This week is the Weekly Challenge #100: Tangle with K-L-M. So here is what we say this week “This week is Challenge #100, the Alphabet challenge of K, L & M. Use tangles starting with the letters K, L & M in your drawing. It’s your choice to only use patterns with these letters or to add some others as well. Happy Tangling!! We look forward to seeing what you come up with for your K, L & M.” Thus this is a little ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art) using tangles that start with the letters K, L & M. Zentangle Enticed Me So above is my Challenge ZIA.  I am excited that Carolien and I now realize we can make the thumbnails bigger!!  We are hoping others will join us again now that we are back on track!!

Do you see why I liked it so much? Well time was coming near to when I had to jump in. And I decided that purple would be the other color … and that Joki, the big pile of seashells in the middle, rising up, would be purple.  So I started off. It was easy to put the dark purples on the left side, as I wanted. Then I moved to the lighter  purples – lavender and such.  Oh-oh!!  The light purples didn’t parse out light enough.  I kept at it for awhile.  Then I took my nice handy art/scientific eraser and managed to get off a lot of the color.  First time (and hopefully last) that I ever did this!  The eraser and I became good friends … better friends … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
