This is just to show that a string_patterns_finished tile can give a new impression from another angle.

This is my second entry in Erin's Monodala. This one uses the pattern 'IXORUS'. I have taken progress photos of the Zendala if you wish to view. This took me a while to do, was very intricate as there is very little space in some of the sections of the template.... oh well! once you start you just can't stop :) Enjoy and thanks for looking. www.thebrightowl.com

I didn't enter this one for this weeks dare - this one is the same as the other except no fill. www.thebrightowl.com

Had an idea to use the same principle as 'flowervine' - I love how easy it is to do :)

Here I have beads.

Thanks for visiting :)

a couple of pieces I've been working on - reminds me of a Chinese Dragon somewhat :)

I loved the tree in this one, so used it a start for the next one

Zendoodled art. Micron pens, Sharpie ultra fine colored markers.

12 February 2011 (ZT tile size)

My new fave pattern... here is a variation of Y-Flip (by Helen Williams)

I actually drew the circles in between the over and under lines, then filled in, much easier - for me at least :)

This is only an A7 size (probably 4" X2.5") - just doodling at work :))

more trying to learn from Beckah Krahula "Tangle Journey"

Created for Stamping A to Z's A is for... (art journaling) and C is for... (ColorBox) challenges.

The red background piece was created back during Stamptoberfest 2008 for Daria's (djc's) SOF08 Resist This Challenge. I stamped the "warm wishes" sentiment from Hero Arts CL130 Frames and Messages using scarlet red ColorBox pigment ink.

The focal image is a zendoodle that I created, by hand drawing, using a Faber-Castell pen.

I die cut and dry embossed a matte for the zendoodle using Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eighteen. The focal image and matte are adhered using foam squares for dimension. The black-and-white gingham ribbon is by Bazzill. I was inspired to get this gingham ribbon after seeing Godelieve (stampingmathilda) use it so well.

Thanks for looking! :-)

This was my first go at this week's Zendala Dare - done on the round template. Check out all the lovely Zendalas here www.thebrightowl.com with Erin.

8 1/2 x 11 ... Done with Helix 0.1mm pen & fine point sharpie ... The clock in my heart says, time is moving too fast ...

The Pillow -

Copada, Blossoms

I wanted to go beyond the string and still use the same pattern - the middle section reminded me of a pillow. so we have some pretty wallpaper, curtain material and another round cushion and the black and white section could even be a wicker chair :))

My ventures into drawing where before I couldn't even draw a stick figure.....

Micron pen and sharpies on watercolor paper.

Tangles:

Neuron

Bunzo

Keenies

Bugles

Each week I print 4 Tangle Pattern Strings and usually only do one or two, but this time I felt like doing them all. The 2nd one reminded me of a lady's head, so my next 3 themes were exactly that. thanks for looking - Enjoy!

These are the zen dodles made by Mabi, my sister: she is a ceramist and I

have just discovered that she is going to make ceramic plates full of

zendoodles!! I am so curious to see her work!

The outer pattern is a variation of 'Tess Flower' by Mafe' Mavromati

Dotled pattern X

Red Gel pen on watercolour paper

difficult to choose the view with this one - settled for side view - a part of me wants to add colour and fill in the cockles and mussels - not real sure about that :)

Here's a zentangle that includes an example of my pattern Nitti. This is my first round tangle.

This is a silly little Kitty that Lori asked me to do ! I hope you like it !! LOL!! I used Micron and Zig Pens. Accented with Staedtler Blue, Green,Yellow and Orange. Just having fun today ! Needed some light hearted Zentangle time today !! LOL!!!

i splashed a ton of watercolours all over a page in my large sketch book and when it was dry, i drew a string following the colour lines- then i tangled. i love this one. i will probably actually buy a frame and hang it in my sewing room. sadly my husband thinks that there is too much colour and especially hates the orange and black and this has clouded my own view of it. oh well. it's sunny anyway.

also: ps. i clearly purchased a copy of totally tangled while on my trip to ohio! now to find yoga for your brain next!
