I have become a Sunday blogger! I get things finished during the week sometimes, but never find the time to sit and write. Oh well, better late than never.
I finished the Every Inchie Monday for tomorrow (early, I might add). The word is "thistle". I think those purple flowers are so gorgeous. I can't possibly think of them as weeds. They are just too pretty.
I worked on Adele Bruno's string challenge this week. I think the tile looks a bit empty but I like it. Sometimes I have a tendency to overwork a tile or piece. I just don't seem to know when to quit.

| String Challenge #60 |
Diva's challenge this past week was to do a blind string. I placed my pencil on the edge of the paper, closed my eyes and took off! This is a fun challenge. It also helps me to produce strings that are not always so similar.

For one of my facebook groups, we had to use the tangle "pendrils". I like this tangle. It is sort of addicting though. Once you get started you can't seem to stop. I think it looks pretty cool combined with n'zeppel.

And last but not least, I worked on a submission in a vellum sketch book by Clearprint. You can use any type of art (of course, I chose tangling) and do one page. Then you send it back to the company and they send it out to the next person. I was a bit unsure about drawing on vellum, but now that I have - oh, I love that paper! Also it sort of shook my confidence when I saw the first page - that artist was awesome. But I forged ahead and did my page.
I used a Ben Kwok template and modified it some (very easy to do with vellum).
Guess I shall open the school books. Papers to grade and a notebook to work on. Have a wonderfully blessed day and thanks for dropping by!
great artwork here. I like the minimalist tangle and your inchie is very pretty. I love purple flowers too!
ReplyDeleteI like all your challenge responses, The Pendril and 'Nzeppel are great together. I think the color of the thistles are great, but I tend to think of them as exaggerated dandelions. And, their roots go really deep, once their there that's it.
ReplyDeleteWow and more WOW. I love the string challenge piece; it's absolutely not too empty, it's just good this way. The others are beautiful too. Have a great (work) week.
ReplyDeleteAll your pieces are so cool and well balanced. Like you I also tend to over a piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork! That last piece on vellum is stunning. What a great idea to tangle on vellum. I always learn so much here.
ReplyDeleteI love all your tangles etc, they are a bit of a mystery to me :-) and such a cute thistle too!

Great inchie, and wonderful zentangles. Love the one you did for the book.
ReplyDeleteReally nice work but I love your thistle the best. I wonder who decided that it was a weed? I think it is so pretty.
ReplyDeletesuch great detailed work. love them all
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of art you have produced this week. I particularly like the piece on vellum; whoever ends up with the book should be proud to have that included. And remember: a weed is just the wrong plant in the wrong place. A thistle over there is beautiful. A thistle over here will take over the yard. Have a brilliant day! c
ReplyDeleteBrilliant inchie and drawings.
