Holidays and colour .

Wow! I was so excited  to receive a nomination for fascinating blog,  what an honour. I shall have to catch up seriously now. I noticed I havent blogged for a month, dear , dear.

I had a great two weeks in WA with my six grandchildren. Actually another was born to the same family last night!! This time I stayed overnight in Perth rather than do the trip in one go. After a four and a half hour flight which follows an hour and a half train trip, there is a three to four hour drive north from Perth to where the family lives. Breaking the journey is certainly a better way to travel. Whilst away I shared with some friends about Zentangle, they were most interested and wanted to know lots about it. Of course my littlies also love tangle patterns and avidly drew while I was there.

Abbey (7) is proud of her work

I was delighted with this one!

Adrien(9), loved to use colour.





Here we have the whole tribe!



I like the way the patterns contrast with the colour, which was applied with coloured pencils.




Some bookmarks I made for friends



Life has been hectic despite being holidays. I guess its a time when people catch up with each other. Nevertheless I managed to find some time to play around with different ways to colour my tangles.



For this I used Prismacolour Verithin pencils. I found they blended quite well, and were good for fine detail.







I used a colour wash background for this one. I did quite a few with grandies..they LOVE the technique.
Used coloured pencils for shading with some wuite gel pen for highlights.

So thats all I have for now. I have recently worked with some Gelly roll pens but have yet to scan those. Maybe tomorow...
