I hope you relaxed and enjoyed this week’s challenge too:)
Diva Challenge 283
Apprentice Tile Tangles: Cack, Centre, Disco and Jax
This tile was a bit of a wanderer…it resisted strings and kept expanding its borders. I started with a few strings that I think were too equal in size and then the design just started to float away:) Tried to add some “pizazz” with the three circle elements and the General’s Lilac chalk, which was a fun experiment.
Hope you are having a wonderful week:) Experiencing a mini-heat wave again in New England. In an attempt to get organized for the fall, we took out our window air conditioning units last week (big mistake) so dinner just may be in a nice air conditioned restaurant.

Olympic inspired tangles…
I was happy to be able to watch parts of the Olympic coverage, especially the gymnastics, swimming and volleyball events. So many amazing athletes! In gymnastics, Simone Biles simply defies gravity!
In a sense, like the Olympics, I’ve noticed the Zentangle Method and community inspires people from all over the world; I love how tangle art is about trying, contributing and sharing:)

Duotangle in Black and White
Diva’s Weekly Tangle Challenge #279
Two tangles: Auraknot and Meer
It was fun to take up this week’s challenge with a white Gelly Roll pen on a black tile. I haven’t done that in awhile:) Meer was a new tangle for me, and I really liked it as a background tangle. I could see Meer becoming a “go-to” tangle because I tend to like flowy/organic style designs. Hope to check out many other duotangles and thanks for stopping by to check out mine.
Happy tangling! Jill

Diva’s Weekly Tangle Challenge #278
It was a happy surprise when I chose a Bijou tile to try Knightstar and the next tile in the stack was one of those lovely “words of wisdom” tiles that come with the boxed set. “Slow Down.” Just what I needed to hear:)
My brain couldn’t handle more than Knightstar corners, this time. The grid lay-out concept was winding me up – not slowing me down. I did learn the basics of a new pattern from this challenge, and I think Knightstar makes a cute corner!
I’m happy to be slowing down. It’s another hot toasty New England day. The air conditioning is on- and there will be no multi-tasking. E-mail, paperwork and dinner will happen – all in good time.
Happy tangling! Jill
Diva Challenge #277 Running ‘Round in Circles
The last few weeks, I have been “running ’round in circles” too! Summer is supposed to slow things down, right?
So it was nice to settle in on a sunny summer afternoon, take on the Diva’s next challenge to a create a tile with circles, and tangle for awhile. Here’s my circle inspired tile with a little of bit of this and a little bit of that, Jetties, Finery, Tipple, Rock n’Roll, Henna Drum… with a touch of Gelly Roll pen.
Happy tangling! Jill
