Sandy Hunter Plus Minus Challenge
Each week the Diva puts out a challenge for folks to make their representation of her idea. Over the summer the Diva has guest bloggers to spend more time with her family. This week is the Weekly Challenge #229: “Sandy Hunter Plus Minus”. So here is what Sandy Hunter says this week “I tend to make my tangles really busy. Sometimes I have to stop myself from tangling until my tile is more black than white, because all those little nooks and crannies are just so to fill in! Every now and then, though, it’s refreshing to change it up (“Put the pen down and back away slowly!â€) and leave some negative (white) space for the eye to rest. Shift your focus to the negative space, so the white part of your tile is the focus of your tangle. Ponder the possibilities… what will your string be?” So this is a little Plus Minus ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art)
Zentangle Enticed Me
Zentangle has become popular the last several years and I have been intrigued and putting my attention to it. I put my name with a © more prominently since some folks’ zentangles are getting stolen and printed on posters and such. The roofer has almost finished and he is fabulous!! The wheelchair ramp is done and it looks great!! Running into some other issues – STILL. Please wish me luck staying in the flow!!! I am not very happy with this – it didn’t really turn out like I wanted. There is supposed to be a tulip type flower and some slender leaves to go with it. Think of mine as more subtle – like a puzzle or trying to find Waldo. 🙂 🙂 Thank you to everyone who made comments on my posts these last weeks. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Which Tangle is Which?
The “cup” of the flower shape is filled with Cruffle – like a ice cream sundae the pops over the cup-like dish. Euca wanders in 3 rows to the right of the flower. Jax streams in 2 rows to the left of the flower. Both Jax and Euca continue above and below the sundae cup. Yomaho is the hearts along both leaves. BeadleJoos is the long slender snakes with bands to the right and left of the tile  🙂 🙂 There you have it!! 🙂
Diane & Carolien’s Weekly Zentangle Challenge

My Studio and Thank You!
I am organizing my studio again to be able to work and a table has tons of stuff dumped on it – and more stuff is dumped in there from the holidays!! (My studio always gets filled up when there are projects in the house that need a place to dump a bunch of stuff for awhile!! NOW with all the repair work to come, there will be more dumping!! LOL!!) But even my studio got damaged 🙂 Thank you for stopping by!! I LOVE comments!! Thank you!! ~ Diane Clancy

a perfect balance of black and white. 🙂
Sandy, thank you so much for your kind comment!! 🙂 🙂
I can see the tulip. Clever negative space using your trademark flower themes.
Glad you can see the tulip, Yorkshire!! And thank you for your comment!!! 🙂 🙂
First I saw the negative space as a tulip like flower, but then once you mentioned the ice cream sundae, of course, that’s all I can see AND I’m starving, so that isn’t helping me revert to the floral theme. In either case, I’m feeling the space, so it’s all good.
You are so funny, Suzanne!! I am glad you saw it as a tulip first 🙂 🙂 Glad you could go back to floral!! 🙂 🙂
Pretty and flowing. I see a tulip 🙂
Thank you, Jean for pretty, flowing and the tulip too!! 🙂 🙂
I see a sundae! So clever!
Glad you think this is clever – thank you, Yukari!! 🙂 🙂
What a “sweet” way to use the tulip shape! Tee! Hee! Very good concept.
Dear Diane, your Tangle Drawings are so lively, and sweet. To my hearts regret, I must unsubscribe from all the newsletters/blog posts. Business reasons require my undivided attention for some time. With heartfelt blessings to you and yours, Tracy McDonald
Dear Tracy, thank you so very much for saying my tangles are so sweet and lively!! I understand about business – mine is suffering for a couple of reasons and I can’t comment as I would wish. My blessings go to you and those your care about!! I have so eagerly read each of your comments!! Thank you so much!! ~ Diane
Like others before me said, I see the tulip too (of course it’s not hard for me, being Dutch :-).
That is funny – I guess being Dutch would help with the tulip!! 🙂 🙂 Thank you, Annemarie!! 🙂
Very nice tile, so flowery 🙂
I also can see the tulip!
Sandra, thank you so much for saying this is nice and flowery!! 🙂 🙂
Very nice how the light and dark spaces mingle together harmoniously. Nice work. Sarah
Thank you, Sarah, for saying the light and dark work together!! 🙂 🙂
Wonderful play between dark and light in this tile! I like this fine contrast … and I see the tulip, too!
Thank you for saying fine contrast, LonettA!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Love it! adorable little tulip in the middle of it all…great work!
Thank you so much HeidiSue for saying my tulip is adorable 🙂 🙂
