TWIN MANDALAS-ZENTANGLES

TWIN MANDALAS - the mandala on the right is one that I did last november--
finally I finished the one of the left.
I think they look cool together.
I am so hooked on doing these zentangles-mandalas...it is so easy to just sit back and put
my art journal on my lap and doodle away.
I am a bit behind with my once a week checking in with what creation I am working on...
I am just lazy lately---nothing more....
but hopefully I can get out of this slump and keep moving forward...
So the twin zentangle-mandalas are my newest creation...and hopefully
just the beginning of so many more!
Now I want to get color markers to try that - I think color would add a whole different
look to it all....(maybe)!
Thanks for stopping by - make sure you let me know how are you
being creative lately!
PEACE and HAPPY CREATING~!~

BUNCHED ZENTANGLE

More Zentangles - I just wanted to "experiment" with zentangles intentionally started
a certain way - the outline.......I like the way it turned out - not as much
a surprise to me the way it came together because it was planned---do you know
what I mean?
The piece above was not formed by just free flowing lines and then me looking
at it to see what shapes I notice and how to start---this one was planned...and
it took me longer to do - hmmmmm---I wonder if that is connected in some way.
I tried to trim off the photo of all the extra in it - so that you can get a close look
at the piece but my psp kept crashing (which is typical of windows vista)..but hopefully
you can see all you want of it.
Well - off to doodle some more - and how are your creative juices doing?
PEACE & HAPPY CREATING~!~

DETAILED ZENTANGLES - LAST DAY

I MADE IT!!!!
A whole month of creating and writing about it - WOW!!!
This really has been quite theraputic for me - I feel like I have accomplished
something positive and good. For me - that is major!!
I have met some awesome peeps during this past month--absolutely
supportive and just plain nice - WOW - I am blessed.
I plan on continuing my zentangle projects and my hand project--so keep on
coming back and take a peek what I am up to--
you might be surprised.....lol.
Here a few pics of my most recent creations:


This one-to me-looks like a ribbon that has different ornaments or
such hanging from it - I like the way it turned out--
I think one of the ornaments is looking at me!!



This is my newest hand project zentangle--much more detailed--
took me a bit longer to complete but to me worth it.
I thought it turned out really nice - just staring at it from a bit of a distance
and the coolest images come to life.
The pic below is a closer look at some of the details--

Well I just want to say THANK YOU ALL for coming by and being
so supportive and leaving such encouraging words - you have
made my life so much more richer.
Have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!
PEACE~!~

ZENTANGLE-PRACTICE SAMPLE

WOW - tomorrow is the last day of AEDM and NABLOPOMO....I cannot believe
that a whole month has gone by so quickly---it has been an amazing month-
Today I am going to show you one of the zentangles that I did for practice--trying to
figure out how I was going to do things and such...so here is my practice one:

It is not anything fancy - I just wanted to see what different line doodles would
look like ---everything is kind of giant in size but at least you can see where
I started from and where it has taken me---
tomorrow I will be uploading a hand zentangle that I think looks awesome--
it is much more detailed -
NOW---I have been asked some questions so I thought I would answer them
here and now---I did not take lessons to learn about zentangles - I saw
some examples and read about it being a new artform and I was instantly hooked.
I am teaching myself through trial and error - there really is no wrong way because
it is just doodling - and art is so open to interpretation--it can be anyway you want.
I did not buy anything to do them--I have a fine point sharpie marker/pen that does
not bleed through the paper and that is it....no special equipment - actually I think
the practice one above was partly done with a gel black pen - until I found my
sharpie--so there truly is nothing special to buy.
I have always enjoyed doodling - like when you are talking on the phone
and you just start to doodle and make shapes and such - well that is where I
started from and I am slowly expanding what I can do.
I made this process easy since it is all new--I just wanted to have fun -
I am kind of glad I did not take lessons or anything because I feel
like there are no rules or boundaries and that I like~~
I hope this answers some of your questions---thanks for stopping by - I appreciate
your support and kind words!
PEACE and HAPPY CREATING~!~
