Angel Drawings

The "I am the Diva Challenge"  #299  is about using Drawings on your tile.

My Drawings looks like two connected angels. Very nice ! And I like my border too.

Challenges Square One December 2016

Another year did pass.  Time goes so quickly, and when I look to my artwork of 2016 I can see the past year again before my eyes.  My tiles and other stuff are all memories of a time period, a challenge, an event, a family time, a holiday etc.  That's very nice !  It's also the reason I started with this blog, to create some memories, and to let others enjoy them too.

I post my tiles for the last challenges of December 2016.

Week 1: Reel
My Reel tile is already one in  a Christmas mood

Week 2: Aura-Leah

Happy New Year 2017

By best wishes to all of you for 2017 !

I made some personalised greeting cards with some wishes for the New Year for all my nieces and cousins - 9 in total.  I made a zentangle with the first letter of there names. They where all very pleased with there cards when I gave them on the first of January - with some pocket money as is the habit in our family.  And I had to make 2 more of them for my own daughters, when they saw me creating the other tiles.

I post all the lovely cards here.

And the two tiles for my girls:

Mandalas by Ben Kwok

I already follow the zentangle group Ornation Creation of Ben Kwok for a while (Facebook Ornation Creation).  He publishes each week an amazing template you can use for your zentangle work.  I already made some animals using his templates, you can find them earlier on my blog.  Now I decided to use some mandala templates.  Oh that was quite a challenge !  But I like the results very much.  I hope you enjoy them too.

Reticula Challenge #295

The Diva Challenge this week (#295) is the same as the previous week, so to use a grid as base and fill it up with a design of your own.   The challenge is to make a 'Reticula' tile.  I did not participate last week, but I decided to go for it this week and I had some free time this afternoon.  My daughter invited a friend for playing this afternoon, so more free time for me !

For this week's challenge we have to choose a design that is asymmetrical.  Then alternate the design inside the grid - creating another more complex pattern!  

Tête Cubiste from Marthe Donas

A few weeks ago, there was a picture of one of the works of Marthe Donas (1885 - 1967) in the newspaper, as an advertisement for an exhibition in BOZAR (Brussels).  Immediately as I saw it, I wanted to make a zentangle drawing of it.

This work from her Avant Garde period is 'Tête Cubiste' (1917), and it is exposed for the moment in the BOZAR in Brussels. My husband and I are going to see the exhibition soon.  It took a while before it was finished, because I'm not used to work on this large format (27 x 36cm).  But I'm pleased with the result.

And here the original.
