Day 13 of Inktober and 31 Products Challenge #inktober #inktober2018 #31productschallenge #hahnemühle

 A lot has happened since I posted last.

My computer died.

Bought a new computer. 

Book publisher died.

Looking for a new book publisher.

Blog commenting isn't my fault.

Blogger is messed up.

Looking for a new blogging site. 

Is that how you spell "site?"

Back to art-ing.

Above is day 13 of Inktober, 2018.

The tangle pattern was a new one to me,

a fun one with lots of flexibility.

From Eni Oken - it is called zello. 

Tangled on a Hahnemühle YouTangle.art Tile

with a Zensations Technical Pen

from Zebra Pens. 

Love it all!

 And we move on to day #13 of the

31 Products Challenge!

I did do some work on this each day

this month, I just haven't posted them

all here. There will be a massive

post at the end of the project.

Promise, with lots of photos!

Today I used Caran D'Ache Neocolor

Watersoluble pastels to make marks.

Circles, lines, smudges.

It was highly satisfying. 

Hahahaha!

Close up of a small section.

Those purple circles are what I added today.

No idea at all where I will be going with

this next. But I know it will be fun!

Days 6 and 7 of Inktober #inktober #inktober2018 #inktobertaa #hahnemühle #31productschallenge #zebrapenusa

 Really happy with the way this tile turned out!

I made the background color with 

Ranger Distress Ink pads,

just kind of scrubbed them around on the paper.

That would be a YouTangle.art Tile from

Hahnemühle.

(And they are working out great for this Inktober!)

The patterns I tangled are O-cee and Onamato.

Just the two.

I thought they worked very well with the

beautiful colors in the background.

I used a Zensations Technical Pen from Zebra Pens.

They work great on these tiles,

and on top of the distress inks.

We are doing Inktober together as a group

over on Facebook at

Tangle All Around.

Want to join us?

It isn't too late - 

it isn't too late until it's November -

join us here.

Want to pick up some of these awesome

YouTangle.art Tiles?

You can do that here. 

 Another program I am working with this October

is the 31 Products Challenge.

The thought is to pull all those art supplies

out of the closet - you know we all have them -

and use a different product each day this month.

I am working on a 12" x 24" art canvas.

Above is what I did on day 6.

(I think I am working too hard and fast and will

be done before day 31 is here.

Ranger Distress Ink pads.

Used them to scuff up those collage pieces

and swipe some color here and there.

Interested?

You can check out the 31 Products Challenge here.

I am in another group on Facebook called

ATC Trades and Jams.

One of the events going on right now

is the letter D swap.

We make 2 ATCs to trade with someone in the

group - based on the letter D.

This shows the bare bones of my ATC.

I will show you the original after it makes

its way to its new owner. 

Just a reminder - if you try to leave a comment

and I don't reply it is because blogger is not

sending me notifications of comments

and they are not showing up in the 

moderation area of the blog. 

I still love you!

I just can't tell you.

Oh wait, I just did!

Have a great day!

Day 3 Arting is Happening Now #hahnemühle #zebrapenus #inktober2018 #31productschallenge

 Day 3 of Inktober and I'm still going strong. 

Hahahahaha!

The art for day 3 was done on a

YouTangle.art Tile from Hahnemühle.

I used distress oxide ink pads from Ranger

and scraped on color, as well as rubbed 

the tile in a watered down version on 

a craft mat. The tangle for the day is ballace.

That is the one done in the round.

The other tangle I added is gnarly.

A fun and forgiving tangle that can be

done in just about any configuration you wish.

My Facebook group Tangle All Around is doing

Inktober together. Want to join us?

Just click here.

So I'm also doing the 31 Products Challenge.

I loved the way this large canvas looked prior

to today. Now I am just not sure. 

The thought is to use a different product each 

day for the entire month of October. 

I opted to use this 12" x 24" canvas.

I will look at it again tomorrow and if I hate

this, you will be seeing a bunch of white

on it tomorrow. Hahahahaha!

For some reason I can not get a true color

photo of this.

It is fluorescent pink, purple, and yellow on a

white background. Today I used craft paints

(cheap ones) to add some messy marks.

The blue and yellow ones are glow in the dark.

Heheheheh! 

Time will tell.

Day Two of Inktober #inktober #inktober2018 #intobertaa #hahnemühle #zensationschallenge #31productschallenge #zebrapen_us

 Day two of Inktober, 2018, 

is a done deal.

I have tried to photograph this piece of art

several times, I even scanned it and it still looks

out of focus to me. Strange.

Anyway, the tangle pattern we are focusing on 

today comes from Barbara Steyer and it's 

called Baecube. Those cubes are offset and they

look hard, but they are really easy to do with the

step-out she created. 

For Inktober I am using YouTangle.art Tiles

from Hahnemühle.

I prepped this tile using Tim Holtz' Distress Inks.

I tangled with a Zensations Technical Pen from

Zebra Pen where I am an Artist Ambassador,

then shaded using my Derwent Inktense 

watercolor pencils.

So much fun!!!

Why don't you try baecube and see

what you think. 

Birgit Koopsen is hosting a 

31 Products Challenge,

where we use a different art product for

31 days in a row throughout the month

of October. Some people are doing a

different project daily.

I am too busy for that, so I opted for

a largish canvas that I will add to each day.

Above you see what I did yesterday.

I used some Pebeo High Viscosity Acrylic Paints

and a brayer to slap on some color.

I really love it at this point,

but I am going to make myself continue.
