Uncorked for That's New To Me

This week's That's New to Me Week #4 Challenge was to learn a new tangle using letter "U". I decided to learn the tangle Uncorked by CZT Adele Bruno. Uncorked is a fun tangle that would look great for use in a floral pattern or butterly.

Tangled Hand - Joey's Weekly Challenge #46

Hi guys,

This week's Joey's Weekly Challenge #45 was so much fun. Roshni was mentioning just last week that she wants to tangle her hand and here in the mail comes Joey's Challenge "try your hand at tangling". Roshni was so excited and happy with the challenge, she tangled her hand not once but twice and both the times, she has created some great effects true to her self.


The first time she tangled her hand, she was wearing a full sleeves dress, so she tangled her hand like wise. Next time, she was wearing a bangle and thus the bangle. Also, she has made sure to include her wedding ring in her tangles.

Hope you love Tangled Hands By Roshni.

Falling Hearts - It's a string thing #77

Last week of January is here. What a fun month it has been so far with all the Zentangle challenges. So the first Zentangle dare of this week that we are participating is the "It's a String Thing #77".

The challenge was to use tangle pattern string 77 and tangles Heartrope, Heartstrings, Heartvine and
Luv-a.

The special thing about this challenge was that all tangles were renditions of heart. I call it falling hearts and the thought behind doing this was to shower love on one and all who see this and thus, falling hearts.

Here is our entry to the challenge

Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day Challenge 2015

Hi friends,

We are finally participating in "I Am The Diva Weekly Challenge." This week is the #201 weekly challenge.

Moebius syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that is present at birth. It primarily affects the 6th and 7th cranial nerves, leaving those with the condition unable to move their faces (they can’t smile, frown, suck, grimace or blink their eyes) and unable to move their eyes laterally. 24th January is celebrated as Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day Challenge and this week's I Am The Diva Challenge was to use the Moebius Syndrome Foundation's logo as a string for tangling and incorporate purple as thats the colour of Moebius Syndrome.

Moebius Syndrome Foundation's logo

This challenge was something different from other Zentangle challenges that we have participated till now as it's about raising awareness about a rare medical disorder. We (Roshni & Dr. Neha) decided to do something different about this challenge:

1. Tangle tiles with using Moebius Syndrome Foundation Logo
2. Make bookmarks & Badges about Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day

Our tiles 

Our Bookmarks

We 1st printed 2 different outlines for our book marks 1. For the front which only has the logo and empty space to tangle 2. For the back which has information of Moebius syndrome along with the logo 

We then tangled on the book marks. We made a total of 8 bookmarks: 4 with purple background & 4 with white background. Here is the scanned images of front of all our bookmarks

 The Front of Purple Bookmarks

 The Front of White Bookmarks

We also tangled in the logos at the back in purple. 

Here are pics of the final outcome of the bookmarks

Our Badges

We 1st printed 2 different outlines for our badges 1. For the front which only has the logo and empty space to tangle 2. For the back which has "Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day & 24 Jan" Printed

We then tangled on the front and coloured the logo on back in solid purple. We made a total of 4 badges. Here is the scanned images of all our 4 badges

Here are the pics of the final outcome of badges

We are trying to connect with some Moebius Syndrome patients in India (as its difficult for us to send them abroad) with whom we can share these bookmarks & badges to help them spread awareness around them. If someone reading this blog knows of Moebius Syndrome patient in India please connect with us.

Keep tangling & connecting with us.

Zendala Personal Challenge - 2 & Thats New To Me Challenge - Week 3

Hi friends,

As I embarked upon doing at least 1 Zendala pattern every 15 days, I have once again combined my personal Zendala challenge with the "That's New To Me" challenge by Suzzane Moshier. This is Week 3 of the challenge and the random alphabet was "V". I decided to learn Vache-1 & Vache-2 by Canadian CZT® Geneviève Crabe for this challenge.

For the Zendala, I used the Bright Owl Zendala Dare 4 template. It was fun combining my persoanl challenge once again with "That's New To Me" Challenge.

Beauty of Flowers

Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful. ~Jim Carrey

The beauty of the flowers speaks for itself.  These are breath-taking. And here is my tangle take on these beautiful flowers

Happy Birthday Aswin

So it was my hubby's 30th Birthday last Saturday. So we went to my In-laws place in Chennai. 30 is a milestone birthday we like to celebrate in a really big way.

Aging is a hard, especially when you begin a new decade but it is also a great 

thing. You start realizing that time is going by and that you are growing old. However, it also reminds you to become more responsible and mature.

So here is a tangle wishing him a happy 30^th and a cake which I hopefully will make one day

Lots of Love

Roshni

One Stroke At A Time

The most important thing that I have learnt in the last few days from the art of Zentangle & the tanglers around the world is selflessness. Tanglers across the globe so gracefully share step-outs for their tangle designs & templates for others to use.

Kimberly Michael is one of the tanglers who has been very kind. She has started this tangle group on facebook called "Tangled Type" and she shares her typography templates every week for others to tangle. The 1st template she shared is the Zentangle tag line "One Stroke At A Time"

Here is my end result of the tangelation

The copyrights to the template belong to Studio Grapheme • http://studiographe.me & can be found on facebook Tangled Type group.

Luck

The new word in the 4 letter series that Roshni has tangled today is LUCK. 

Along with hard work, LUCK plays a role in all things that happen around us. We wish all the good luck to one and all around us.

Joey's Weekly Challenge #43

Joey's Weekly Challenge #43 was super interesting this week. The challenge was tangle a bunch of 4 tiles with the same pattern and arrange them together to create a single tile. We had fun doing this tangle. We have created 1 tile, and arranged them in a bunch of 4 using Microsoft Powerpoint and arranged them in 4 different ways with each style giving a different look. Super fun...

Thanks Joey for this fun challenge.

Flying Kites

Hi All,

The best part about living in India is that we are a multicultural country with many festivals.

On 14th January we celebrate a festival called Makar-Sankranti (North & West India), Pongal (South India) & Lodhi (Punjab). Apart from all other rituals, this day is celebrated as kite flying day in India. Everyone from big to small spend the entire day flying kites and bonding with each. 

I decided to tangle a kite today and combined it with the week 2 challenge of That's New To Me Challenge by Suzanne Moshier, which is to learn a new tangle starting from alphabet "C". 

I have used a total of 6 tangles starting from "C" in my ZIA. Off these, I knew Chard already, so I learnt 5 new tangles starting from C: Carrés, C-Bun, Checkered Zag, Confettus & Classe. 

For this festival, we all apply henna. Though I am not a henna artist at all, I tried some tangles on my hand. I used Twizted & a terrible attempt at Zinger.

Hope you love our tangles.

Love & Hope

Hi,

We were wondering the other day, what is it that keeps us going in life? After a lot of thinking and brainstorming, we came up with 2 words, which we think keep us going: Love & Hope.

Hope gives us the support that we can get through any difficulty in life & Love gives us the strength to face all the hardship of life.

Here are our Tanglicious Hope & Love for everyone.

We love to tangle & hope that we keep receiving your love always. Keep Tangling & Connecting With Us.

Colour v/s Black and White

We did a colourful tile for a It's a string thing #74 challenge. We decided to do a black and white version of the same using Microns. Here are the 2 tiles for comparison.

Black & White Tile

Colourful Tile

Though, still a long way to perfect the tangles, we personally love the black & white version more than the colourful one.

Please leave your valuable feedback.
