<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Never-Ending Tree</span></u></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started this tree sometime last year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I took a bunch of pictures on my progress as I
went along, but then my computer passed away suddenly, and took all of its
memories with it. T’was a sad, sad day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">What I remember from when I started, was that I wanted to
use the Rope String as my base for the tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve wanted to use it as a base for a tree since I first played with
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that’s how it began…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hit a snag doing the border. It wasn't originally all black - it had a funky design and was to be coloured in blues. But I messed it up... at around 2am this morning. So I coloured it in all black and it'll just have to do :)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned (other than to
backup my stuff) working a piece that takes a long time, with many delays, is
that though my colourful Copic Markers are amazing tools, their brilliance fades
over time, not unlike a highlighter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve
been meaning to move onto watercolours and watching this fade-out has giving me
that extra push to do so.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Regardless, here is my tree in all of its finished glory.</span></div>

Spinner Zentangle</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">(by Jo Flaherty)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Spinner is a Jo Flaherty original tangle. Join her facebook page called "Zia tips, tricks and techniques" for all of your tangly-goodness needs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've posted a few of my pieces below, featuring the Spinner tangle, followed by a video showing my basic rundown of Jo's design. You can have so much fun with this simple tangle, it's not hard to do at all and adding to it is really easy. Pop onto the facebook page and see what others have done with this pattern, it's truly spectacular!</span></div>

Jo's Underwater Challenge</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jo (check out her fb page ZIA tips, tricks and techniques) put out a challenge for an underwater scene. Which, of course, is a ton of fun!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's my efforts at the challenge. I used the WRONG kind of paper. After using distress inks on the background, I used my lovely copic microns to draw the base. No problems there. But then when I attempted to add colour with my prismacolor pencils, the paper tore as I tried to add the colour. :( </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<h2 align="center" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Back from MIA with Scallamp</h2>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’ve been a little MIA lately – I started on a larger piece,
and as Eni Oken has said many times, it’s good to work on smaller pieces because
of that quick-to-have sense of accomplishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She was so right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve been
waiting on the markers I need to finish the big piece, and haven’t been
tangling much since.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I finally realized
a few days ago that it was time to put the large piece aside, and get some
tiles done – play around with some patterns, get back to the things I love.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I went through the tanglepatterns.com site and flipped
through the top bar til I found a tangle that inspired me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found Sara Uram’s pattern Scallamp and
thought, YES! This is for me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here it is, my first tile in a long while. I did many
that first night as a warm up, played with some distressed backgrounds too – I’ll
include the second tile as well.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Stay tuned for the larger piece… it’ll get finished… someday…</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Zen n Zia facebook group posted this very cool Rope
String at the same time as Eni Oken’s Shading Zentangle group posted the Yew
Dee tangle challenge. So I put the two together and voila!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love this rope string! I know it’s supposed to be rope,
but it reminds me of a gnarled tree, and I may just be using this string for
trees in the very near future. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">The Diva put up the Hamadox challenge by Diana Shruer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Original post with step out sheet <a href="http://dischdisch.blogspot.ca/2015/08/hamadox.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">So basically, Hamadox is a mashup of Hamadail and
paradox.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now that’s a pretty cool
tangle. I wasn’t particularly pleased with the outcome when I did a typical
paradox center, so I rounded it off a bit and I was much happier with the
results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can see what I’m talking
about in my video here:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just love this Hamadox thing! This time I used my trusty
Distress inks to play with the colouring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I wasn’t initially going to do any background colour, but I dropped my
wet paintbrush on the paper as I was reaching for my water, and well, que sera,
sera. </span></div>

and follow me along on this little journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

shy, I’m happy to answer!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hamadox (<span style="font-size: small;">Diana Schreur): </span>what a funky idea! It's a mixture between paradox and hamail. I didn't like the way it looked when I first tried it out (you can see a bunch of my attempts in the background paper of my lineart picture). So I tried a little something different. Give me a few days and you'll be able to see the video of how I tweaked it to my liking.</span></div>

<u>My Tangled Valentine</u></h2>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It took me a few days to get this one done. Quite a few
layers of stuff going on here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fun
part is that I used very few tools to put this piece together.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course I used my microns, but more excitedly, I used one
Tombow red watercolour marker and the clear brush that comes in the set to add
all of the red and pink in this piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
used my trusty HB Staetdler pencil to shade beyond the reds/pinks, and that’s really
all I used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Usually, my little “art
table” (which is really more of a tv dinner tray on wobbly legs) is filled to

