It's a string thing #100

celebrating adele bruno's 100th it's a string thing with a 100 inspired string, plus her new tangle 100 :)
The new tangle is so much fun. 
I loved doing the aquafleur one and the big one across the middle they are my 2 favourites and then they all discided to have a party at the bottom with as many variations as I could fit in ( they broke out of line too!) .
See Adele's challenges and tangles at her blog Tickledtotangle.blogspot.co.uk

Stacked in a circle

Over at the stacked and tangled FB page, the idea of the week #11 is stack within a circle. First I had to hunt around my house for a circle to draw around that fitted my tile. Tried a few different mugs before I found one that was just right :) 
I've added wavy lines as my string and put crescent moon, onamato and footlites in there. I like it a lot, you may be seeing more of these :)

More ATC's

These are for a watercolour swap over at the zentangle artist trading card swap page on FB. I must admit I don't like my watercolours they are cheap ones from the works for £3 for 12 and they have a very chalky texture after they are dried :( one day I will get around to buying a more expensive set...... 

Square 1 focus - munchin

Ok so I'm finally doing a square 1 focus it's been a while but all my swap ATC bits are up to date. So they aren't taking up time anymore... 
Never done munchin and it was different and more relaxing to the way I had thought it would be drawn so I kept it simple and just put some little bits of tipple here and there :) I also kept it b&w so it could go into the sq1 group 😊

The diva challenge #225

So the diva is taking a break over the summer and has guest bloggers issuing a challenge. This week it's the turn of Jen  crutchfield czt and her challenge is to use  only 2 or 3 colours in maybe an unusual combo. So I've sat down and drawn whatever came out from top to bottom blooming butter
Printemps
Narwhal
Quandry
And then I sat looking at my polychomos pencils and chose 2 - colbalt green and geranium lake. I love playing with them and getting different shades from the same pencils. Very happy with my tile ( even the crazy narwhal) :) 

That's new to me #25 'H'

So it's that time of the week again where I get around to drawing the 'that's new to me' challenge this weeks letter is h so I have chosen Hypnotic, cool little tangle very effective esp when coloured in bunzo style! :) as this is a repeating letter we also have an artist focus on Michele Beauchamp. Her work is amazing she is one of my fave. Zentangle artists! :) I use her blooming butter and wist often so I chose to do a new one of hers ( new for me) Brayd it came out ok but could have done with a bit more thought at the end of it after I'd put hypnotic down it's gotten a bit lost. Never mind I like the tile :)
