This week’s Diva Challenge is brought to us by Elisa Murphy, CZT, to use the pattern ‘Nzepple. I’ve used Printemps along with ‘Nzepple on my tile. I also added a couple “little friends” …. we’re having major issues with birds at our house by… Continue Reading “Challenge #326 … ‘Nzepple”
Challenge #318 … Diptych
“Diptych … A diptych is two panels joined with a hinge – and the panels are mirrored …” copied from the Diva’s blog. That is our challenge this week! I posted one of these a couple months ago and hadn’t created one since so this… Continue Reading “Challenge #318 … Diptych”
Challenge #317 … Photo Tangles
This week’s Diva Challenge is to use a photograph or picture as your string …. put the photo down on your tile and then tangle around it. Sounds like a fun idea. I used a photograph of my niece’s dog, Skout, as my inspiration.… Continue Reading “Challenge #317 … Photo Tangles”
A Tropical Garden …
Last night I shared Cheryl Moote’s “Tropical Garden” ideas with Judy and Julie. These two love everything that has color so our meetings are usually ZIA-based projects. In order to finish in our two hour time frame, we created our gardens on 5×7 paper.… Continue Reading “A Tropical Garden …”
Challenge #315 … “Molygon”
This week’s Challenge is to use the pattern “Molygon”. This tangle reminds me of bananas so I just had to create a fun little Bijou ZIA. Hope you get a giggle out of it! Happy Birthday to our “leader”, Laura Harms, CZT on her special… Continue Reading “Challenge #315 … “Molygon””

Challenge #309 … “Noom”
Back at ZenAgain in late 2016, several new patterns were introduced. One of them was “Noom” – in honor of the Super Moon taking place at that time. (Hence … moon spelled backwards!) The step-outs have just been made public so the Diva challenged us to… Continue Reading “Challenge #309 … “Noom””
Challenge #308 … “Mac’n’Cheese”
This week’s Challenge was a nice, simple, easy one …. use your favorite go-to pattern on a tile. My favorite go-to is “Flux” – it’s fun to draw, relaxing, and goes anywhere on a page. When I have to sit and wait, I love to… Continue Reading “Challenge #308 … “Mac’n’Cheese””
