This has been a tough month, but I am still plugging away. Tangling, thanks to you Sammy, has gotten me through, and I am slowly coming out into the world again.
The first wall project is slowly growing.

This is the design I did on my homemade paper. Yes, the pen does bleed in spots. I tried everything for shadows,and finally got watercolors to sort of work. I think this is going to take some time to figure out the perfect technique.

I will soon get all pics of all the others to put in Zentangle August page in the above tabs.
I love the wall Linda — Keep it going — post bigger pictures!
And PS, Linda – I’m sorry you’ve had a rough month. Email if you need a shoulder. Sammydetroit9@gmail.com. And I hope things are looking better for weeks ahead. Hugs, Sammy
Oh thank goodness! I know he didn’t say “no” but I thought he might have locked you in the chicken coop :-). :-). The wall is looking fabulous and the paper face is so tribal yet whimsical!
What did you use in the paper pulp for color bits and red hue? I haven’t made any for years and gave away all my felts, etc. years ago, but it was a hobby I loved at the time.
I can’t think of anything to shade that won’t get absorbed by the handmade paper face, and am surprised the water colors “held”. I think it looks terrific!!
So happy to hear from you. I’ve been doing lots of tangle practice, but not for posting purposes – just practicing different patterns.
