Zen in the sun...

It's here! 
The sun, the heat... Summer... Finally...
Just as we were about to give up hope it arrived.
So I had a little zen in the sun, and some of it with my trusty microns...
 
 
B-string with B-tangles...

A B to see... Get it? I'm so witty when it's this late... ;)

B-string with a whole lot of B-tangles is how I tackled Tuesday this week...
Be Vee, Bales on a string, Borbz, Btweed, Buttercup, Beadlines and two more that were new to me along with Be Vee, but I cannot remember the names right now...
Added some dangles as all the white space inside the B were poking at my eyes... I also tried for a drop shadow, something I think looks so amazing when I see it done, but man, it is hard to get just right.

I'm already contemplating how to attack next weeks C-string...

Tripoli - Tearce - Tracery

These were all new to me. I have seen Tearce used several times and really liked the look. I like it even more now that I have tried it.
Tripoli is so versatile I will also be using that again for sure.


Inside my journal
Last weeks entry in my journal.
The backing paper is a paperbag that came with some washi tapes I bought on ebay. I thought it was cute so I put it to use.

  1. Beautiful work, all of it! Your B is so elegant and that shadow so clever. I thought Tearce was a boring tangle but I like how you elongated the hairs in a Misst like way which made it both interesting and useful. I shall try that. Very interesting seeing inside you journal, I never really thought I wanted to have a journal, but now I must go out and get one. It looks really fun.

    1. Thank you for your kind words! Go for the journal! It's actually fun to flip through it. I started it in January which is also when I started tangling and it's fun to see how my drawings change over time.
      I imagine it'll be even more fun looking through it in a few years. :-)
