Zentangle® Some Gems, Yuma, and an Inchie

If you are here for The Diva Challenge, Laura will post tomorrow, so do check back. Instead, I thought I'd share a "gem" tile. I used colored pencils for this. The tangles are Hollibaugh and C-Scape.

Square One, Facebook, focus tangle is Yuma by Tina Hunzirer.

And. Every Inchie Monday has a prompt word of Spaceship. When I was young my brother always made us watch Buck Rogers. Did you know that a rocket, which is what Buck traveled in, should have been called a spaceship? A rocket does not carry people. But, Buck nor I knew that. So, in my backyard was an old peach tree that was being propped up with an old broken limb. Perfect for a small child to sit on. In the crook, I kept a black and square smooth stone. This was my communicator. Many happy hours were spent traveling the universe in my rocketship, or more properly "spaceship". 


Thank you for stopping by. I hope to see you again tomorrow for the Diva's Challenge as well. I do enjoy reading your comments, and appreciate all of you who continue to encourage my efforts!

Zentangle® with Gems, IXorus, and an Inchie

Since the Diva is taking a holiday break from her blog and challenge, I thought I would share my first go at doing the trendy gems. I used a photograph of some earrings as a reference, and added a background of Florz.

IXorus is the focus tangle this week for Square One on Facebook. I took the suggestion of tangleation (altered tangle) to heart and kept it simple.

And, the prompt word for Every Inchie Monday is "Evolution." I thought I'd share my artistic evolution from using crayons as a tot (left) to my professional Copic markers (right) as an adult and accomplished artist. Well, maybe not so much of an evolution, huh? (And, I still love my crayons!)

Thank you for stopping by. I want to wish every one of you, who celebrate, a very Merry Christmas with one of my Copic colored cards!

Merry Christmas
