On the fifth day of 3Zs . . .



On the fifth day of 3Zs
Bijou wrapped for me
Gold, glowing tipples . . .


Some marasu encircling,
Winsome bits of shattuck,
Fetching diva dancing,
And a tile full of tripoli!


Although Bijou insists on not being photographed, Alfie sensed that Bijou was a bit irked at being left out of the photo shoots. So we all talked with Bijou and (s)he consented to pose so that Maria could create a portrait.


Alfie arranged all the 3Z tiles we've done so far into a mosaic and he loves appreciating how they all fit together so beautifully.



-----+-----

Thank you all for continuing to play with these twelve days!

The hashtag for today's tile is: #5thdayof3zs

For tangling today's tipple, we used a brown Micron® 01 and a Metallic Gold GellyRoll®. We'll keep that tradition throughout the rest of the tiles when tangling tipple . . . just like in the song!

To see the guidelines for these 12 days, go here.

We will give out a prize for one randomly chosen poster of each day's tiles on the app and also for one randomly chosen commenter on each day's blog post. (We'll announce the winners shortly after the twelfth day.)

And here's tipple:


See you tomorrow!

Back to my journal for this awesome challenge till then, I go! Maybe a little tipple of wine this evening for when I tangle tipple!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think the "gender neutral" pronoun "ZE" would be perfect for our little friend Bijou!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Such a lovely, simple tangle... great for filling in between tangles too! Perfect for day 5!

    ReplyDelete

  29. Alfie and Bijou are doing wonderful work in presenting the tiles! I think that sometimes we forget that "simple" tangle like Tipple can be so dramatic and eye catching. Thanks for the beautiful reminders.

    ReplyDelete

  34. I'm glad Bijou has come to the party with his/her portrait. I was missing him. I hope everyone at ZTHQ enjoy a good tipple as you look through all the amazing tiles for the 12 days of 3Z.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow! Gorgeous. I love Tipple and use it everywhere, but I've never used gold. Thank you for all of the wonderful eye candy and inspiration.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Excited to add tipple, which is always so easy to do!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I just wanted to take a moment and commend Alfie on how well he is doing presenting the tiles. Kudos on convincing Bijou to have his portrait taken. I know he is shy. I am off to tipple.

    ReplyDelete

  42. Tipple always rounds things off nicely!

    ReplyDelete
  43. That really warms (spices?)things up beautifully --- nice complement!

    ReplyDelete
  44. So many glorious possibilities! I haven't looked at the app yet to see all the golden tipples! (I won't say what my auto correct always changes tipple to, but this time it really made me laugh!)

    ReplyDelete
  45. I've loved experimenting with gold on many tangles, whether a gold gelly or when truly adventurous, gold leaf, it truly adds a wonderful dimension to tangles!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Just keep these coming. So cool!

    ReplyDelete
  47. The 3Zs are so cool! Can't wait to try some!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Getting more interesting now! can't wait to see all 3zs.

    ReplyDelete

  55. Love the use if brown and gold with tipple!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I am having so much fun doing these 12 days, but I cannot get the app on my tablet,(the app is not compatible with my version) so I also cannot see what others do on the mosaic.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Awesome! Tipple is one that I use a lot! Love the adding of gold color! You have two great helpers too! Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wow the gold really added pizzazz to that tipple! Great idea- thanks for continuing this holiday tradition and bringing this daily dose of beauty to our days.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Very beautiful! Where could someone buy a book like the one pictured with the gold leaf edges?

    ReplyDelete
  60. I like how this is building and building and the addition of tipple is sweet !

  61. APRIL BLACK: It is a very old book that has been in the family. SO you would inherit it or buy it in an antique book shop. It is 10" x 12" and about 4- 5 inches thick. It is not blank. Maria

  62. They just get better and better. It is like opening an advent calendar. It is so hard to wait to see what the next one will look like! Thanks for sharing...

    ReplyDelete
  63. I love Alfie's shadow holding Bijou. Even if (s)he doesn't want to be seen, (s)he is lovingly held and supported by everyone in this community. Beautiful necklace, by the way.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Love it! 😍😍😍

    ReplyDelete
  65. Tipple really shows the benefits of slowing down. If I rush it there's load of little tags and it looks a mess. Slower, and it becomes something quite elegant. Although in brown ink I couldn't stop thinking of bubbly chocolate!

    ReplyDelete
  66. The days are passing too quickly. 12 days is just not enough of 3Zs.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Love tipple and the gold just makes it glow. The way the tiles fit together is really interesting and could also be done as "ing" I would think.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I love the gold mixed in with the black and white. So pretty. I'm excited to see what the mosaic will look like on the 12th day.

    ReplyDelete
  69. The gold glowing tipples are gorgeous!

  70. CIRCLES ARE MY FAVOURITE! THEY FIND THEIR WAY INTO EVERYTHING!

  71. Nice to see your portrait Bijou, c'est magnifique! Aloes, that's about what I can manage written..........
    You do bring your own inimitable character to bear on proceedings Bijou & great that you & Alfie are having such fun with these new tiles. Tipple adorned, who'd have thought such a small simple something could have such an impact - a bit like you Bijou, eh? Not to say that you're simple.......... think I'll go dig myself another hole somewhere else......... (that I think is an English turn of phrase)

    ReplyDelete
  72. I just love this! How much fun! And what an elegant job Bijou has done.

    ReplyDelete
  73. The golden rings really make it pop. This is so fun, and I'm already singing the tangly version of the song.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Tipple with metallic color is lovely! :)

  75. Tipple with metallic color is lovely! :)

  76. So beautiful with the color added. OMGoodness.......!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Tipple looks so pretty in gold. I love the way Alfie is arranging the tiles.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Not one I tend to think of as its own tangle. It usually finds its way into other tangles.
