    Zentangle Canvas

    Well this is actually a Zentangle Inspired Art since its larger than 3.5 x 3.5 and done with acrylic paint on canvas. I tried doing it with the Sakura Micron pens but with the largest pen being .5mm it was taking forever to do as well as it was sucking the marker dry. I then tried sharpies but it dried them in a matter of seconds.  So I finally decided to use acrylic paint to create it.  It was a bit more difficult to get nice lines so I gave up on trying to get nice lines and let it be.  The background was created by blending stamp inks. I really like how it came out.  I will be giving it to my grandmother as a birthday gift.

    Zentangle Challenges "Year of the Snake" & "New Official Tangle Quandry"

    Challenge #106: “Year of the Snake”

    I created this one last week in atc size. I wanted to use watercolors on it but I didn’t have a chance till this week.  I originally wanted to put it up for trade but I think I might keep it because I really like how it turned out.

    Challenge #107 – “New Official Tangle Quandry”

    I had a hard time with the new tangle. I eventually got frustrated so this is the end result.  I used watercolor but I shouldn’t have since the cardstock I use isn’t meant for watercolors. Its now a bit warped.  I think I may make some tiles out of watercolor paper so if I wish to use watercolors I can.  I also used Sakura 3D Glaze Pens but I didn’t give the blue and yellow colors enough time to dry and when I used the black it bled into the other colors.

    Here are a few zentangle tiles I did earlier this year.  I have been behind on posting challenge and non challenge zentangles.  I am also about 15 or so challenges behind.  Hopefully I can start catching up so by the end of the year I am caught up.  Since there are more than 10 I have divided them into 2 posts.
