Weekly Challenge #268: "A bit-o-black"

This week's Diva Challenge is to use a bit of black in your tangle. This is probably more than the bit she was talking about....

but I never was one to follow instructions.I also run with scissors, don't play well with others and cry heartily over spilled milk-that's just how I roll. 

It was good to do a challenge again. Haven't felt much like joining anything in any sense of the word as of late, but I'm sure it will pass. My success rate for surviving sucky things is 100% so far. I'm sure I'll survive the hole in my heart and house that Ben left too. 

I did take a Zentangle class with friend-Janice last week. It was one of Katie Butler's that I had taken before on the use of 'Whimsical' patterns. Left to my own devices I tend to veer towards geometrical, symmetric patterns, but whimsical is right up Janice's alley! She hasn't been tangling long but has a distinct, flow-y, flowery flair and she totally rocked the class. She sent me a pic of this tile that she did after class.  
Isn't it awesome!? I hope she keeps taking classes with Katie! She's a natural!

Wonderful job with your tile, great shading. Fun to see your style contrasted with your friend's.
I don't think it is too much black, what a dramatic tile, I love the bee in black too.

No, not too much black at all. I love those shadows you added on the top and the shimmer on the lower tangles. Nice pieces! And, yes, you will survive. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Sending hugs.

Gorgeous tile! I especially love that dragonfly;-)
Your tile is beautiful.
You picked some complex tangles for this one. Definitely no problem with the amount of black and you went beyond and added shading that makes it even more interesting.

PS; I read a few of your non-Diva posts. Nice.
