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.
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

Moebius Syndrome Foundation's logo
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.
Love,
Dr. Neha & Roshni
