I Am The Diva Challenge 193: Overflowing Abundance

This week's challenge is to use three tangles, Trio, Huggins and XYP.  I decided to use the Thanksgiving theme because I thought that Huggins would create a great basket weave for a cornocopia.  This, of course, is obviously a Zentangle Inspired Art, not a Zentangle.

I used grey paper (6" x 8" ) and Micron Pigma pens in .005 and.05.  I used white, peach and terra cotta Prismacolor colored pencils for shading.

Auraknot vs. Mooka: The Diva's challenge # 172

This is my contribution to The Diva's Challenge for this week - Auraknot vs. Mooka.  The Auraknot is the center pattern and the Mooka surround the knot.  This tangle is 5" square and is done on good white drawing paper.

Village Five: The Tangled Forest

Well...every village needs a forest nearby and that is the case with the Tangled Village.  This piece of Zentangled Inspired Art is a mixed media creation of black construction paper, prismacolor colored pencils, illustration board,white drawing paper, and Micron-Pigma waterproof drawing pencils.

The trees were   tangled into designs with white prismacolor color pencil on black construction paper and then cut out.  The illustration board was shaded into sky and snow with colored pencils and the trees were then glued down on top.  The branches were drawn with the Micron-Pigma black drawing pen and the cardinals were drawn on printer paper with colored pencils and then cut out and glued onto the composition.

This piece is 12 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches in size. 

Village Four: Green Acres

Surrounding every village will be farmland and farms, so today's tangle is "Green Acres!"  This tangle has a "too" busy sky - I guess I got carried away with tangling!  This tangle was created on white drawing paper (3 1/2" x 3 1/2") with Micron-Pigma waterproof black drawing pens and a green Sakura gel pen.

Village Two

This is the second tangle in the Village Series...it is also 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" in size and is on good white drawing paper.  It is also created with Micron-Pigma waterproof drawing pens.