ad nauseum. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not this time though –
Paper, microns, pencil, 1 marker, 1 marker blender and one blending stick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m pretty proud of that, and very impressed
with the lack of clean up required after. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I went for the Neuron Zentangle again, but this time I
also included Hamail in order to prepare myself for the Diva challenge of Hamadox.
It involved using Paradox and Hamail Zentangles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More on that to come…</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used my trusty copics for the colouring in the Hamail, and
then just a basic HB3Staetdler pencil for shading the rest – and as usual, I
used my copic microns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time, for
the background, I used the grey copic markers as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(links for these items at the bottom of this
post).</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Hamail tangle took me a few tries before I could get it
right and even still, I struggled. The original walkthrough can be found here: </span><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/110760472062404322/"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/110760472062404322/</span></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay so the title here is a bit of a lie - this is actually my second attempt at the Neuron Zentangle, but the first one was so awful I wound up using the paper as a tester for combination colors. Yeah, it was that bad. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seems to be the general consensus that not many are fond of this tangle - yeah, me neither. I might do a few pieces with it - but really, it's not very fun. It's kind of like a tangle within a tangle, or more to the point, a string within a string. But - it <em>was</em> a challenge, and I may have a few more of these pieces up my sleeve.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>2nd Attempt at Jo's Dreamy Process</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here I go again on my own (you can thank me for that ear worm later). This time I used prismacolor watercolour pencils instead of distress inks. Maybe it's the paper, maybe it's just me, but I preferred working with my distress inks and foil and bottle caps. At least that piece did what I wanted it to do, where as with the watercolors here, they didn't always behave as expected. It also took a whole lot more layers to get what I was going for. It was a lot harder to get the colours to POP!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But enough of the complaining - at least I learned that the watercolour pencils work quite differently than the distress inks, and as long as I remember that, this was not a wasted effort. But holy hell it took a lot of time! (There I go complaining again, I truly thought I was done with that.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did still keep with my minimalist theme, and used the bottle caps again as well as just one brush. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here is the lineart:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And here is part of the colour done, after so many layers I nearly went blind... I used a white watercolour pencil to brighten the middles, then blended it. I thought diluting the centers with more water would do the trick, but alas, it did not.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>My Struggling-Artist's Attempt at Jo's Dreamy Watercolors</u></span></h2>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
This is gonna be a long and involved post – because wowzas! So
much to say about this!</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
First off, Jo Flaherty, what an amazing artist! She’s found
her “voice” (that’s what we say in the writing community) in art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She makes the most beautifully whimsical
pieces that are eye-catching and soothing at the same time, as well as
completely unique!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eni Oken featured her
as an artist this week in the Shading Zentangle FB group and Jo was kind enough
to show us how she does her work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a
wonderful pair of women to bring us this challenge and share their artsy ways!</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Like I said, I’ve admired Jo’s pieces for quite a while now.
I was so stoked to give this a try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sadly, I didn’t have the materials Jo uses, and had no means of getting
them. But did that stop me? Heck no. </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
I have distress inks, and I love them, but they are the
cubed versions you can see below.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not
ideal for this type of project. Or so I thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted
so badly to use their color palette that I figured I’d get creative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, I needed something to smudge the
distress inks on…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t get what
the kit suggests, or other artists suggest, so I looked around my kitchen, and
came up with nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sat on<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes the foil that keeps my ciggies fresh in
their little packs, and I dug them out and flattened them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few tests later and I realized they were
perfect for smudging and diluting the distress inks! WIN!</div>
my couch
and sighed… then looked over at my cigarette pack (I know, I know, smoking is
bad, but let’s focus here). I spotted the tin foil.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeIK6lbSRJaxkFLFfz4dgq-XXZfawpy7whI3AewN7WsA6T1uykU0I6hLMGoNpAtvhffbN8FjfiuvdsuK9_z0Sdn9-om84Df84GGB_VCp4Qjbr13PjNtKnNML4WVex0dc5XyC55uKX6FXjy/s1600/struggling+artist+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeIK6lbSRJaxkFLFfz4dgq-XXZfawpy7whI3AewN7WsA6T1uykU0I6hLMGoNpAtvhffbN8FjfiuvdsuK9_z0Sdn9-om84Df84GGB_VCp4Qjbr13PjNtKnNML4WVex0dc5XyC55uKX6FXjy/s320/struggling+artist+1.JPG" width="320" /></a>Then I needed to wash my brush after every color. Yes, my
one brush. With the distress inks I only needed a bit of water to clean the
brush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was not going to walk into the
bathroom or kitchen every few minutes… so I looked around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I drink a lot of bottled water, and with
bottled water comes bottle caps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
bottle caps with a few drops of water became my diluting and cleaning station. </div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
It may be makeshift, but in a pinch, this proves that if you can't get the tools you need, you can work with the tools you have - with a bit of imagination.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Alas, here it is. Many hours of work and layering and more
layering later, with tin foil palettes, only 4 different distress inks, 1
brush, a bunch of bottle caps, some microns and a gelly roll white pen and I
have my finished “dreamy” piece.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Thank you Jo and Eni!</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
And as always,</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Be kind – to yourself, to the earth and to others.</div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here’s my 3<sup>rd</sup> Mah-Rah-Mee zentangle attempt, and
I incorporated Diva’s Moebius challenge into the piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or more to the point, I worked the
Mak-Rah-Mee into the Moebius challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Either way, the ribbon itself was not an easy task, and I’m not too
happy about how it turned out, but at least I gave it a try!</span></div>

it here too if anyone is interested – it’ll also be included in my “All things

<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm way late in getting this out there - this was the challenge for ZEN N ZIA's FB page, the Palm Zentangle challenge from January 9th. (See, told you I was way late). </span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can probably see from the pics, this was a large piece and took a very long time to do - but wow, was it ever fun!</span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got to play with all sorts of fun toys - here's a brief list of the items I used:</span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">distress inks</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">watercolor pencils</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">copic skin color markers</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">copic greys</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">white gelly roll pen</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Paint brushes, sponges, tinfoil, water bottle caps and lions and tigers and bears oh my!</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bit did I ever get to try out a bunch of new techniques. If you have any questions about how I did a certain section please feel free to ask, I'm all about sharing :)</span></div>
