Breaking Free on Artful Wednesday

Welcome back to another Artful Wednesday post! This week's Diva Challenge #86 is called Breaking Free. The challenge was to let loose and break past the normal Zentangle border that defines a typical tile. So I let the Pokeleaf flourish and the Hollibaugh ramble:
 
String #9, also Huggins, Barberpole, and Lampions
I posted this pic the other day on my Life in the Trenches blog, but thought most of the folks who look at this blog don't see that one, so here is my first shot at a Dangle:

Idea Journal page
And this little nametag was just done for fun after seeing one on a new favorite blog, Elvie Studio. She (Lori) hosts online lettering courses that I'd like to try after (AFTER!! How long have I been saying that now....augh!!!) the MOVE....just breathe....just breathe....so almost there....


That's all I have this week. Back to packing and cleaning. The moving guys are stopping by tomorrow for an estimate of how much it'll cost to get everything from here to there....getting closer!! Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great rest of the week!

    Wow Dawn, Your pieces look absolutely gorgeous. Your break free, has again a beautiful use of collor and just the right tangles. Whats a Dangle? looks cool to mee, but I havn't heard of it. Think I have to surf about that see if its a challenge for me too.
