Happy St. Patrick's Day in Zentangle®, Some Oof, and an Inchie

The Diva Challenge #209 was to use green. You know I love a challenge and like to try to think outside of the box. Not today. The gray cells are not in motion. So, I actually did the first think I thought of, a Shamrock. I kept it simple with just Verve and Betweed. I used two different Sharpie pens in green, a Koi coloring brush pen for the surround, shading with Fabrico gray and dots with a white gel pen.




Facebook's Square One tangle of the week was Oof to which I added Jetties and Fescu.
And, for Every Inchie Monday, the prompt word was "nail". Again, keeping it simple.









Thank you for dropping by and thank you if you leave a comment. I appreciate all of you :)

      Thank you, Kate. Not too original this week but it still was fun (and easy) to do :)

      Thanks, Zoe. I love the look of the Fabrico pen on the Zentangle tiles. It's soft and not as messy as the pencil can be.

    Very nice. I think you hit just the right note with your shamrock. Erin go bragh! I'm not sure what that means, but it seemed like the right thing to say. ;-)

      I guess green and shamrocks kind of go together, huh Kell? Thanks :)

    Your shamrock looks so very spring-like. It's lovely. And your other works are great as always.

      I think a lot of us are ready for spring. Of course, where I live, we are nearing summer! Thank you, Bee Watch!

    I like your green Shamrock-tile for the diva-challenge. And the tile for the Square One is amazing - just so wonderful shading and contrast!
    Your inchie is funny ;-) I just have no idea for my inchie this week...

      Sandra, I often just google the word to see what strikes my fancy or inspires me. Never any pressure though. You can always just glue a small nail on a one inch piece of paper!

    I really like your Square One piece. I've never seen OOF, so I guess I'll have to try that one out! Have a brilliant day, Jean! c

      Not one of my favorites, cstocks, but I do try to use as many different tangles as I can.

    I love the burst of green behind your shamrock. Simple but joyful! Your Square One contribution is very good and your "nail" made me smile. Delightful, as always.

      Thanks, Suzanne. I kind of liked the way the color fanned out like a sunburst too.

    Some days it is just harder to get the right synapses to fire. Your challenge tile is still a well done.
