Latest Square One Tile

I combined some of the recent focus tangles in one tile:
Narwal, HeartSwell, Zonked, and Printemps 
This is the tile I submitted to Square One:
 But afterwards, I played around with the 
upper left-hand corner, and tried filling in the aura lines; 
first every other line:
and then every other line, alternating every other section; 
if that makes sense.
 I'm not quite sure which one is most effective;
so I'm presenting them all for your perusal.

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.

Diva's Challenge #256

The Diva's Challenge #256 is to create a Duotangle using 2 tangles by the Diva that she has named after her 2 sons:
Boo*Kee and Artoo.

Here is my interpretation:

 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.

It's a String Thing #132

For this week's It's a String Thing #132, 
we start with (naturally) String #132, by Jane Dickinson
 
 and these tangles:
Dillo by CZT Lori Manoogian
Tattle by CZT Milde Weiss
and
Tri-bine  by CZT Laura Liu

I tried to use all 3 tangles, but not only could I not fit 
Tattle into the mix; I couldn't get it to look decent, 
no matter how I tried.  I am curious to see how 
the other participants in this challenge made use of it.
So this is my tile, minus Tattle:
 Be sure to check out all the entries @ Tickled to Tangle, on Monday afternoon, when Adele Bruno posts them. The vast differences that can be achieved using the same tangles on the same string are truly incredible. And, if you've a mind to try a String Thing yourself, check back on Tuesday afternoon, 
when she offers the new ones.
