Diva and VII Challenges, Combined!

It has been a long week. Let's just say I'm really glad to have zentangle to keep myself on an even keel. 

This week's Diva Challenge is a UMT, Fassitt by Lynn Mead. Haven't played with it too much, but boy did I have fun with it this time!

I decided to do a classic sampler style piece, with lots of tangles, and had SO much fun.

I had a lot of fun doing this. The patterns are, from the left:

Fronds, andante, ribbons, bead line, embellishments, niuroda, prestwud across the top, fassitt, flux, and some little fassitt motifs. Beadlines down at the bottom spilling out, and a few black perls amongst the flux leaves. Along the top of the niuroda is a line of hamail going along the curve rather than in a circle. I think it looks cool.

There are a couple of pieces I've done this past week or so, not attached to any challenge, just relaxing and fun to do.

I JUST LOVE andante, there on the left.

 Just a spiral with tropicana elements

 Flux and ribbons and bubbles

Now, on to Joey's challenge for the week. We're up to VII for our string, with instructions to use zailz, queen's crown, nippa, and gotcha. With a bonus for using all four.

Well, I couldn't pull that off, but I did manage to something:

Oh...just realized, I never did any shading on this one hahaha...it was fun doing the auras all shiny, and the perfs are good that way too.
