Diva Weekly Challenge # 187

This challenge was to draw the string with your eyes shut.  I did that then doubled the line.  I used Bubbles, Bales, W2 and Pais.

K for Keith

I started this on the BC Ferry on the way to Vancouver to visit Keith.  Keith's birthday is in a month.

Fifth Watercolour Card

This is the 5th watercolour card out of package of 10.  The flower design is from a book "Colored Pencil Explorations by Janie Gildow.  I used watercolour pencil crayons and micron pens for this.

Acrylic Ink Background

I started this tile at the Wednesday painters then finished it at home.  It has an acrylic ink background.  I didn't do much shading as I figured it would take away from the colour wash in the background.

Watercolour Card # 4

This is the fourth watercolour card I have done.  I have 6 more to go because I bought a package of 10.  Yesterday I went and sat in with the Wednesday painters in town and this is what I did.  I used watercolour pencil crayons for the colour.

Diva Weekly Challenge # 186

I have a template for a leaf shape so used that 3 times.  I used Tagh, Flukes, Baton and Betweed.  The leaves in my area haven't started to change colour yet so I used a lot of green, starting with a green watercolour background tile.   The challenge this week is called "String Theory - Leaves! Leaves! Leaves!"

3 Flowers Card

I had previously drawn these flowers so decided to put them on one of the watercolour cards that I had bought some time ago.  I will try a few more with this theme.  I may do the watercolour pencil crayons next time.

"N" String

This is the "W" or "N" string challenge from my new book "Pattern Play" A Zentangle Creativity Booster written and illustrated by Chris Letourneau, CZT and Sonja Yencer, CZT.  The Tangles used are Crescent Moon, Hollibaugh, Tipple and Static.  I used a tile that I had put a watercolour splash background on.

It's a String Thing # 58

This challenge was to use Tangle Patterns String 058 by Sue Agnew.  I chose Girlande by Simone Bischoff, Girdy by Karl Stewart and Gingham by Margaret Bremner.

Curvy Ing

I used Ing and Curved the lines.  I got the idea from Margaret Bremner's Blog - Enthuastic Artist.  I used  a beige watercolour paper, a black and a blue micron pen and some watercolour pencil crayons.

Diva Weekly Challenge # 185

The Diva Weekly Challenge this week is a duo Tangle - Phicops vs Diva Dance.  I started with a tile that I had put a wash on with acrylic inks.  This seems to be a variation of Phicops as the right sides are folded under at a different angle.

Diva Weekly Challenge # 184 - 2

I started with an acrylic ink wash background then added Ing, Pais and some Tipple.

Diva Weekly Challenge # 184

This challenge was to draw the new Official Tangle ING by Molly Hollibaugh.  I drew two of them then added some rounding.  I filled in the background with Hollibaugh with Zingers on the ends.  I then added Printemps, Tipple and some lines and back in some of the shapes.  I added some Fescu to the stems of the Zingers.

Diva Weekly Challenge # 183

I drew this tangle correctly in my sketch book but then when I was doing it on the tile I somehow got it wrong  I continued with it anyways and this is what I ended up with.  I will have to try it again.  I haven't been Zentangling lately so will have to try and get back some of my enthusiasm.

The shading is done with sepia and brown conte and the background for the orbs is done with a #1 brown Pigma micron pen.
