This week's Heart theme, suggested by Elaine, gave me some trouble. It wasn't that I couldn't come up with an idea, it's that I had so many ideas that I didn't know where to start. I had four tiles going at once so that I could get all of my ideas on paper before I forgot them. I'm presenting 3 tiles today, but I don't think any of my ideas were fully realized. The barber pole heart (2nd tile) was stolen from something I saw online, but I can't remember from where so that I could give the person credit. Sorry about that.
Tangles: Tipple, Heartstrings, Heartvine, Up N Down, Hearty, Eylet Lace, Knight's Bridge, Jax
Tangles: W2, Barber Pole, Tipple, Laced, Keeko, Exis, Betweed
Tangles: Purk, Scrolled Feather
The scrolled feather design is from Helen Williams from a little lime. She's a fabulous artist with a wonderful, informative website. If you haven't checked out her work yet, what are you waiting for?
I won't be giving an update on my Zentangle project this week. I thought I might have some time to get caught up, but that didn't happen. I have pretty much given up the idea of doing it everyday. However, I do have some unfinished work with regards to that that needs to be completed. I don't want to totally give up on it yet, but I know the parameters need to change. I'll be thinking about that over the next week or two.

So cool! I did some Zentangle for a while, but never was terribly good at it. On the other hand, I loved doing it and added a lot to my (paper) journal!
ReplyDeletei'm like you, I had lots of ideas and didn't know where to start. I picked up the papers at hand and started. I have been trying to use a mix of practised and new tangles. I keep writing the names in the hopes that I'll remember some of them, that's a hard one for me. I really like your third heart with the one tangle filling the entire heart. I think I'm going to have to try something like that as well.
ReplyDeleteI love all three of these! I have got to learn how to do this. Yours are so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful! I love the scrolled feather on the bottom one. I hadn't seen that before. I am so bad about knowing the names of patterns. I get the majority of mine from Pinterest and they frequently don't have the names. I should start writing them down.
ReplyDeleteThe shading in the background of #2 is amazing. I'm still working on that.
