Challenge 81 Relay For Life

I have not posted a weekly challenge since mid June.  My excuse is the wonderful summer I am having with my family, especially my wonderful Grandchildren.  They have been visiting at Grandma and Grandpa's house and we are having a great time.  We have been spending lots of time at our community pool. It is time to start getting ready to go to Columbus, Ohio for the Hoot Painting Convention.  Hoot is a wonderful convention for classes and shopping and I am looking forward to being there again.  Last week I was at the Ann Arbor, MI art festival, wow, what a great art show.  It was my first time and definitely not my last.  So here I have my weekly challenge at last.  The challenge this week was created by Erin Olson from The Bright Owl. It is called Relay For Life for the American Cancer Society.  Erin also has a weekly Zendala Dare on her blog.  I haven't made too many Zendala's, however, I did find this fun and a challenge as to what patterns to make for all those small spaces.

Challenge 75 Cadent

This weeks challenge from the Diva is Cadent.  It is a popular tangle pattern and many variations can be made from this pattern.  It is fun to teach, people are always amazed at how easy it is to create. Go to the Diva's Challenge and look at all the different entries for this weeks challenge, they are fascinating and beautiful.

Challenge 72 Crescent Moon

How fun was this....  This week's Diva Challenge was Crescent Moon pattern. Crescent Moon is a favorite of many of us Tanglers and it is amazing how many different designs I can think of for this great pattern.  I enjoy doing mono patterns because you really learn the many ways you can change and add to it.  I decided to try another tile in color.  Using prism color pencils, my goal was to achieve a coppery looking color.  It is okay, may want to try water colors next time.  Let me know what you think.
