Zentangle® Some Leaves and a Salmon Inchie

Oh what fun this week's Challenge from the Diva was. Leaves! Well, I live in the Phoenix area. Our leaves stay on the trees until February and then grow back in February. But, I grew up in the East, so I do remember the glorious colors of fall.

I used my Copics with an airbrush for the background over a silk leaf. Turned it into Aquafleur with a Diva Dance stem. Added some simple Tipple and Meer. Highlights were added to the orange lines with a yellow marker and the shadows are a cream colored marker (Distress). Finally, a bit of Wink of Stella over the black and stem. Yes, a ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art)!

Square One: Purely Zentangle on Facebook added DEX to the mix this week. The first one didn't really do it for me so I did a second where I added Pearlz, and Reef by Judy Lehman

And, finally, for this week's Inchie from Every Inchie Monday, the prompt was "salmon". I've never really liked that color for some reason. I was having trouble thinking of what to do and so I went grocery shopping. The salmon caught my eye. That's when I realized that the only ones who can afford to eat salmon, for $14.99 a pound, would be the bears!

Zentangle® Rixty, an Inchie, and a new pencil bag!

As promised, just a shortie this week. (I went and took two more Copic workshops, so I was busy with coloring.)

 I made myself the cutest little mini book (about 3 x 4") out of H2O painted watercolor paper and decided to do the Diva Challenge Rixty on a double page spread. I just love the look of those watercolors.

The inchie this week, from Every Inchie Monday, had a prompt of "head". I thought of the phrase "heads up" and thought it would be nice to warn everyone of the following:






And, who can resist another pencil bag? Especially a pencil bag that is begging to be tangled. It came with the typewriter and I used the Gel roller from Pentel and the Fabriano for the grey.
