" Blind Sided " - Challenge #116

We are going "vintage" for this week's challenge.  The Diva says:  "I'm revisiting another past challenge - using a blind string."

This challenge was VERY enjoyable.  It was nice to be reminded of the 'feel good' effects of the Zentangle process.  A relaxing sense of purpose.  Nice.

.... and since I was on vacation last week and had no access to a scanner, I was unable to submit my challenge tile on time.  No worries.

"Tuxedo" - UMT Challenge #112

 The Diva's challenge to us is a UMT called "Tuxedo".  I don't think I have ever seen this pattern... or maybe, if I have seen it, I don't recognize it.  The tangle pattern was created by a wonderfully talented artist, LeeAnn (aka ledenzer).  I just love love love her style of tangling.  You can find step-out instructions for Tuxedo HERE.

My ZIA for this challenge: 

ZIA - 4"x6" - Sakura Micron Black and Brown (which is sepia color) .25mm each; graphite shading

This was a very interesting pattern to work with.  It seems to have so many more design possibilities. 
Thank you, LeeAnn.
