Zentangle® Reticula, Fragments, Moowa, and an Inchie

Over at I am the Diva, the challenge was to use Reticula (grids) and Fragments (repeating inner patterns). I dunked a Zentangle tile into some watered down Distress Inks and then had to play with my new gel pens. Wish you could see the sparkle, but sparkle seldom shows up nicely in photos or scans. The grid, wonky, and the pattern are both just ones that came out of my pen.
The focus tangle this week on Square One, Facebook, is to use Moowa by Anya Ipsen. Very interesting layering of a Mooka shape. I added Jax from Vera Giesbrech
And, my tiny one inch square idea comes from Every Inchie Monday where the prompt word is lighting. Be kind you your eyes and always have appropriate lighting to do your work.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I love reading your comments!

A Dare, Bookmarkers, and Maisma

Geneviève Crabe contributed one of her Zendala templates today to Erin's dare from The Bright Owl. This template had LOTS of lines and I started spinning until I remembered that you do not have to include every single line into your tangle. Well, even with those barriers removed, I still managed to add more of my own even after I had removed a lot of the originals:
I also have a trade of vined and flowered bookmarkers that need to be mailed out:


I sprayed the 2" x 6" cardstock before I added the tangles with colored pens. I used Henna Drum, Zinger, Jax, Limpitz, CatKin, Rose and Barberpole. Then, I added some Copic markers for highlighting and shadows.

The TOW for this week was to use Maisma by Linda Dawson. Take a look at Linda Farmer's Tangled Patterns Site. I felt "boxed in" by it, so I went outside the box:

















I so appreciate your looking at my blog and appreciate getting your comments. I will, hopefully, be getting my CZT certification soon and am trying very hard to get my work to be worthy of the title. I don't feel that my work is as neat as I would like so I try to make up for it in originality. I'm not sure that is a fair exchange though LOL! How I so admire all the real talent out there. I love how everyone shares so willingly in this tangled community!
