Weekly Challenge #291

Spooky Morning one and all!!

This week at Casa Diva - i had the extreme pleasure of 'doing a zentangle' with my very handsome 6yo.   He was very studious about the whole process and wrote down all the steps in his notebook so he wouldn't forget.

Learning the ropes

"Zentangle practice
dots
border
string
Tangle
Chop"

 I seriously had all the prouds after that one, and the look of pride of his face makes my heart happy.

STRIKES!!

This weekend Chewie's bowling league had dress up bowling, for Halloween, and both Chewie and his friend E won prizes for their costumes.  They both even got strikes this week!  It was a happy time, indeed!

Today, being Halloween, the boys will dress up for school and have Halloween parties in their classroom - Artoo told me he wanted to be Spiderman, except he doesn't want to wear any costume, he just wants to wear regular Artoo clothes and have his face painted like Spiderman - okay.  i can do that.  And Chewie is going as a Skeleton.  So, i should have some fun pictures to share next week.  Stay Tuned!!

But here are the boys' jack o' lanterns! We carved the yesterday morning.  Each boy drew a face on their pumpkin and i helped them carve out the bits.  I think they did great jobs.

Two thumbs up

 Weekly Challenge #291: "Happy Halloween!"
For whatever reason, this year by boys have been going around shouting "Happy Hallowed Weenie" and then giggling hysterically.  Fortunately, for me, they were giggling about Hot Dogs.  So.  That's good. lol

This week's challenge is to create a Halloween themed tile.  (If that's not something you take part in or you're into, you can also do a white on black tile - and use a white gelly roll pen on a black tile, or other dark paper.)

Hello, Little Spider  

It's wasn't until i started writing my blog post that i realized that i also sort of did spiderwebs last week.  oops.  Oh well, it's a different tangle this time.  :)
For my tile, i used a black prestrung zendala tile, and i painted a bit of white fountain pen ink onto the middle sections and let it dry before tangling on it with my back micron, for the rest of the tile, i just used my gelly roll.

**remember** when using the white gelly roll, it helps to go slowly, and i find almost dabbing the ink onto the paper helps to keep it's opaque look.

I hope you all have a great halloween!

See you next week!
