Divas Weekly Challenge #178: "Duotangle by the Letter!"

Divas Weekly Challenge #178: "Duotangle by the Letter!"

This weeks challenge was to use use any two tangles to create a duo tangle, using the initials of your name. With my initials L & W I chose to use laced and window grilles. There were not many tangles starting with w to choose from.

Laced is a tangle that I have always admired but never got around to trying, so I took this weeks challenge to give it a go. Laced is a very simple tangle with heaps of potential. If you have not tried it before then I suggest giving it a go. It always looks so good.

After completing my tile, I was not very happy with the result. The laced pattern was lost in the window grilles. So after some time I decided to work some more on my shading techniques to provide more contrast for the laced pattern. now I could see the laced pattern but I still wasn't really happy. In the end I used colour to make my laced pattern more pronounced. I am now happy with my results. I hope you like the look as well.

One of the great things about Zentangle is being able to use different techniques and skills to create different results. I am always trying something new.

Anyway, here is my tile for this weeks challenge:

Happy tangling everyone.

Weekly Challenge #162: "String Theory - Initial String"

This week, the Diva challenged us to using out initials as the string for a tile.

I really enjoyed playing with this challenge. I have used my initials on various occasions before and each time I use my initials as the string I come up with something totally different.

This is my tile for this challenge using my initials.

Can you spot the 'L' and the 'W'?

Cheers & happy tangling, until next time.
