Weekly Challenge #178


Welcome back to Laura, of i am the diva, after her trip to the Moebius Syndrome Conference. We missed you, but really had fun with the guest posts from Amy and Carolyn! This week’s challenge, a Duotangle using the letters of our name. 
For me that is a K and an A. Here is my tile for the challenge.


 I used Knightsbridge and Aquafleur.

Hubby and I have taken a bit of time to relax in Lake City, Minnesota recently and enjoyed the beautiful view out the front window. 


 I also took some time to leave a RAZ, Random Act of Zentangle at the local Post Office. Lake City was the home of the inventor of waterskiing, Ralph Samuelson, and is known as "The Birthplace of Waterskiing." Here is a mural in the post office depicting his first waterskiing. Yes they really used a plane, as boat motors at the time were not fast enough to pull him out of the water. 

 
 Here is the tile I left behind.

 
 Thank you for stopping by to see my work, 
and for the lovely comments that many of you leave.

Have a great week and Tangle On!

  1. Ooh, what lovely tiles! Your Aquafleur in the initials tile is absolutely stunning! How I wish I lived somewhere nearer - maybe I'd have found your RAZ (I'd certainly go looking after reading this....!) Axxx

    1. Zoe, I did this one on a Renaissance tile, with black and brown micron. It's shaded with white Prismacolor color pencil, graphite and a sanguine Prismacolor chalk pencil. Hope this helps! :)

  12. Beautiful initial tile. The colors accent each other so well. Like how you connected your sections and then shaded in the negative space.
