This weeks challenge is a UMT (Use my tangle) by LeeAnn, a.k.a Ledenzer, called "Tuxedo."  I liked this one because I got to try out the torn paper look.  I LOVE it!

This challenge definitely helped me get more comfortable doing the MOOKA tangle. The outcome is BLAHHHHHHHHHH but I enjoyed the learning process.

Diva Challenge #110

The Diva's challenge this week was to tangle "outside of the box." Since I'm new to Zentangle...most things are out of my box. I have a hard time tangling without a string...so this is my NO STRING tangle.  I don't like it. I know i know...I'm hard on myself....but I feel like my work is much better when contained. you know? 

Oh and I also have a tangling injury.  Here is what I posted on my Facebook,

I was wondering if my pain is due to my obsessive drawing these days...and if anyone else has the same pain. My index finger knuckle on my right hand closest to my hand KILLS when touched or bent. Doesn't hurt when i crack that knuckle how I normally would by bending it sideways, only when bent in the way the knuckle bends. my left hand has the same pain, but MUCH less. Its been progressively getting worse over the last 2 weeks. Thoughts?I got laid off in December. Its definitely not urgent enough to need to see someone right now...but i thought maybe someone else had the same issues if they drew a whole bunch. I crochet, so i know the chronic pains us "hookers" get...like left wrist pain, but this one is new. If I'm doing the dishes and say I'm washing a bowl with the sponge and sweeping the inside. If my knuckle hits the inside of the bowl, HUGE pain. Kinda like if I had punched a wall a few days ago as hard as I could. Its like a bruise I cant see! SOOO frustrating! My best friend is also doctor, and so is her husband, but they live in Oregon. (I'm in TX) My cousin I live with is an RN, and she thinks its arthritis. and yes...I'm a tight gripper. learning to grip lightly...may be challenging. ugh!

So here is my OUTSIDE of the box challenge!

Diva Challenge #109

I'm not very happy with this....so I may do another one. I definitely haven't mastered this new design. Gosh am I anal. :-)

Diva Challenge 108

This week the challenge is to use a "UMT." That means USE MY TANGLE. Jane made this tangle called "Whyz." I haven't learned to tangle "outside of the box" if you know what I mean....I'm a literal thinker. So a lot of my tangles are going to be somewhat obvious until I step outside of my comfort zone. Enjoy!

I started doing the Diva Challenge a few weeks ago and I'm hooked. Here's my entry for the new tangle pattern called "Quandary."  The challenge is on the right side of my blog. All you do is click the button and it will take you to her website. She posts a Zentangle challenge every week.
