challenge #70 and Art Show award

This weeks challenge from Laura was to use the colour sepia. As I seem to be into zendalas at the moment, I used black and brown to design the following.
Arriving at the Yaragon Art Show this morning I was greeted with "Guess who won the 'Best Drawing ' prize?" Now I thought it would be my friend Bertie, as she had entered a lovely sketch of an English cottage. "No, it was Anne Marks" Could have knocked me down with a feather! Evidently the line work in my zendala can be classed as drawing. The judge was impressed with the evenness. Freehand of course. (Thats why its not perfect ha ha). So here's a picky to prove it and a photo of me demonstrating. SOOOO much interest in zentagles! Bertie did get a Highly Commended award for her 'Teaset" . She won't mind if I put it here though its not a great shot due to reflections. Good that zentangling is now winning awards here hey!
