View

October's theme on Sketchbook Challenge was 'View' so I first started by viewing my everyday surroundings differently and captured a few images of my pepsi swirling in its glass:

I then viewed my tangles in a different way and tried enlarging them:

And finally I chose to create this eye view of tangles using the shape from a tangled eye image that unfortunately I cannot currently find:

Name Pages

I thought I would try some personalised pieces for my Etsy store so here are the demo's I have produced in my sketchbook and put in for printing with my dad to make them into notebooks. I can only show you 3 of the pages as the 4th is for an Exchange, shhh.

I think they will look really nice made into notebooks and you'll always know which book is yours too. As I said these are just demo's ML being my initials and MUM and DAD being general. Pick a name and a font and I will personalise it however you want.

Another Etsy sale!!!

My 3rd Etsy sale is on it's way to the USA, Florida! It's been glazed and ready for shipping!



I do love this piece! I hope the recipient likes it as much as I do!

My entry...

For Letraset promarkers giveaway. I used my letraset pro-markers comic art set 3 with the included 0.1 fineline pen and a white stabilo gel pen.

From a black rollerboot to a tangled rollerboot, I hope you like it!

Inspiration block???

Sandra has created a post of ways to break up bleedthru pages as a response to a comment I left on one of her amazing bleedthrumanade pages. It's a great way of avoiding artist's block as it's called and gives you some new things to try with your work.

More Shrinkies

Here are a couple more shrinkies I made last night whilst Joey was playing the Wii with his dad. I think we may be making some more tonight too so watch this space!



I love the Zendala one so much that I made it into a pendant and am wearing it today!



Thanks for looking.

Zentangles anyone?

If you are looking to try Zentangles for yourself then here is a great link that has examples of tons of tangles to use in your Zentangle.

Zentangle #4

After spending so much time looking at Zentangles on Flickr and Google I decided to try one with some basic shapes in pencil first and then fill in my patterns. So here is what I have come up with today. I'm not quite sure whether to leave it or carry on as I quite like it as it is and don't want to ruin it by going overboard. What do you think?

More Sketchbook pages - HIghly Prized

Continuing with the Sketchbook Challenge, I have now completed two peacock feather pages using doodling. I have also spent a little time wandering Flickr and came across some fantastic doodles which the artist has then made into fabric which is amazing. They've given me so many ideas to try and one of them I was actually thinking of this morning too which is odd. Anyway here are my latest two pages, Zentangles #2 & #3. Click picture to enter my Flickr photostream and you can see close ups too.



Thanks for looking.

Zentangle #1

Here is my first Zentangle, drawn using black MUJI pen in a small handmade sketchbook from Tremundo on Etsy.
