Beads for Bravery

This week's Diva Challenge is to do a tangle inspired by the Beads of Courage organization and their work helping ill children.  Wow.  Seeing tangible evidence of all of their bravery is humbling.  I will be saying prayers for little Artoo and the others being helped by this organization.
'nZepple, Jetties, "sez", and beads

This tangle was also inspired by Sandy Steen Bartholomew's gorgeous spider web. As soon as I saw hers, I knew I wanted to make one too.  And, when a student in last weekend's Zentangle 101 class commented about the "spiderwebs" that are part of 'nzepple, I knew I needed to use it.

Wishing you enough courage to get you through the week and hoping you won't need to use it.

--Cris

      No spiders - just the web :-) Thought about putting in a spider, but didn't want to get too literal. Thanks.

    The shading is great, it really makes your string of beads pop... and Nzeppel is a favourite of mine - love how you used it!
