Zentangle® Spiral, Inchie and Dangled Cat

Aprox. 51/2 x 41/2 inches. Wood, painted white, nose with glitter glue, dangles with black pen and colored gel pens. Also, a collar of "gems", a bit of Copic shading and a coat of clear acrylic.

I gave a class yesterday on Dangles like Joanne Fink does and it motivated me to do a kitty on a wooden shape as a sample of what you can do with these fun dangly  shapes. I have more classes on Friday and, if you look at my Workshop/Classes tab on the top, you can see one of the wonderful finished student dangles.

The Diva Challenge #160 was to use a spiral as a string. What fun this one was. I had so many wonderful things going in my brain but I never seem to get down on paper what is in my head. Nevertheless, I like what finally found its way to my tile:

And, for Every Inchie Monday, the prompt was "figure." I got so deep into "figure of speech" and finally settled on Onomatopoeia  (the use of words that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to.). If you like to play with words, here is a great list of the different types of figures of speech. This one is saying "Wake Up!"

Zentangle®, Inchie, Dangles, and Coasters

I know you are used to me posting early in the week; however, I have been on a bit of a holiday and just returned yesterday. So, making up for lost time, I did the challenge of "use my tangle" from the Diva. This week's challenge was to try Erin Olson's tangle: Charlie. I think I got just a tiny bit carried away LOL:

Every Inchie Monday asked us to use the prompt "Explode". This is my brain when I am thinking!



A trade going on in my Zentangle Inspired Art group on Yahoo is for ATC Dangles. I did one on white, one on cream and one using gel pens. I think I prefer the "traditional" one on white best.

And, finally, some coasters that I made as a gift to take to a Canadian friend who brought me TONS of Qiviut (rare and costly yarn made from the Musk Ox):

I can't wait to go see what everyone else has been up to this week. It may take me a few days to do that though :)
