A double Joey!

A dust bunny??!
I was wondering if that was the name for that bushy thing on a stick used for dusting... Seeing playboy bunnies dusting my living room... (Yes, I know, my mind is kinda weird...) Thinking how on earth that would come into a zentangle tile...

Till I thought to click the words... Doh! Of course it's a tangle name...
And a great tangle too!

Inspired by Joey's lovely dust bunny bookmark, I decided to make one of my own...

Dust Bunny by Margaret Bremner
Petunia by Denyse Jones
Beadlines by Margaret Bremner

All but beadlines were new to me... Loving all three new tangles!

This was drawn with microns, gelly roll and colored pencils...


I really liked this challenge...
Loved the tablecloth Joey used as inspiration for it and was inspirered to do a tablecloth tile of my own...
I used to have a Christmas tablecloth with the most beautiful border print, a border in the middle and stripes in two shades of red for the rest... I adored it... But nothing lasts forever... (Especially not tablecloths with kids in the house...)
Then came the tough part... Lining them up together... I messed up with the middle part...


This would really benefit from some coloring, but I decided to go ahead with this weeks challenge in stead...
The tangle used is Ballace by Damy...
A great tangle that you can do a lot with...
And a tiny bit of beadlines by Margaret Bremner...

  2. Wonderful bookmark, the composition and tangles used make it look like a closeup of the garden. Your second tile is stunning, I could see this as a tablecloth or curtains. Beautiful work.

  6. Whoa! I have to try the tangles that you used in the dust bunny challenge, they are amazing! Your border print is beautiful, everything lined up perfectly, not easy to do, I'm still miles from mastering it!
