Happy Monday morning everyone.
i'm not sure if it's after effects from the Super Moon, but we've been having some spectacular sunrises and sunsets lately. There's a reason they call Saskatchewan the Land of the Living Skies... no?
gorgeous
for the first week of October, we've had some absolutely gorgeous weather, and i've been taking advantage of it while the boys are in school, and getting a few miles in here and there. One of the things that really helps me while i run is actually the Zentangle motto: anything is possible, one step at a time. And sometimes, quite literally, i'm only thinking about the step that i'm in and the immediate next step. Somehow i manage to get from point A to point B.
The weekend, though, was rainy and cold - so there was a lot of playing in the house.
rawwrr

Weekly Challenge #238: "UMT - Tri-bee by Beate Winkler, CZT"
This months Use My Tangle is called Tri-Bee by my lovely friend Beate Winkler from Germany.
Beate and i met in Providence last spring for the 15th CZT seminar. She's so cheerful and wonderful. She shared a new tangle with us this week and i fell in love with it and wanted to share it with all of you.
I had a great time playing with Tri-Bee and i know you will too.

I started to read the challenge and I thought 'hang on we usually do Use My Tsngle st the beginning of s month I wonder why we are doing it today.' Then I realised - it is the beginning of the month already !!!!
So nice pattern! I will use it further on! It is just flowing! And as a coinsidence, I got Beate Winklers book: Das grosse Zentangle-Buch with the mail a few days ago!
Yes Laura, I think your tile is exceptionally beautiful. Love this new pattern, I do. It will probably find its way into my frequently used patterns department.
Congrats for your 5000 in Facebook!!! I love your page, and your challenge, although I never post my tiles here... but never it's too late to start something new, so... I'l send mmy Tri-Bee tile. (you had good eye, chosing this one!) Regards from Spain, Maria Tovar CZT 14
Oh this was so much fun!! I want to keep playing with this tangle!! Thank you Laura and Beate for sharing with us! Laura I love your tile!! I never use Renaissance tiles but every time I see one tangle I just get inspired to try it!! Beautiful!! :0) Annette
This wonderful pattern Tri-Bee is following me. All week. In my class today I showed my pupils and then they couldn´t stop doing it! When they finished a tile they wrote a poem to it. I tell you they did great! So here comes my third post, which I made while they were working!
Thanks, Audrie. I´m happy you like Tri-Bee - and hope to see more. Best greetings Beate
To all: I would love to put a generell comment as you all wonderful artists did - but I don´t know why, but I can´t see just this reply-box - but no box to put in a generell note. Thank you all, you made my day - every day this week. I´m honored, grateful and speechless about all this wonderful tile-creations you did instantly with the newborn Tri-Bee. Happy day. Best wishes Beate Winkler
