I bought these cheap shoes ages ago meaning to draw on them. I finally did it! It was quite fun. I used Sharpie Stained markers (they’re for fabric). I needed about 1.5 markers to cover the shoes. I haven’t worn them yet. I still need to decide whether I’ll use elastic instead of laces, or […]
Zentangle #51
Using TanglePatterns string 047 and patterns Onamato and Fricle. Shame my hand isn’t steadier… usually it’s not too bad, but occasionally it goes wonky. Otherwise I find this one quite pleasing.
Zentangle #49
Using TanglePatterns string 045 and patterns Bunzo, Chainging and Strircles. Lesson learned! You don’t have to fill the square! I thought with the complexity of this string that the Zentangle would not work out, but I think it did. Perhaps balancing the complexity of the string with the simplicity of the patterns is what did […]
Zentangle #48
Using TanglePatterns string 044 and variations on the Fife pattern. This wasn’t quite as effective as I’d hoped. Perhaps I shouldn’t have tried to fill the square… That’s something I’m learning, you don’t have to fill the square!
Zentangle #47
Using TanglePatterns string 043 and patterns Ansu, Hi-Cs, and Fife. I often make the mistake of making grid-based patterns too small, so this time I made Fife really big. I quite like it, although something in between this and my usual grid size is probably best.
Zentangle #45
Using TanglePatterns string 041 and patterns Drupe, and Suzanne McNeill’s woven pattern. These are two of my favourite patterns at the moment: they are so simple, but effective.
