It's been an awesome last few days of holiday as we've had the most amazing weather! We made the most of it and went walking in the mountains and, of course, on the beach! We walked up Elsies Peak, which overlooks my home town of Fish Hoek.

| We love where we live! |

Cruising around Pinterest, I found a stunning paint and ink drawing which I had to do! I used water colour pencils with water and a 0.7 micron pen for the ink work. I had such fun with this one that I immediately started a smaller one!

The Diva's weekly challenge was/is to use a stencil to create the tangle this week. I had an interesting time finding a stencil! I have lots of scrapbooking stencils of shapes and letters but nothing caught my eye. I picked out the following small stencils, the blue scrapblock and my cookie shapes (I got the idea from one of the entrants)
 |
| The decision....cookie cutter and circles. |
 |
| The end product! Tangles used: foghorn, paizel, punzel |
Hopefully the good weather lasts for the weekend as school goes back on Monday!
Happy Creating

Thanks for sharing those photo's, you can see you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteYour zendala is beautiful. What made me laugh is the fact that you had all the stencils and used a cookie cutter :-)
Wonderful zendala! Especially I like the Punzel-border. Also thank you for sharing your nice photos.
