It feels like there's been no time between the last challenge and this one... but that's because I was very late getting going on Socc! But I'm on holiday this week!! And this week's challenge was SOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!!
Welcome to the Mickey Challenge, set by guest challenger, Courtney Frantz.
In this challenge Courtney challenges us to do a Mickey Mouse inspired tile, as November 18th is Mickey's birthday - the day Steamboat Willie was released.
So I started with overlapping Ms to form my string:
And then I watched Steamboat Willie which is posted on the challenge and was inspired! I even came up with a new tangle (at least I think it's new... please tell me if you know otherwise) based on the big bow Minnie often wears.
As I said.... SOOOOOOOO much fun.
Update - 13th October
Here are the instructions for Minnie's Bows: Minnie - New Tangle
Happy tangling...

So much fun in this tile! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBones, bows and everything together creates a bountiful tile.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I can see you really enjoyed it. I love both the B&W and the colored version. Great symbols for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love the Mickey heads all over the place! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteGreta Claire! Like Sandy, I love the Mickey heads.
ReplyDeleteHaha--I love this!! You definitely had fun and I love all your designs! I need to get cracking on this challenge!
ReplyDeleteOOOHHH! great way to start the design! what a good idea! i am fairly new to zentangles and thinking of trying the challenge....love your finished piece!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The bows are really cute, and I love the Mickey heads... It's great to see the process - the shading then the color - both are terrific, but the color adds a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love them! But yes I agree... The colored one is the best!
ReplyDeleteDelightful! You had such a good time with this and the color is the cherry on top. (Love Minnie's bow).
ReplyDeleteI think the Mickey heads might be a new tangle too. The whole tile is adorable, both in black and white and in color.
ReplyDeleteI just love the bows, first time I've seen a tangle like that. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThe bows are great!
ReplyDeleteReally like the colored version. Great job! Your tile is so fanciful!
ReplyDeleteClaire you did a perfect job on the challenge. Great explanation of using the MM string and your developing proces. The colored version is really great. Wel done !
