The Gift of Zentangle

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #248: "Give the Gift of Zentangle" 

When I first started tangling I often called tiles little gems and now thanks to a fantastic FaceBook group hosted by Eni Oken I have learnt to make gemstones.
You can find Eni's site here Eni Oken.com 

This week we heard the sad news that our lovely friend Sharon Lynne Payne (CZT7) suffered a nasty stroke.

 
This amethyst gemstone tile is my gift of Zentangle to Sharon.
It has been mailed with hugs and love for her quick recovery.
 
 
 
 
The next tiles I wish to gift to three happy tanglers
who leave a comment.

African Artist

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #247: "UMT: African Artist by Tina-Akua Hunziker, CZT"

African artist is a fantastic tangle for that lovely squishy bulgy effect. My intention was to bring out the beautiful African colours but I think it has turned into more of a Christmas design!

Trees

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #246: "Guest Post: Monotangle Trees"

Dilip Patel from India is spreading the word about planting trees and caring for our environment so tangling a tree is our challenge for this week.  
Good one Dilip!!
You can see Dilip's fantastic range of Zentangle art at his blog here where he often shares a thoughtful message through his drawing.


Whew, the wind is blowing this old tree!! 

It is very dry at our place already and summer has just begun. When I drive up the hill to our home this beautiful Eucalyptus comes into view, standing straight and tall at the top of our driveway, it is always a lovely sight especially when the sun is setting.
