<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This past week I created a Zentangle tile on a scratchboard tile. I drew Paradox, Cadent, and Msst. I purchased these 5" x 5" scratchboard tiles at Hobby Lobby. I look forward to creating more Zentangle tiles in the future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had my first Zentangle Play Date yesterday with my friend, Cheryl. I introduced her to Zentangle. I posted the tiles we made above -- hers is on the left, mine on the right. She did an excellent job!! I had a great time and look forward to the next Zentangle Play Date!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I created a monotangle tile drawing Keeko using a white Gelly Roll 08 pen on a black tile. I used negative space to indicate an aum symbol in the center of the tile.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am still having difficulties with the white Gelly Roll pens. For some reason, they keep skipping and missing, then blob out all at once. I started getting frustrated with this pattern, hence the look that a 5 year-old drew it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I spent 4 days last week with 3 of my girlfriends in a cabin in the woods on the coast of the Blue River in southeastern Oklahoma. We left home with summer weather and returned with autumn weather which is way overdue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was a wonderful trip. We rested, ate, drank, talked, read, and took it easy. We sat outside for long periods of time by a campfire that continuously burned.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The sky at night was gorgeous. It looked like a black blanket with sparkling diamonds accenting it. Even though I live rural, I did not realize how much light pollution I had at home. The night sky was outstanding!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I took a break from reading, I drew the above Zentangle inspired art composed of Paradox, Squid, Tipple, and Isochor. I used black Sharpie pens with medium and fine points and a black Micron 01 pen. As you can see, I still have a way to go on proper shading. It is always a work in progress. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This week's Diva Challenge is to create a tile using any Zentangle patterns that are made of straight lines. I created two tiles to share.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Diva Challenge this week is to draw a thread with circles and then fill it with tangles.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is my first attempt at drawing the "B'dylan" pattern. I drew it on a white tile using a black fine point Sharpie, gold Pentel Slicci .8mm, and miscellaneous Gelly Roll pens. It was a fun pattern. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Immediately when I read this on Monday, I started out and created a tile using peace as a theme. Here is what it looks like:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I was not real pleased with it
and held off posting it hoping I would create a new one. Well, I do not
think it will happen before the end of the challenge so I decided to go ahead
and post this one.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I used a black Sharpie medium
point pen and a black Micron 01 pen to draw Crescent Moon and Bambooz patterns.

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I messed up on the peace sign and
intended to draw it larger but tried to salvage it with the Bambooz accents.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Diva Challenge for this week is to show your country's colors by creating a tile inspired by the country where you live. Well, I live in the good ole' USA, so I used red, white, and blue. I drew Squid and Tipple. Here is what it looks like:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Diva's Challenge this week is "to go back into your stash and find a tile that you could spruce up or remix and give it a shiny fresh coat of Pigma Micron!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I looked back into my stash and came up with a bookmark (hence the hole in the upper left where I had a ribbon) I originally made on July 6, 2015. I used a fine point Sharpie to draw Tipple in the four corners and Tizzy in the middle. Here is what it looked like:</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After I added some larger Tipple and enhanced the Tizzy with a medium point Sharpie, I added Florz with a fine point Sharpie and a Micron 01 to the background. Here is the final product:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week's challenge was to create a </span>Zentangle<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> tile with
the standard black and white and add some red to it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This past week I ran across a favorite quote (also known as
"Indra's Net"). It reads as follows:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 1.5in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"There is an endless net of threads
throughout the universe. The horizontal threads are in space. The vertical
threads are in time. At every crossing of the threads, there is an individual,
and every individual is a crystal bead. And every crystal bead reflects not
only the light from every other crystal in the net, but also every other
reflection throughout the entire universe."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 1.5in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Throughout the week, this quote has been on my mind - how the actions of each person affects the other and how what one person sets in motion affects everything. I decided to create a Zentangle tile version
of it using Florz. Here is what it looks
like:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week's Diva Challenge is to use "Crux" in a challenge I used "Crux" in the background along with "Tore-Up" and "Zonked." This was a first time for me to draw all three of these patterns. I used fine-point and medium-point Sharpies. I was not real pleased with the way the shading turned out, but finally had to call it quits. I added and took away and added and took away, and then it started to be a real mess. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a round tile (actually a coaster) from some I had purchased a couple of months ago. The surface is not as smooth as I would like and they do suck up the ink like crazy, but otherwise, they work well. Well, I got a little carried away with drawing the grid and made the squares too small, so it took forever to fill them in with the pattern. I decided to use Hypnotic which, because I had to use it so many times, and in so small of spaces, was rough on my eyes. By the time I was finished, I felt as though I could hardly focus them. It was fun though and it did go rather quickly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The Diva Challenge" this week is to use a tangle as the string and then draw tangles within the tangle. I decided to use one of the new round tiles I ordered a few weeks ago but had not used yet. I also used my regular Sharpie black pen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the monthly "Zentangle" newsletter I received this past week, a new Zentangle pattern was introduced called "Molygon." New challenge, new pattern, new tile -- I could not resist. Above is a photograph of the result of Molygon with Crescent Moon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started out today's tile with a black Sharpie fine point pen. The two round figures began as Jetties and morphed into Purk and Onomato/Paradox. I also drew Knase, Tipple, and Florz. This tile really took on a life of its own.</span></div>
