Monodala and Kunstler

Posting on a Saturday...why not? I slept until 5:30, which never happens and Bug actually came and kicked me out of bed. He was worried I wasn't feeling well since I was still in bed. No, fine. Just snuggying with Sweet Pea. Alas, he was having none of that. So up I was and it was just as well, I got to watch a quick thunderstorm pass through. I love listening to the rain, wind, and thunder.
 
 
So, I'm a little ahead of the game this week and actually finished the Bright Owl's Zendala Dare #22 last night. Erin declared this first Friday of the month dare to be a monotangle zendala (hence Monodala) so that really simplified things as I didn't have to fret over what tangles would look good with other tangles (seriously messes with my OCD...) I did an 'Nzeppel version of Ixorus, sort of...I guess it's more my twist on it. Then color, color, color--this was done with Prismacolor colored pencils--sweetness.
 
 
 And last week's Diva Challenge had us working with a tangle created by CZT Margaret Bremmer, so I was bebopping around her website, the Enthusiastic Artist, and I discovered another new pattern of hers that I instantly fell in love with, Kunstler, and this is the little Zia I did-which also shows the 'Nzeppel Ixorus version in the middle box. (string #8) I want to color the spiral centers red or something...Hubby thinks I should make them eyeballs--next time...next time, 'cuz I'll be playing with this one a lot!

 
 
So, I suppose I should go find some breakfast and get a little run in before the day gets under way. Have a fantastic weekend--looks like ours will be indoors since rain, rain, and more rain is the local forecast for the day! Thanks for stopping by!

    I am impressed with your artistic talent, but I still having a difficult time seeing the naked people. Are they behind the trees?

  6. Dawn, love the colors you used. The blue and the green are really matching perfect in your design. Your second one is great. Love the 3D effect en the depth you created with those little tornado's.

  8. Both very nice, but the second one is the best (for me). I also saw it at Margarets site and fell in love with it. I made a tile with eyes in it and it's great.
    I went to the website where Margaret found this tangle and I think there is a lot to learn there!
