Diva Challenge #125 - Birdie Feet

This week is the use my tangle challenge, and we were to use Birdie feet from Owl Loving April.

I got carried away with this one, and the birdie feet could be more prominent here.

Along with birdie feet I used pop cloud, nzeppel, pais, and the beginnings of scrolled feather.

Zendala Dare #64

A rather interesting challenge this week. For this I uses cubine and the basic beginnings of Dugwud for the middle. Some simple frilly fans to garnish ooops (been watching to many cooking shows) perhaps embellish would be better used here.

And then one extra thing. I totally did not follow the challenge directions properly and did not use tangles beginning with the letters H.O.T or H.E.A.T - another oooops!. Think I'm going back to bed!

Stay cool people. The kids and I plan to fry eggs outside sometime this week. To actually see if it can be done.

Zendala Dare #63

Happy July everyone, and Happy Canada Day to our Canadian friends, and Happy 4th of July to our American friends when it comes around. Yes it's sure going to be a long hot summer and while many of us are looking forward to getting on with it, I am sure the heat is a deterrent for many, including me.

The template from Erin for this week seemed strange at first glance. Strange indeed. It took a while for me to figure out what would be right for it. It wasn't much of a struggle once I got the first set of lines flowing. I did want to try out SNUGZ again. I used it last week in another challenge, and it got sort of weird when I lost my concentration in the middle of doing it. If you notice, the 2 halves are inconsistent.




Here is SNUGZ again with Kuke

It was a little easier this time. Just don't know why I can't wrap my head around twisty thing like that.
Have a good week all.

Diva Challenge -#124 - Thinking of Calgary

This weeks challenge was about remebering the flooding victims in Calgary, Canada, so therefore the challenge was left open. For sure the weather around the world this year has been weird. I was not aware of flooding in Canada, but have been following the plight of those who have suffered the same situation in Europe last week as well as in India. It is so difficult to see and hear of so many people being hurt and displaced.

It's just not fair that some people get too much of one thing and others get none - like  RAIN. Not that I expect rain at all, but Doha will hit 47C degrees today. That's about 115F. Really? And it's only June. What's going to happen in July? Yup this is the hottest I've ever felt it.

For the challenge I just started with a string and tried stuff.
The weekend starts to day, and summer holidays officially start today as well. It's going to be a long hot one!

Happy new week to everyone!!!

This weeks template from the bright owl was very nice, as usual. I really enjoyed this one. Here's my interpretation of it.

tangles used are birds on a wire and flwr box
