Zendala

Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying the week.  The weather here is gorgeous so we have been able to spend time in our new small gardens.  While they are so much smaller than I'm used to, they still need work and more plants.  

While on vacation my talented Tante (Aunt) taught me how to draw circles to create Mandalas.  It's so relaxing to draw and colour them and one I turned into a Zendala.   It's a simple design as I haven't been practicing Zentangle in a while, but I love drawing them. 

I used Inktense pencils to add some colour when I returned home.  I didn't have my crafting supplies with me.  That would have required 10 suitcases !

Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend,

Zentangle Twinchie

Hello everyone, I'm finding my mind is going back to those tiny pieces of artwork called Twinchies.   I can see this could be come a habit-forming :)   I thought it would be fun to do a teeny tiny Zentangle and since the current challege is Anything Goes at Show us your Twinchies Challenge Blog now is the time to try !  
   

  
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.
