Each week Linda at Tangle Patterns gives us a string to tangle. I actually made two tiles today with string 005. Outer space is what I was thinking as I drew this first tile. And it's the first time I've drawn one of the little bean guys! I love it! I used patterns from Zentangle For Kids! (cootie, bean, botto, squid, jetties)
This is the string Linda gave us to use.
I also drew this second tile. I just went with the line separation provided by the string and filled the spaces. (organza, beaded, hurly burly, betweed, some auras, and sunz (my tangle)
This string was fun to use! I may pull it out again :). All color came from Derwent Inktense Pencils and some water :). If you want to join in on the string fun, visit Linda's page here!
Here is the string Linda gave us at Tangle Patterns this week. This string came from Sue Agnew. Our job was to take the string and add tangle patterns.
Ta-da! I added in: organza, ixorus, popsicles, beaded, tweety, and one of my own - sunz. I also shaded - which you can't see that well here, sorry. This was a lot of fun! Thanks, Sue! And thanks to Tangle Patterns and Linda!
This is the zendala Erin gave us this week. I was a bit apprehensive about this particular one. I like it to have a little more detail - it seemed too open.
This is what I came up with. I tried out several patterns I had not used before. And I pulled out mooka - which I've used once. I think I'll try this again later in the week and see what else I can come up with.
Patterns included: mooka, trentwith, flooka, tipple, and beaded. I went for just a touch of color and used a Sakura Gelly Roll pen in the color green star. Join us here to see everyone's zendalas. You can even post one of your own :).
Last week, Tangles and Stuff offered a journal prompt to make a tangle sampler, using your own tangles, new-to-you tangles, or ones you hadn't used in awhile. I had never done a tangle sampler before, so I really enjoyed this! I used a whole bunch of tangles - buttercup, krust, sippy, Msst, knase, beaded, hurly burly, zedbra, zuan shi, pickets, vache1, linQ, and cellu. All but one of these patterns were totally new to me. Of course I had to add some color and some sparkle with Pitt markers and At You Spica pens. So much fun!
This is what drawing looks like to me. My journal (in this case a smash journal,) a pencil, a stump, microns, and a bowl of Frosted Cheerios and dried cranberries! Yummo!
Tangles and Stuff seems to offer a different journal prompt each week. You can check it out here! And join us next week!
