And for Every Inchie Monday, the prompt was "Thistle." Did you know that, although a weed, is the emblem of the Scottish nation? I pulled out my gel pens for this one.

Zentangle® Rainbow Style, Pendrills, and an Inchie
Color! I do love color, especially when I get to play with my Copic markers. So, when I saw today's challenge from the Diva and the word "rainbow" was there, I had to jump in. I used my air brush to make the rainbow and then I did use the letters requested: LGBT = Laced, Girdy, Beadlines, and Tipple. This tile is in support of National Coming Out Day. More details at the Diva Challenge.
For Square One on Facebook, we worked with Pendrills. I ended each one with a Zinger. Does anyone know the name of the tangle that looks like washers? I know I've seen it, maybe one of you?

Beautiful work. The circles look like Suzanne McNeil's Bubbles only spread out. I found out about the thistle thing when I was working on my Inchie.
ReplyDeleteWell, it sure looks close to Bubbles. Thanks, JL. I appreciate that as it was driving me crazy :)
DeleteGreat rainbow there! And I love that Inchie! I haven't tried one myself, they seem so small! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nat, I loved making that rainbow on my tile. I think anyone who can do Zentangle can do Inchies. Give it a try; it is only paper :)
DeleteGlorious rainbow, beautiful fade through from one colour to the next. Good choice of Tangles too. Nice tile altogether.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving a nice comment. It is always appreciated!
DeleteYou achieved what I was aiming for with your rainbow tile. I purposely hadn't looked at anyone else's before I attempted mine. Maybe I should have sneaked a peek ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow, you made me jump over to your blog to see your rainbow because of your comment. No, your rainbow is really beautiful. It's just softer and more focused. I love the whole feel of your tile. No comparisons allowed HAHA!
DeleteLove all the drawing, especially the weed :) It's a weird weed, isn't it :) Oh wow, you have an air brush.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Zoe. Yes, when I retired I gifted myself a trip to become a CZT, the classes to become a Copic Certified Designer, and the Copic air brush system. I worked long and hard and almost everything I did or bought was for someone else. ME time now :)
DeleteBeautiful and colorful! Nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carmela.
DeleteBeautiful rainbow
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tinas :)
DeleteGorgeous Tile, Jean. Your colored Rainbow is awesome. You're getting wonderful results with the AirBrush. The design and Patterns in your tile are very effective. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David. Yes, that air brush is much more fun than I thought it would be. I thought I might be afraid of it but it is just so easy to use so I use it all the time.
DeleteGreat thistle inchie - lovely colour. The rainbow colour makes me happy - great tangle.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kia :)
Deletegreat work this week, love the rainbow and then inchie, such beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Freebird!
DeleteYour rainbow is awesome, Jean!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annemarie :)
DeleteLove your thistle and the other 2 pieces are great too!
ReplyDeleteSally
Thanks, Sally!
DeleteBeautifully drawn inchie, and very clever zentangles. I really must have another go at them when we have moved, and I find everything again.
ReplyDeleteOh, moving sure does make everything difficult for a long time. I hope all goes well and thanks for taking the time to drop by and leave a comment.
DeleteColorful and therefore powerful (and beautiful :-) ) rainbow!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ilse!
DeleteBeautiful tiles.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lily :)
DeleteTerrific work this week, Jean. I especially like the tile for the Diva's Challenge; beautiful colorwork.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Audrie :)
DeleteBeautiful rainbow Jean - love the way you linked it together.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beverley. I'm not usually much for rainbows, but this one is special for what it represents.
DeleteThere is such wonderful strength in your Diva tiles, Jean as well as great colours. Love it! Axxx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Annie :)
DeleteNicely done, Jean! Very colorful work and you got such a fabulous result from your airbrush technique. have a brilliant day! c
ReplyDeleteThank you, C. I did have a brilliant day and hope you did too :)
DeleteYes indeed, a beautiful rainbow tile! Great use of Girdy! Also I like your imaginative ZingerPendrills ... wonderful combination! And again a lovely inchie! Wonderful works this week!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to use Girdy, Lonetta. I don't remember ever using it before and I really liked it. Thanks!
DeleteGroovy lacing together, very thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteFor once, I had an idea of tying it all together and it actually wound up the way I saw it in my head. That doesn't happen very often. Tangles usually go wherever they want :) Thanks for stopping by, Shelly!
DeleteAll three pieces are wonderful. I really love your colorful Challenge tile using Girdy so effectively, and the brilliang Colors. I also have a weakness for thistles, which I've always thought are beautiful "weeds" - your Little inchie is delightful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer. I've never used Girdy before and I kind of like its. I think I like a lot of weeds :)
DeleteGreat inchie.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI love how bright and beautiful your rainbow tile is. I am loving all the gorgeous color that I have seen in this challenge.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun with the added challenge of a rainbow!
DeleteBeautiful rainbow, and excellent matching of the patterns.
ReplyDeleteFeels to me like an underwater scene, with the pipes coming up from bedrock ...
I just love the way Zentangle and ZIA inspire the imagination to just go to such different places. Love your vision :)
DeleteHi Jean - your rainbow is gorgeous!! Just lovely!! I got behind but I am here now :)
