Orbs - Challenge #5

Orbs, circles...I love them! Hence, the three tangles you see below. I could draw more if I had time. Easiest challenge yet! Thank you, diva, especially after the star challenge. :)

Starry Eyed Surprise - weekly zentangle challenge #4

I'm not into stars and hearts and things like that so I wasn't sure what I was going to do for this. I decided to focus on the spaces rather than the "star." I tried to use some shading this time. I kinda like the finished piece.

Zentangle Challenge Week 3

Weekly Challenge #3 - Eyes Wide Shut

Draw a string with your eyes closed. Zentangle! OMG. This was hard. I started with a small uninteresting little blob. However, I like the end result! And where is my graphic 1 black pigma pen? Oh well.

Those of you who know me know that I can be kind of a perfectionist. And honestly, I hated my first go at Challenge #2, double strung (posted on January 1). I only submitted it because I wanted to make the deadline. I know that's defeating the purpose of zentangle, but it's true. :) Anyway, I did a second one to make myself feel better. I like it much better. It's not so crowded. 

You know I like to be part of an art challenge...

even though I have yet to complete one. I try, but then I get busy. I was part of the bead journal project in 2009 and 2010. I made it for about 3 months both times and then . I still plan to complete them both, lol.


For 2011, I'm joining I am the diva's weekly zentangle challenge. Since I zentangle almost every day anyway, I should be able to keep up with this one. :)

This is a horrible photo. I used my phone. I'll get a decent one later when I can borrow a camera.

A natural extension of pottery painting

I took a pottery workshop a few months ago. Here are some photos of the pieces I made. Once they were at the leathery stage (dry enough to hold its shape but moist enough to still be manipulated), I used various tools to decorate each piece. I didn't paint the one on the very bottom.
