All boxed up.

Hello, Hello, my zenfriends,
What a wonderfull challenge from DivaCZT. Please check her blog and watch the beautiful tiles created by everybody that singed up for this week challenge.
So, we have to use All Boxed up, a very intersting pattern created by Alice Hendon.
Oh, well, this is my entry for thsi week. I used All boxed up, Hollibaugh, Bales, Balo, Plait and some   circles on black background.

My first swap.

Hello, hello my zen friends.
I signed up for the first swap in my life. Here, in my country ATC and swaps are not usual. Actually, nobody knows about theme and nobody practice them. But, I found a wonderful international 2 phases Swap, hosted by a very talented lady, who was so kind to receive me on board even if I am a newbie.
The idea for the first stage is to draw only the borders, and in the second phase, the receiver will tangle the middle and send the 2 ATC to a new partner.
I think it is a great idea, and I wanted to share with you my 2 entries for this first phase of the swap:

So, what do you think?

Something from the weekend and a question for my zen friends.

Hello, hello my dear zen friends!
I wanted to show you what I did this weekend. I needed to practice a little more, to discover new patterns, to learn how to add shadows and light, how to add perspective. But, must of all, I wanted to relax, to take the most out of the sunny days, of the smell of my peonies. I do not have a garden, so I always buy flowers from the old ladies that I find in the corner of the streets, on my way home or on my way to the office.
And I wanted to share with you the music that inspired and calmed me in this weekend: fado. Here it is the song I have listened on "repeat"while I was zentangling:

I shared those with my friends on Facebook, so I had to give them a name.
