Today got off to an interesting start. I drive a Mini Cooper S and I took it to the Mini dealership to get serviced. I was given a courtesy car to drive. I was expecting something old, cheap, functional to drive. Instead the courtesy car was a BMW.
For those not into cars, the courtesy car would be worth much, much more than my Mini to buy new. It was a nice car to drive, even just for the morning.
Diva #338 - white on black
White on black is about my least favourite combination for drawing. I tried though, using a black art journal that I have barely ever used. Here are my tiles.

Frunky is a tangle I like to use but forget that it exists unless prompted in a challenge.

I've been playing around with a new set of water colour pencils, trying to get a 3D effect from colour blending. I used a variation of Mooka for my shapes.
Have a great week and thanks for dropping by.

No blogging for me last week but lots of drawing.
The no blogging was because I spent a couple of days last week in Adelaide (a city over 1,000km away from my home) presenting at a conference. The conference was about how teachers use ICT and I was there to show people how to use a particular application.
This was the first time I'd ever presented at a conference before, of any type. It was a huge honour to be asked and a massive experience for me to actually do it. It also represents a new direction for me in teaching. These days I'm becoming good at teaching teachers how to use computers. This is not a direction I would ever have expected or thought possible. Very interesting times ahead for me.
So, no time to post but I have been drawing.

I liked Laura's triangular tile this week but don't like using them myself - I'd rather go big than small. However, I did use the triangle as a string. Here's my tile. It's on a renaissance tile as I'm running low on normal tiles - my next order should be here soon.
Made by Joey this week
This week's challenge was to use a 3D cube as a string as well as Betweed. Not sure that I like my result but here it is anyway.

This is final week of the Tangle Mosaic challenge. Patience was something I struggled with in this challenge. Happy with the end result though.

I've been following Eni Oken for some time and have downloaded some of her lessons. This week I played around with her Tangled Ropes lesson. This was lots of fun. Here are some examples.

My intention of adding to this every day was not realistic. That's OK. I do use it a couple of times a week. I find it good for focussing on the Zen of Zentangle - the process and the focus and the relaxation. Here's something I did last week. Dinner got delayed that night.
Have a great week and thanks for dropping by.

This is a new tangle for me. I added Bunzo and Dicso to it after reading blog posts about #inktober. I've printed the list of #inktober tangles as a reminder to use a greater variety of tangles in my every day drawing.
Here's my tile.

I don't get to these every week. Today I've done two week's worth. Here they are.
Then all together. Only one more week and one more tile to go.
Other drawing
I often browse the Zentangle App when I'm waiting in doctor's surgeries or waiting for a plane. Recently a tile from Shelly Beauch came up. I admire the way Shelly seamlessly combines tangles. There is so much to learn by studying her work. I used the lastest tile from Shelly as my inspiration/ model for this tile. My tile is on A5 paper.
Art Journal
My Art Journal is new. I'm trying to add to it regularly. Here are two recent additions. The second celebrates my 23rd wedding anniversary. Twenty three years and still going strong.
Have a great week and thanks for dropping by.
