GHOULISH TRI-BEE

Weekly Challenge #238

UMT (Use My Tangle): Tri-Bee

by

Beate Winkler CZT, @ Bea Bea Design

   

   Before I get straight to the challenge, I just wanted to show you a little bit of 'life as I know it', here at Casa deCarlo's. Back in April we bought chickies for the kids, (I mean the Easter Bunny brought chickies for the kids). So now that we're in September, we can definitely see which 'one' turned out to be rooster. (Thank goodness, it was only one!)  So we have 5 hens and one rooster. And as of this week, we are now benefiting from these little ladies. We are getting eggs! (I guess I should say, one of them is laying. One egg a day!) Beautiful brown eggs!!!!

The white ones are from the store. (I just added them in the photo shoot.)

Anybody want a rooster? We need to get rid of him now that there are eggs coming!  This is our mobile chicken coupe.

   And then we had a glorious rain!!! Oh, how I wish we would get a true 'Fall' like so many other states!

This is my view when I'm washing dishes! Oh how I would love to Tangle that wall!!!!  As soon as I find out that our house is in escrow and they will be tearing it down,......I'm gonna be tangling this whole house:0)

   So there is a bit of 'life as I know it'! Now on with the fun!!

Oh, how I love this new tangle by Beate Winkle, CZT. Thank you Beate for sharing it with us, and thank you Laura for choosing it for UMT! It's always exciting to see new tangles that everyone has created.

Ok, I wish I had taken a picture of the true shapes of Tri-bee, before I started turning them into Narwal.  But for step outs for Narwal, the pencil shape used, can be like that of what is used in Tri-bee. That is what inspired me to use Narwal. Turned this way, it looks a little like a wonky elephant.

I know,....... a little crazy and wild!!!!! But I tell you what, when I got started I just couldn't stop! I got so into my zen that I completely got lost!!

As I had finished the original, I kept thinking what would it look like if I colored it?  So my good friend Jean Chaney, gave me the perfect solution,.........Scan it and then print it and color the print! (now why didn't I think of that?) Thanks again, Jean :0)

   I also figured that since it is October and close to Halloween, I might as well spook it up even more.

Please remember to go to the Diva's website and check out how everyone else has used Tri-Bee. Also, if you like to tangle, why not give the Zendala Dare at The Bright Owl, a try. It's lots of fun, and this weeks' challenge is getting us ready for Halloween too!

   A big THANKS to all of you who visit and leave a message! Your words are always appreciated!

Ps, Please go to my page Dans Friday, for a free download coloring page. I add a new one every second Friday of every month. Download it and share it with others!!! <3

Have an awesome rest of the week!!

CHALLENGED BY CHARKAT'S CREATIVE INSANITY

I Am the Diva, CZT

Weekly Challenge #237

"Guest post- Charlotte Carpentier"

CharKat's Creative Insanity

   Hello one and all! Happy Tuesday to you!!! I'm quite happy today! As I was looking at some pics that I took yesterday, I just couldn't help smiling, and thinking how wonderful God's creations are in this world! It's the little things that help our days and remind us to be grateful and thankful!!! Thank You, God for butterflies!!!

Can you see the butterfly in there? 

Now can you see him in flight? He was huge! I don't know what kind of butterfly he was but what a glorious sight! He flew around this Kumquat tree for a good 5 minutes. Just fluttering!!

   Well, I just had to share that with you, because my little ones and I were in such amazement, over his size and how long he stayed to flutter!

   On with the challenge! Yesterday was just one of those days. I felt inspired! Oh did I mention that I taught my first 'Official' class yesterday? Oh my, we had soooooo much fun, and my ladies were just fabulous!!  (Thank you ladies for breaking the ice for me.) I still don't have a venue, (mainly because I'm lacking the time in my schedule to teach consistently right now). But what a joy it was for me, to see these beautiful women put the Zentangle method into practice. And most of them had never heard of Zentangle and when I showed them what they would be creating, the response was, "Oh there is no way I'll be able to do that!" And of course they did!! It was AWESOME! I so enjoyed teaching, and can't wait to do more of it!!

There were actual moments of solitude and Zen!!!! Brought memories of my CZT class.

They all took notes in the sketch pads I supplied.

Don't they look like they've done this before?

My set up! I taught this one at home since it was small and I knew one of the girls.

Here is their display of finished tiles!! YAY!!!! I was supposed to write on the black boards but didn't get a chance to.

Okay,........ I'm sorry I got carried away! The class was fun and I would say a success. A couple of the women asked if I would do another class or even teach a Girl Scout Troop!! So exciting!!! I guess I could've saved all of this for a post all by itself, but I just wanted to share with fellow Diva tanglers.

For reals now,..... on with the challenge!

I used colors for fall. I am sooooooooo ready for a change of weather! We have had nothing but really hot temperatures here! YUK!

Here are the supplies I used for this. I just felt inspired to play with different mediums.

   I used Sizzix die cuts for my leaf stencils. For color, I first sprayed with alcohol dies. And believe it or not, I did not use any black ink on this at all. It just didn't happen. If fact this whole thing was not thought out, I just played with colors and design, as it went. It was so much fun playing. I don't know if I'm 100% happy with it, but it was fun!

   Thank you Charlotte, for giving us a new and different challenge! I enjoyed it! Please do check out Charlotte's blog, CharKat's Creative Insanity, for many exciting art projects, and inspirations.

   Welp, enjoy your week and we'll see you next week!! Last week was so much fun to see how creative everybody got with the Diva's challenge, "The Unexpected"! Everything was just amazing!!
