THE RAGGED RAY: December 2014
http://raggedray.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 20 December 2014. Simplicity is the key. And what could be simpler than Bales. Drawn out of a grid but following the lines to form a cluster of snowflakes shapes. Best wishes to my fellow tanglers for the festive season and the year ahead. May all your ink flow smoothly, and your pencil stay sharp, and may you find pleasing splashes of colour wherever you desire them! Sunday, 14 December 2014. Having submitted a very lively tile for this week's It's a String Thing. A new official tangle. Invite...

THE RAGGED RAY: a feast of flux
http://raggedray.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-feast-of-flux.html
Friday, 3 April 2015. A feast of flux. If I take the time to sit with one tangle, and really get to know it, drawing it over and over again, in new and/or similar ways, I always seem to get pleasing results. The simpler the tangle the broader the results. This happened when I worked with Flux on a previous Diva Challenge with these results. This week's Diva Challenge. Flux Framed - some with darkened centres,. And some slighty blotchy block shading. Puddle of Flux - dodging this way and that, with. Прико...

THE RAGGED RAY: January 2015
http://raggedray.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 16 January 2015. Off with a blast. What better way to come back to the wonderful world of Zentangle following my Christmas / New Year break than with a celebratory Diva Challenge. She had reached the 200 milestone and is still going strong! She invites us to use our go-to tangle and fill that tile! So I grabbed a brand new Micron (there is nothing quite like that smooth flow of darkest black ink! And went to work with Ticking. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Off with a blast. One Stroke at a Time.

THE RAGGED RAY: November 2014
http://raggedray.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 November 2014. In this week's guest Diva challenge. First off I started with Printemps. And placed it in a vaguely Florz. Inspired grid. I'm never that neat with this tangle, but I like the way it looks organic and lively and makes interesting and uneven shapes within the grid. Then I played with the wonderful Aquafleur. And had it wrapping around square sections within a parallel-line grid. I with I'd left those black orbs out but this is just a practice piece. And lastly I freed Ticking.

THE RAGGED RAY: send in the clowns
http://raggedray.blogspot.com/2015/07/send-in-clowns.html
Friday, 24 July 2015. Send in the clowns. On the surface it might appear that I have abandoned the wonderful world of Zentangle. Not so - I just haven't posted anything on my blog for a while. I've been mostly caught up making ATCs for the swap organised on the Facebook based group for art that is Stacked and Tangled. Now that they have safely arrived in Arizona I can turn my attention to other things. And one of my first stops is the latest Diva Challenge. 24 July 2015 at 17:01. 24 July 2015 at 17:19.

THE RAGGED RAY: March 2015
http://raggedray.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 March 2015. It's a spring thing too. I was also late in completing my tile for last week's It's a String Thing Challenge. So I thought I'd pop it here instead of it lurking, forever unseen, in one of my many hiding places for finished tiles! And so a weaving double-threaded string, blooming with little individual bursts of Mumsy, and Printemps patterned Kelp leaves. I can almost imagine looking out of the window and seeing this growing up and over the fence! A simple spiral of Jujubeedze.

THE RAGGED RAY: April 2015
http://raggedray.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 April 2015. It would have been so easy to get carried away by this week's Diva Challenge. I could have spent ages searching the house for exciting things to use to make my string, but then I would never have got to the tangling! Instead I grabbed the first thing that came to hand from the stationary drawer. And this is the result. A strange tulip? An owl perhaps, with Crescent Moon eyes and Onamato beak? Friday, 10 April 2015. Dream a little dream. For this week's Diva Challenge. If I take th...

THE RAGGED RAY: dream a little dream
http://raggedray.blogspot.com/2015/04/dream-little-dream.html
Friday, 10 April 2015. Dream a little dream. For this week's Diva Challenge. We were invited to use Fanz. I liked its shape straightaway, but couldn't find quite the right fill. I put a few down in my sketchbook, went away, came back, added a few more, tinkered and tried and then. suddenly I hit on this fill. And I loved the way it looked like wrought iron. And if we did, and we allowed things to grow up it, like Shelly Beauch's beautiful Wist. Maybe it would look a bit like this tile. A feast of flux.
