I Am The Diva's Weekly Challenge, #170: "Bugles"

This is the first time I have done a Zentangle for the I Am The Diva Weekly Challenge.  Each week, a tangle is selected as the subject of the weekly challenge.  This week it is "Bugles" by Joyce Evans.  The objective is to design a tangle composition using the challenge tangle.  I got a little carried away with this one - lots of linear work - I feel this could be simplified and be a lot better.  Well - at least I am getting my feet wet!

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.

Zentangle (Zendala) Christmas Star

I designed this 3 dimensional Zentangle (or is it Zendala) star today for a project I am working on.  It is approximately 6 inches from side to side and top to bottom.  It was created on card stock with  a Micron Pigma .005 black ink drawing pen.

This tells the Christmas Story featuring the Christ Child in the creche in the middle, then the town of Bethlehem and at the top, the angel with the star above her.  This is going to be an art activity to go along with a short story about the Christmas Star for my church circle.  They will score and fold the star to make it dimensional and then attach the ribbon.
