Blox - A New Pattern

Blox - there are other wall tangles out there, but I haven't seen one exactly like this. I've used it in steampunk, but also as background and filler. Here are some ideas:

Above is a variation of blox - simply leaving out the corners.

This is one of my favorites! It was also one of the very first pictures I drew in the zentangle manner.
Have fun with this pattern - I'd love to see what you come up with! And please feel free to pin Blox to your pinterest boards :).

Zendala Dare #7 - Catching Up!

I don't like being behind and I don't want to skip a challenge. I have a list of what I need to do and I'm knocking them out one-by-one. This is my first response to last week's zendala dare at The Bright Owl. Actually, it was my second response, but my favorite so I'm pushing it to the front of the line :). As far as patterns - I used paradox and made up the rest. Then I watercolored with derwent inktense pencils - my favorite art supply at the moment.

This is how things work. Erin at The Bright Owl posts a blank zendala each Friday, then we take it and create a work of art with it! Above is the blank she gave us this week.

This was my first response. Recently I hit the junkpot at Michael's. On the clearance row they had some scrapbook supplies. And in that bin were packages  of 60 (I think it's 60) round tiles. I bought a package of all white tiles and a package of various colored tiles for $0.99 each. Once you add in tax, it cost me about $2.00 to be able to create 120 works of art :). What a deal! So, for this zendala I used a hot pink tile and the patterns weave, skein, vortex, and Msst. Check out all our art contributions here at The Bright Owl. It isn't too late to add one of your own!
