Diva's Challenge #289: Leafy Goodness, Joey's #135, & Square One: Antique

The Diva's challenge this past week is Leafy Goodness, 

focusing on Autumn Leaves. But I live in the desert, 

and we don't have any real Autumn; at least in terms

of the wonderful colors we used to have when we lived

in the Midwest. So I had to come up with my own leaves.

I went online, and looked at images of autumn leaves

for inspiration. And this is what I came up with:

 Be sure to visit the Diva's site to see the other wonderful entries; it's amazing how different all the responses are. Maybe you'll be inspired to try out one of the Challenges yourself.

This week, Joey strayed away from her Finish My Tile

Challenges. I will really miss them; I enjoyed them immensely.

Instead, she posted this string:

along with these tangles:

Dicso, Drogon, and Msst, 

all of which I like.

So, here's mine:

Take a look at Joey’s site to see the other entries,
and maybe try one yourself.

And, last, for now:

 the most recent (until today) Focus tangle on Square One

is Antique. I finished the Antique part early in the week; but 

I struggled with how to finish it. Every day I would 

pick it up and play around with ideas, but nothing

seemed right. 

I don't normally object to white space; but this just

seemed unfinished. Until I decided to try Cheesecloth,

on the diagonal. That seemed to wotk; filled in 

the empty space without detracting from Antique. 

Check out the Square One/Purely Zentangle group
on Facebook and see all the other entries.
Square One has you going back to the basics.
Try it, you may like it.
