"Here Comes the Sun"

The days are getting longer.  We are getting 5 hours of sunlight in the NWT.  Jay is getting 6 hours in Edmonton.

Here are our zentangles to celebrate the sun:

Challenge #18 The Winter Solstice

Both my sister and I have moved farther north then we have ever lived.  Jay is in northern Alberta and I am in the Northwest Territories.  Our days have gotten shorter and shorter and next Saturday is the shortest day of the year.  Here is a picture from our house at 12 noon, last week.

That is as high as the sun got on that day.  This week it will be even lower!

So our challenge this week is to celebrate the sun and all its beauty.  And next week the days will start getting longer.  Yeahhhhhh...

Border Zentangle

Here are our border zentangles.  Borders are fun to do because the space is small and easy to fill.

This is mine:

Here is Jay's:

Challenge #17 Borders

The challenge this week is to create borders within borders. There are lots of patterns for tangled borders on line.  We don't want to hem you in, we just want you to play with some borders.

Choose a Letter

Here are the results of this week's challenge.  For some reason I chose the letter X.  There are only about 4 tangle patterns for this letter so I thought I better use some colour to liven it up.  Jay chose S, which has lots of tangles.  She tried to use tangles that she hadn't used before.

Here is mine with the tangle patterns, X, xenso and XYP.

Here is Jay's with tangle patterns written at the bottom of the picture.

Tangle patterns: stoic, scrumble, spaamanders, star map, swarm, sugarcane, striping, semaphore, and strircles (for those people who don't have their glasses handy).
