    Challenge #133: “Tipple – love it or hate it?”

    August 30, 2013 /

    This challenge was to use the tangle Tipple.  I love the tangle tipple. Its fun and I love drawing circles maybe because they represent completeness, unity, balance and infinity.  I didn’t have tiles with me so I created the piece in one of my art journals.  Without realizing it I had pretty much used it to cover most of the page so I decided not to use any other tangles with it.

    Yesterday I created the last page in my first art journal.  It felt really good completing it.  This week I plan on working on the covers.  Then the following week I will compile a slideshow of the entire art journal.

    It’s About Art Journaling Swap

    August 23, 2013 /

    Here are the cards I received.

    Challenge 125: UMT v. XVIII Birdie Feet

    Zentangle 191

    Challenge 124: We are Calgary

    Unfortunately I messed up on one of the squares.  I colored it black so I went over it with a white pen but it didn’t really cover the black so I then used a red marker which unfortunately was oil based so it reacted weirdly with the water based marker underneath.
