Diva challenge #68, quotes
The Diva's challenge this week is to use duo tangles: Hybrid & Stricircles. A fun challenge for me as I really like both tangles, so I made two this week:

Flowering bush, zentangle, quote
Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization. -Lincoln Steffens
I don't know what kind of bush this is, but it's beautiful. It's located in one of our neighbor's yard and she didn't know the name of it either. If you know what kind of bush this is, please let know.

Fun photo, fun zentangle, fun quote
"Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one." - Dr. Seuss
Last weekend, Bob and I attended our nephew's wedding. At the reception they had a photo booth, masks, etc. The bride and groom wanted us all to take fun photos in the booth as a memento of the day .
Bob needed a little persuasion, but finally he put on the mask and I quickly grabbed a mask for me. As you can see, he's very photogenic even in a mask and my photos are always awful even in a mask! But it was fun.

Challenge 66 by the Diva, quote
"The aura given out by a person or object is as much a part of them as their flesh."
Lucian Freud
This week's challenge by The Diva is to create a tile with auras. Again the pattern called Isoris is perfect for this challenge. I've also added variations of two of my tangle patterns; Itsy Twisty with it's ribbons twisting throughout the design and EEO in the background.

Beautiful April Days, zentangle, quote
"There is no glory in a star or blossom til looked upon by a loving eye; there is no fragrance in April breezes til breathed with joy as they wander by." -William C Bryant
We've had such beautiful weather this Spring. The flowers and trees have been bursting with color and the April breezes are delightful!

Dr. Seuss quote, zentangle
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
Dr. Seuss

Inspiration from friends!
Albert Schweitzer
Several friends and I meet on a semi-regular basis and via internet posts; we call ourselves "The Committee". Each of us have talents in several areas wether it be quilting, beading, drawing, fiber arts, etc.
We share ideas and have "show and tell" over a cup of coffee (diet coke for me). This is a personal thank you and tribute to my friends for sharing and helping me keep my creative flame "lit".
