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.

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!

Apparently I'm running behind on the challenges. This zendala was created for last week's post at The Bright Owl - see link on right.

Weekly Challenge #117

This week the challenge is to use the new tangle, Schway. Luckily I was already practising this tangle when I saw it posted. Here are my test runs.

I also had a blank string ready on my next sketchbook page, so I went with that.
