Weekly Challenge #93: New Official Tangle "Bunzo"

I am sitting here in my house riding out Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy. I have friends here with me, one who has to be in the city tomorrow so she came here to stay (from rural WV) overnight.  There are 2 others that live with me to share rent, utilities etc. We all get along great, kind of stick to ourselves and come together to do stuff occasionally. It's fun. It works.
I've had others live with me and it was difficult.  This is probably the best arrangement I've ever had, I really enjoy the couple here. So I have to eat Gluten free, and they love to cook. (And might I say she is  a FANTASTIC cook!!) and they accommodate me as much as possible. It's really fantastic because when I have to convert recipes I have more difficulty getting textures. Of course now that there are SO MANY MORE choices to assist in cooking from scratch, it makes it much easier. But of course, Emily is a good cook so she seems to be doing all the work. And so, to make a long story short, she fixed gluten free chicken and dumplings tonight. PERFECT for a stormy cold night....and it was DELICIOUS!
So, here in Winchester, VA, we're doing ok. it's cold, rainy and the wind is blowing hard but we're cozy and warm watching movies. I love to draw when I'm sitting watching tv, it seems to be my best time to zone out. So this week's challenge is BUNZO.  It took me approximately 3 - 4 hours to do it. I have trouble when I draw for long periods that I have to stop and rest because my hand gets cramped. my right hand is my weaker one, so it takes me more time. I added, I think, SEZ pattern in here too.
So, here's my challenge for this week. I'm going to try to keep posting them each week. I tend to forget and get sidetracked. So, hopefully I can remember.
If you're reading this and you're in the storm too, please be careful, stay safe and warm. Blessings!

Zentangle

I've been working on many different zentangles, although I have to say I haven't posted many of them. Some are duplicates of others, because it's how I learn - by imitation. So if this is your pattern and I've copied, please let me know and I will give credit where credit is due. I deconstruct things and then try putting it back together in order to figure out how to do it.

I have been unemployed for about a month now. It was a difficult decision to make and now that my money is running short, I'm hoping I don't regret giving up the drama for peace of mind....as my wallet sputters moths....!

I have to say at first I was totally blocked and couldn't get any art to come out of my head. It was like an artists block. However, it seems I've overcome it and am drawing all the time now.!

I'm uploading my various tangles. I hope you like them! This first one I criss-crossed strings all over the place to challenge myself.

This one, my daughter closed her eyes and scribbled all over and said "there, try that one!"

Well, it is is....I did it in a purple ink since she loves the color purple. (Did I mention she is 20?) This one is my latest...
