This is the finished product of Beyond the Basics black tiles class. We completed two weeks with white on black tiles. We have now moved on to Tan tiles. I have a great group of 13 women eager to learn new tangles and new mediums. I have really enjoyed teaching Zentangle methods in the Katy Continuing Education system.

Diva Challenge #178

 

This is my attempt at the Diva Challenge this week. My initials are DW so I used Dragonair and W-2. I wasn't so sure the Dragonair would show after I finished the W-2 but the shading really helped it pop. I loved this challenge.

Diva Challenge #177

This is my attempt at the new tangle. I had fun with it and plan to use it in future drawings. I am really starting to enjoy these challenges. I just learned about them at CZT 15 and now I look forward to each Monday and what new challenge it will bring.

This is my addition for the Diva Challenge #176. I don't drink coffee so I used cranberry juice. It didn't show up very dark even after 2 applications! I can see a light pink in person but it didn't show up on the picture. Oh well I enjoyed doing this and I may add it to my RAZ pile. 

Diva Challenge #175

This is my first try at Crux. I put the same tangle in each corner and filled the empty spots different ways. This was fun to do and I plan to keep using this one.

Diva Challenge #174

 This is my first time to complete a challenge. String #1

String #2

My finished tangle.

Christmas #1

The morning started off great. Pat got some new exercise equipment and he showed us how buff he is.

Al had a special friend help him open his presents.

Rhiannon got a new gun for Christmas and now she's packing heat.

Wendy got 3 complete seasons of Golden Girls. We won't see her for days.

Patrice got some clothes, painting supplies and a Mickey Mouse nutcracker.

Romeo got a new sweater.

Al and Patrice gave me a Mad Cow. He jumps and yells like he's gong mad. Just right for this family!

He's all I need for Christmas. Yuk I know toooooo much mush.

Al gave us all new slippers. What cute peepers we have now.

I wouldn't be Christmas without the sweater!

It was too warm to keep on so Pat posed with the true shirt.

Then he held us spell bound with his wisdom. It must be his usual good news by the look on Wendy's face. :)

Now we get down to opening the presents. Stephen is helping Pat read his book. By the way Pat is laughing I think it's a comic book.

Wendy awed us with her apple cutting expertise right there on the floor. Some were even brave enough to eat a slice.

After that we were hungry and sat down to a biiiiiig breakfest. Lots of food, laughs and good stories. Right Bekah????

The Wright women posed again this year. We're just missing Mariah. Wish you were there!

After that big breakfest we got out the Wii fit and tried to work off some calaries. With the exception of Rhiannon and Stephen we were all seriously unbalanced. Pat was so impressed with Stephen's hip action he paid him a dollar when he was done. It was a great day and fun was had by all. I love you guys

Christmas #3

After a day of opening presents all over town Anthoni came to our house to open the last batch.

Anthoni got some computer games, gift cards and...

Rock Band 2 to go with his new Xbox360.
