I finished up my postcards today and mailed them out to my swap partners. They were done on 300 pound water color paper. The only problem with this swap is there was no room for "mistakes" ( I know there are no mistakes in Zentangle®; however, these are ZIA's and that's different, yes?) I tried some new techniques and some new pens and I am not thrilled with the results. If I had more of the paper that was sent to me, I probably would have done a do-over on these. I know I should try out new ideas before jumping right in, but I guess that just isn't my style LOL!
I got some AquaMarker pens this week. I think they are a bit overpowering. Not like the delicate work that I admire in other people's work. It is bold though :)
This one was for the swap host,
Anita Roby-Lavery. I had fun incorporating some of her own tangles into this design. I also played with bubble soap and water colors for the background. That was a lot of fun too.
I also worked on Fengle, which was Roy's challenge this week from his
Mindful Creation's Blog. Fengle and I have not played well together. But, since I HAD to do it, I kept working on it and all of a sudden it worked! Seems to be the way with some tangles:

Not sure what you were playing with but like the layering effect that you achieved with the partial aura around the outside.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Donald. It is supposed to be Betweed. It just kind of looked empty, so that just grew.
DeleteI love your postcards - I think they are beautiful. Also the fengle is great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathy. I hope you are feeling better.
DeleteI do like your Fengle a lot.
