Joeys Weekly Tangle Challenge #119 - For Sina

When I saw this challenge on Monday I decided not to take part this week because I could not imagine how I should draw the tangle "Gnarly". I do not know it yet and I was not in the mood to give it a try.
Then I saw what you all tanglers made with Gnarly and I was motivated to give it a try...

But then something unexpected happened:
Yesterday our cat Sina died. She has been living with our family for 14 years and was a part of our family.
Lately she was very weak and refused to eat anymore.
It was very emotional for all of us and we weren`t able to hold back the tears.
Last night, after we buried her, I was at home and remembered Joeys Challenge. She wrote that the string looks like a cat`s eye.
And then I begun to draw, adapted the string a little bit, and drew one of Sinas eyes with Gnarly around which remind me of tears.

I drew that for you, Sina.
Rest in Peace.

DIVA Challenge #273 - Tangle Remix

This week the DIVA asked us to go through our "old" tiles and to remix one to give it a new shape.

I found one which I did not finish yet because I did not like it. I started with some gold leaf and added some tangles with a silver pen.
Today I decided to give this tile a new chance and drew on it with a white gel pen, started to rework on the silver part (which was too heavy and too grey for my opinion) and finished with white tangles in the upper area.

 

Joeys Weekly Tangle Challenge #118 - Maryhill

Diese Woche präsentiert uns Joey einen weiteren kreisförmigen String und die Aufgabe ist, das Tangle Maryhill zu zeichnen, allerdings NICHT im inneren Kreis.
Wer meinen Blog verfolgt, weiß dass ich ein bisschen fußballverrückt bin.
Während ich dieses Tile zeichne, spielt die deutsche Fußball Nationalmannshaft gerade im EM Achtelfinale. Daher habe ich auf schwarzem Untergund gezeichnet und mit dem Goldstift begonnen.
Eigentlich war das Tile schon fertig und eingesannt, als das 3:0 fiel - mein Tipp!! Daher habe ich spontan noch etwas Rot ergänzt, um die deutschen Farben zu komplettieren 😊

Joey presented another circular string and the challenge is to draw the tangle Maryhill, but NOT in the inner circle.
Who is following my blog, knows that I am enthisiastic soccer fan.
While I am tangling this tile the German Soccer Team is fightinig in the European Championship to get in the Quarter Final. This is the reason why I tangle on a black tile and drew the string in gold. I finished the tile and scanned it.
Just in this moment they scored the 3:0 (my bet!!) and I decided to add a little red to accomplish the German colors 😄.
