Challenge Catch Up: Diva 115, 117 & Monotangle 9

Hello All :) I have been rather busy lately and I'm obviously a bit behind on challenges. My potential job opportunity I mentioned previously didn't pan out :( BUT there is another one in the works. If this job doesn't come through for me I officially give up on the full time job front and I will instead focus on getting into grad school. I really want to do speech language pathology if I go that route. I was thinking of potentially becoming a speech teacher but I also really love sign language so I think it would be cool if I could find an area where I can work with deaf people on a daily basis. My ASL has gotten a little rusty but I pick it up extremely fast. Just need to find a local group to join. I'll add that to my never ending to-do list. On to the challenges:

I missed the deadline for the Diva challenge 115 but I've been wanting to do a landscape tangle for a while and Earth Day seemed like the perfect time to do it.

This was the first time I tried betweed and it gave me a few difficulties but I think I'll pick it up quickly. This one is going into my file to add color to later. I think it would make the layers stand out even more. I might try another landscape this week too. I really want to add more layers.







This week the Diva challenged us to use the new tangle Schway. Upon first look, I will admit, I was not a fan. I don't like arrows. I feel like I said the same thing a few weeks ago about stars. I also don't like hearts too much. Do I even like shapes?! Anyway, I was actually quite pleased with my results.

Ray over at Mindful Creations had us use 'NZeppel this week which has become a new personal favorite of mine. It even sneaked it's way into my Diva piece above. I had so much fun playing with it I have two entries for it this week but one of them in currently MIA. So instead I have the same piece twice!

It reminds me of stained glass so I decided to add color...

My phone takes terrible pictures. The digital camera is currently playing
hide and seek.

I am mentally exhausted today so I will try to switch out the photos for higher quality ones and add links to the tangles/bloggers tomorrow. Can't wait to see all the other entries!
