zenuari2019 week 3, DC #383

Welcome to a new blogpost!

Let's continue with zenuari2019.

Day 15 "donut"
I'm so in love with printemps with weighted lines, as Jo Quincey showed on her blog! It's pretty and fun! Tangles: Printemps, Flory.

Day 16 "mini-tangles"
I've never done "african artist" by Tina Akua Hunziker, which was part of the full-moon-mosaic by Hanny Nura.  So here is my prep for it: tangle "african artist" done on a bijou-tile.

Day 17 "zendala"
A 2-in-1-tangle. My contribution to Hanny Nuras "Full-Moon-Mosaic" as well as day  17 of zenuari2019. My first zendala ever!
Tangles "african artist" by Tina-Akua Hunziker and "somnee" by Laura 'I-am-the-Diva' Harms.

Day 18 "snowflake"
Not so perfect, as nature can be.
Tangles "indirella" and "swarm", both by zentangle HQ.

Day 19 "hefty hack"
Oh, I really LOVE this one. I like the colours so much. Tangles "c-curve", "mak-rah-mee", "fescu" and some fun with "mooka".

Day 20 "maze"
Feels like life. Irregular, wonky and definatly not straight to the point.  :D

Day 21 "3Z"
First 3Z-tile I did. Tangles DivaDance rock'n'roll, pokeroot and tripoli.

And my contribution to DivaChallenge #383 "ratoon": I love this tangle, since I first saw it on instagram.

Have a lovely week!

Yours, anmato.

Have I mentioned, that my car broke down monday before christmas? You can't imagine,  what that ment to me! Bringing our christmas tree to our home WALKING and carrying Quarta same time, taking Tertia to kindergarden by tram, doing christmas shopping for meals for 6 persons on my own without a car, wich is for transport all the stuff?! I was so exhausted! Well, that's why I'm thrilled by presenting our new car. Yes, new. Never thought, I would buy a new car ever, but after having 4 really old cars in less than 2 years, I've had enough. It's a "dacia lodgy stepway" with 7 seats. And yes, it's cold out there!

As always: Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Yours, anmato.

zenuari2019 days 1-7 / DivaChallenges #380 + #381 / ZIA

Little late, but: Have a georgeous new jear!

We've gotten some healthy issues during christmas time, visites in hospital included.
But: new jear, new chances. Let's try our best.

Tertia ordered a new sleeping dress,  here it is:

It's an easy t-shirt, without arms,  a little longer and with a ruffle.  The fabric is a wonderful BIO-jersey by  stoffonkel. 

For Primus' christmas fiest, I did some little ZIA:

Those christmas ornaments are made of cornstarch- clay, dried and painted. 

I did my first template,  too:

  

Dear Santa brought me a renaissance-set for christmas:

While I was in Dresden, I visited an exhibition of renaissance paintings. It was very impressive!  Look at this foto I took, it's a sketch for a bowl:

See this wonderful little border down there?

I had to put it in my first renaissance-tile, acompanied by fife and pea-nuckle. 

I'm glad to take new chances, that's why I really enjoy "zenuari2019" presented by Anoeska Waardenburg. If you are following me on instagram, you may know these already.
