Making time to zentangle

Posey #1

I find time spent tangling is very rewarding so why I am I not finding time on a regular basis?!  Well,  like many of us I have a lots of various things going on..... with deadlines, etc.  So yesterday I made a list of things I like to do to relax and enjoy and then tried my best to assign a "priority" number to each.  No surprises really.....several things I do now, more as a matter of habit, are further down the list than Zentangle.....so I am determined to change that.  So hopefully you will see more posted here in the future.

Today I posting Posey #1.  It was drawn on a a "Zentangle square"..........and is not shaded.....yet!  I plan to add shading, but also to copy it onto a semi-smooth cardstock and try out some of the new pan pastels as well as watercolor pencils, or Inktense pencils.  I'll post the results later.

Wishing everyone a great week!

Adding color to Zentangle

As you probably know, a Zentangle is generally created with a fine black Micron pen and possibly some pencil shading.  When something more is added it becomes Zentangle inspired art.  I love all the variations.  But as I work with color, color, color in my needlework designs, I find it hard to not add color....now and then.  So, here are a few I have recently done with colorwash added using Derwent Graphitint Pencils.

Plus a few more "traditional" ones.

Wishing everyone a great July 4th weekend!

Enjoy,
Terry
