Weekly Challenge #179


Greetings to Bijou this Tuesday! I am so glad to have you out in public!


The challenge from i am the diva was to try out this new format! You can find out more about Bijou here.

I am waiting for my Bijou tiles to arrive, so for this weeks challenge I was not sure what I wanted to do. But wait, I thought to myself…. I think I have something that will work. While at Tangle U earlier this spring we were gifted two wee samples of Sue Jacobs beautiful hand colored tiles, a round and a square one. What if they were the right size? I was lucky and the square one was the perfect Bijou size! If you are interested in Sue’s tiles and want to order some for yourself, you can see and read all about them here. They are really quite lovely.



I decided that Bijou would walk along the Printemps trail, among the Zingers.



I also continued to enjoy leaving some RAZ’s, Random Acts of Zentangle, around Lake City, Minnesota.

First I left this one at Port 104, a restaurant/bar, with an attached bowling alley. They had some folks in there bowling one evening and here is the tile I left behind and the placement on the table.







The second one was left at my favorite little shop, Treats and Treasures. Here is the tile placed in the shop, (sorry about the quality, but I had to be really subversive with this one due to the other shoppers). They have the greatest fudge! My current favorite is the Espresso, followed closely by the Dark chocolate caramel sea salt.




Here is a better shot of it.




 We continue to enjoy the beautiful view, sitting out in front of our place in the evenings.

 



 My thanks to you for stopping by, 
and to all of you lovely people who commented on my work last week, 
You Rock!


 Have a Terrific Tuesday and Tangle On!

  1. Your little Bijou is so sweet working his way through such a beautifully done tile. Do you ever wait to see if anyone picks up your work? It would make me crazy HAHA!

    1. Jean, I don't wait, but I must confess, I did check one of the places to see if it had been picked up yet. It's really quite fun to decide where to leave them and try to get the photo without getting "caught" too. I just hope that the folks who find them enjoy them!

  6. Wonderful Bijou Tile. Love the color and design. I enjoyed your RAZie adventures. There are some folks who are the recipients of these beautiful Tiles who don't know how lucky they are. Beautiful work.

  7. They are all so very beautiful! I did it once, leaving a tile (RAZ) in a shop. I always think that I'll do it more, but then forget. Thanks for reminding.

  8. Great Bijou tile. I like the blue. It has an aquatic feel to it. I really like the second tile that you left at T & T. The sepia highlights really make this a stunner.

  13. I love your little blue Bijou, and I especially like your interpretation of Purk in the next tile. Very different and nicely geometric!

  14. I like that Bijou is taking a stroll down printemps. Your random acts are beautiful also, both the work and the thought.

  15. These are all gorgeous! I love the last one best and what a fun idea to leave them different places. Do you sign them on the back or just leave them? I always wonder what to do with all the tiles I create!

  17. Just gorgeous! How clever of you to leave Bijou as RAZ's. You've inspired me to do this in Australia this week. The perfect size to leave a beautiful Bijou snail trail of fun!

  18. Kate... Your entries are absolutely wonderful! I sure wish I lived in your area... I would be on the look out to find one of your tiles! What a treasure! I haven't left a tile yet... maybe soon...
