DC #329, a new blog with a new challenge, Happy 4th. Birthday IAST

This weeks guestpost by Marguerite Samana on Diva's blog. Marguerite challengend us to use Fragment D1. I tried to draw in three different ways. On of them with Reticula R-L2 which consist of a circle into a rectangle. Thank you Marguerite for this beautiful and for me relaxing challenge. Please have also a look to the entries of the other artists.

Joey started after her Time-out:

- with a new blog, which have a new format, new name, but the most will be the same as madebyjoey. Congratulation Joey, I like the new format.


- and a beautiful new and interesting challenge over the next 9 weeks. We need 9 tiles (circles, draw in a sketchbook, any size ... all is possible), lay 3 tiles across by 3 down, draw  first a border around the entire square of tiles and then create a large string inside the border crossing every tile. Every week Joey will be choose a tangle, which must be incorporated in the weekly tile.


More details, the new blog and the entries of the other artist you can find here.


I prepared the tiles and began to draw with the first, incorporated African Artist.
While drawing I noticed that I didn't took a picture of the prepared tiles, but it wasn't to late :)) - and here is it.

....and here comes the finished first tile...

Very Happy 4th. Birthday IAST (It's a string Thing). Thank you so much Adele for making a every week great and interesting challenges.


Adele challenged us to celebrate this  with a string of 4 candles and the tangles Knightsbridge, Trella, Copada and Wud.
This week I saw a new Zentangle technic called TransZending - that means, with my words, to draw and shadow your tile as normally. And now drawing with the micron on a part of the tile for example another tangle or a field. Shadow the outside with graphit and inside with white pastell pencil or Zenstone.
I thought this is wonderful and I'll give it a try - especially for this Birthday-Challenge.

Weekly Challenges from the last 2 weeks

Die letzten zwei Wochen waren sehr schwer für mich. Mir geht es immer noch nicht besonders gut und zusätzlich hatten einen Todesfall in der Familie. Ich konnte zwar zeichnen, was mir gut getan hat, aber ich hatte keine Energie einen Blogbeitrag oder Kommentare zu schreiben.

Nachdem ich in letzter Zeit so viel über Reticula und Fragment und über den Primer Vol. 1 gelesen hatte, habe ich mir das Buch auf deutsch bestellt und es diese Woche erhalten. Mir fällt es im Moment schwer und ich habe große Probleme damit, meine Gedanken in Worte zu fassen. Aber das was ich bisher gelesen habe, ist einfach großartig.


At last time I read so much about reticula / fragment and the Primer  Vol. 1, so I ordered this book in German and it arrived this week. This time I have many problems to write what I thought. But that what I have read until now is gorgeous.

Ich habe mit Lektion 1 und 2 angefangen und auch die Tiles dazu gezeichnet. Mir war, als ob ich mit bekannten Mustern wieder neu und achtsamer anfange und ich hatte sehr viel Freude dabei. Back to the roots :))


I started with lesson 1 and 2 and draw the tiles. In my mind it was as if I started new and carefully with tangles, which I know. I enjoyed it. Back to the roots :))
