Zen Heart

I see everyone posting hearts, so I wanted to put one up, too.

Be Mine

Zentangle Inspired Art

Happened by The Diva's blog and thought the challenge would be fun. Here is my tangled Moebius strip using the tangle Jessicup.

This is an ATC ZIA I did earlier this week. I have been busy sewing lately and haven't been tangling as much, but it's easy to pick back up and get in the zone!

New year - new birds!

Distelfink

Created a new bird pattern for a distelfink

This could lead to lots of possibilities

Every Inchie Monday - Song

Another inchie!

For the theme of Song,

I thought of a song in my heart.

Every Inchie Monday Pocket Watch

Found another art blog to participate in = more fun!
Here are my pocket watches - there are three because of printer ink issues. I did a little image editing of a commercial photo to create my watch.

Monotangle Adventure #20

This week's tangle is Cockles-n-Mussels This has a great free-form flow to it. I'm posting this version with no shading because I'm planning to add pink and orange pencil - not sure how it will come out!

First a tiny version of Cockles-n-Mussels - this is a fun tangle!

And here is my shaded version of my first montangle.

Monotangle Adventure #19

Here's my tangle using the tangle cracked. It's another tangle with boring squares to fill, but with fun results!

Adventures in Monotangles #17

This is my monotangle done with Knight's Bridge. It's the simplest of tangles and can be used a thousand different ways.

And while I'm playing catch up, I finished my monotangle from two weeks ago using Cadent. Cadent is one of my favorites, but I had never used it in a monotangle. I added color to distinguish the layers.

Meanwhile I have also missed The Bright Owl's challenges - there are only so many hours in the day - especially after the 8 hours at work. But here is a free form mandala that I drew recently.

And I have another hobby that consumes my time - I have been sewing birds!

Adventures in Monotangles #14

This week's tangle is Hollibaugh. I'm not sure that coloring in the background is soothing - I'm thinking tedious. But the end result is rewarding!

Weekly Challenge #122

The Diva's challenge this week is to use a repeating square pattern.

I designed my own square and used it as a border and a curvy fill.

Weekly Challenge #121

The Diva's challenge this week is to use the tangle Birds on a Wire. This is a fun tangle made with a row of swooping swirls :D

  My practice tangles

And a full size drawing using the tangle

Adventures in Monotangles #12

The tangle for this week is called Verve. Here is my monotangle - I tried a different kind of string this time - one with some sort of shape :D And I added a bit of color, too.

Zendala Dare 60

This week the challenge is to redo a challenge template that was troublesome. Well, I had no issue picking out the worst, ugliest Zendala that I have posted. It was Dare 52 where part of the center was supposed to be replaced with Hollibaugh - instead of the 6 overlapping circles. Last time around, I drew a hot mess - LOL. This time I'm a LOT happier with the results!
