The background was cut from a piece of leftover watercolour using Tombow markers, water & salt . I can't part with any of the leftovers. I doodled a flower and then drew some Zentangle to fill it in and doodled the sentiment. I used a 005 pigment pen as the image is quite small. I layered the watercolour paper onto the black mat to give it a frame.
Below I show the measurement in Metric. Twinchies are a 2 inch or 5 centimetre square. It's SMALL ! One of my blogger friends tells me there are Inchies...oh my, that would be even more challenging.
I still intend to get back to creating cards and will be back soon. Thanks for your visits and kind comments, they are appreciated.

This is great Shirley. I knew you would find it fun to produce a work of art on the Twinchie .. being small it's not always easy! BTW I am buying some stamps from Ryn and went to her FB page and saw all your beautiful work! ... I left her a comment saying ... I know this ladies blog!! Her stamps are fabulous... I am going to get more!

Hi Shirley, Oh yes! I love your gorgeous zentangled twinchie, I've been bitten by the bug and will be posting soon LOL Keep up the great work :0) Gay xxx
Really marvelous work Shirley. It is so nice to tangle.
Lovely greet and hug

Well, now, talk about inspiring. I don't think I dare try the Zentangle because it feels intuitively like something that would suck me in, mentally, like literally. (Which probably makes no sense to anyone but me!) But this little twinchie/inchie thing does look intriguing. On the other hand, it must be really hard to hold it down and do such intricate work. And I do have that tremor ... In any case, yours is really, really beautiful!
P.S. Thanks for your birthday wishes!!
This is great Shirley, I have just started Zentangling, and I find it very relaxing. Love your coloured background. I did a tag for the CB Alpha swap uaing inchies, they are small!

Hi Shirley!
Hope your poor knee and finger is getting better!
Do I ever love these twinchies! Wow so interesting! You have made a beautiful one here, and with your own doodle! It is a very very beautiful flower! Very special as well with the zentangles drawn in yourself as well! Absolutely well done! My compliments!
Warm greetings, Marlene :)
Hey Shirley, I love your doodles! They always look like they were so much fun to make :) It's a good idea to save the watercolor backgrounds and reuse them in other work!
Gotta love those twinchies. I have never heard of them but the idea is intriguing. A great way to use up scraps and leftovers from other projects.
Such an arty twinchie! Love it. Really must have a go at zentangling! It's so effective xxx
Super colours & so effective. I'm finding it so interesting to see other people's approach to Zentangle, especially with respect to the Twinchie art form.
Thanks for this & your lovely encouraging comment. I'd not seen this when I entered.
