hi there! don't we just love a good challenge?

I'm Kimberley but aka Kimmie online. I found out about zentangle over the summer [getting online through my phone] and I've been hooked on since. I didn't have internet for several months until now but I've been tangling away offline. I even started an album for them recently [shown below!]. I'm doing one (or sometimes even more, it depends on the time I have) daily! I'm currently saving up to buy the official zentangle kit [i really don't understand how i forgot to mention this at Christmas time!] so until then, I made my own cards/tiles that are 4x6 that are a perfect fit for these albums! :]



Starting these challenges have made me even MORE excited to make them. I especially love the "eyes wide shut" challenge because it definitely allows me to just do whatever and REALLY express myself, rather than calculating what should I do.

I've had an account with blogger for a while but I've never really got it going, especially with LIFE happening, but everything happens for a reason and I'm excited to start sharing!

here's my take on challenge number four

challenge number three :]

 challenge number two

 challenger number one!

  2. Your tiles are wonderful, so flowing and creative. It does seem that you have truly been bit by the zentangle bug (a good thing). I love your idea of the little album to keep your challenge entries together.

  16. Hi Kimmie - I love your tangles and can't believe that you are just a beginner! Amazing... maybe there is hope for me yet. I was wondering what kind of paper you used to make your own tiles? I'd like to try some better paper and see if that helps me.
