I used a grey gel pen for the shading and a green colored pencil for the background. The shape came from a wooden ladybug piece that I had from Michael's. I used the tangles Finery and Hurry.

Diva Challenge #144
The Diva Challenge this week was inspired from a video from Samantha Taylor, and Sakura America. You will find a link on the bottom right hand side of my blog. It's a cute, and short, video that was very motivating. I have some of the Sakura gel pens. They are ooooo shiny and fun to work with. I especially like the clear one that just makes things look wet. We were to include an insect in our tile. Normally, I gravitate to butterflies but I also love little ladybugs. When I was little, I actually saw a florescent pink one. I decided to do this one red because I'm sure no one would believe me anyway :)

I LOVE YOUR LADYBUG!!! It's too cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathryn. Actually, like you sometimes, I wasn't sure if I wanted to post it. After it was complete, I looked at the ones that were already posted and they were SO beautifully done. I will never do that kind of work no matter how slowly or carefully I go. I have to remember that my "style" is mine, and that's okay :)
DeleteSuper combination of tangles Jean.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelly. I try to use ones that I have never done or not done in a while as often as possible. I want them all to , eventually, become as easy to recall as a simple word or letter of the alphabet.
DeleteWhat a cute tile you made! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anoeska, and thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I so appreciate it!
DeleteYour bug is lovely Jean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annemarie :)
DeleteI love your ladybug and what fun to see a pink one! I also love how bold this tile is.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comments, Kate. I should look online and see if there is any mention of pink ladybugs!
DeleteYour ladybug is bodacious. Wonderful use of tangles and colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Linda. Please read my response to Amy below :)
DeleteYour ladybug is beautiful! Great choice of tangles and lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lonetta. This was a fun challenge for sure :)
Delete:) I like the word BODACIOUS that was used to describe your lady bug! And its is just so darn cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a son that uses that word all the time. I, myself, have never used it. It was fun to read something so very different (an quite complimentary as well.) Thanks for your "like" on the lady bug too. Everyone should click on your name and go see what YOU did!!!!
Deletelove the bug! its fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Efie. Not quite as scary as some of the entries this week :)
DeleteWow your bold ladybug really pops! The color works so well :) very nice
ReplyDeleteThanks Kailey. I love playing with color!

ReplyDeletewonderful bug! Love your Finery!
Thank you, Sue. I'm not sure if I ever even did that one before. It's different.
DeleteWhat a lovely lady bug you've created. Really enjoy the painterly technique you took with your color. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daniele, for the nice compliment. I really appreciate the positive feedback. You know how hard we can be on our own work.
DeleteCute work, Jean!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Faith!
DeleteYour ladybird (better than 'bug', don't you think?) is an absolute sweetie. Nothing buggy about her at all! Axxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annie. Maybe it is regional but "ladybird" is not a term I am used to hearing. You are right though, nothing buggy about those cute little critters.
