Diva Challenge this week took an interesting turn when I applied Eni Oken's Tangle Enhancers Card Game. The Diva, Laura Harms, challenged us this week to "Use My Tangle" with her pattern "Somnee". Somnee is a similar pattern to Zentangle's "Hollibaugh" and I needed some inspiration to dress it up a bit. I used... Continue Reading →

Today's Diva Challenge, issued by CZT, Laura Harms, was to use a "Duotangle" consisting of the tangles "Tripoli", and "Shattuck". I use both of these a lot, so I applied myself using one of my "tan treasure tiles" made with Eni Oken's parchment paper technique on a Zentangle ® Renaissance tile. It was perfect until...

Adele Bruno (Tickledtotangle.blogspot.com), has issued her "it's a string thing" challenge for this week and featured her new Tangle, "Mack". The new grid-based pattern is fun to play with and has lots of embellishment possibilities. Needless to say, I had to do 2 tiles! Congratulations, Adele, on a wonderful new Tangle!
This week's challenge from CZT, Laura Harms, was to use our fingers as a guide for the string. You can join in at the Diva's website, iamthedivaczt.com. I actually thought this was going to be an easy challenge but for some strange reason, I couldn't find just the "right" tangles. I drew the string 3... Continue Reading →
