One hundred days of creativity!

 Hang on, I've got an entire week's work in pictures for you here!
Are you hanging? Good, let's go then...

Page 3 in my tangle sampler book is now done... Looking back I see that I posted about finishing page 2 on February 11th and this page contains about 65 tangles... It's roughly a new tangle a day...
That's pretty awesome! Go me! ;)

 

Cat-kin is a great tangle! It's simple and repetitive to draw and looks cool, I love it!
B'twined is one of many tangles I learned and only actually used once. But it's also a great tangle to draw, I will have to use it more.
(I wish I had made it bigger upwards, but that's for next time!)


I decided cat-kin was new enough to pass for a new to me tangle...

New tangle: Cat-kin
Inapod, eca-lin, lockar curls, ovolution, courant, enyshou, lilypads

It seems most of the participants in this challenge didn't care for the new theme... Only two submissions this week and not many last week either...
Go check it out, it's so much more fun when more people take part... :)



Owls, owls, owls...

I adopted Joey's cut-and-paste idea for my sketchbook...
My favorite things to draw is cats, owls doodle flowers... And I love to color in after, that is if I get the chance before the kids steals my drawings!
This time I got there in time... Perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon...


String: I drew one..
Quib and Quabog

I've seen some really cool tiles using Quib. It looks so fun to draw, so I had to try.
And it was a great tangle to draw. But I didn't really know what to do with it once I had the quib down...
There was no step-out to be found on Quabog, maybe it's one of the top-secret tangles!
Good thing it's so simple even I can figure it out...
When I had drawn Quabog it looked so messy... Then I filled it with black and it took the focus away from the Quib...
Colored pencils to the rescue!!
Now it looks sort of outer-spacey... And I like it!

We have now passed one hundred days of creativity over at Whimsy by Kelly's where we're going for 300 creative days in 2015...
Yay for us!

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...
 

Eca-Lin by LonettA
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...
