AEDM#19. new technique

Now this may look a bit wierd! Or even octopussies (!). But I wanted to try a different technique. This was to use watercolour pencils, letting them go where they may, the same with the watering bit. After that use black micron for the tangles  on the colour, then coloured pen for spaces inbetween. I was quite pleased with the result and it was fun to do.

AEDM#18

Yesterday I had a table with a friend at the local Arts Market. I displayed both paintings and zentangles, managing to sell two small framed zias. There was quite an interest in the zentangles and a number signed up to do some workshops. Whilst there I began this zendala and finished it when I came home.

The market was quite an unexpected experience. I thought it would be hard work and maybe get a bit boring just sitting there. I was pleasantly surprised. Because there were two of us we could take turns at looking around at the other stalls and chat to other stall holders, who were only too pleased to share their experiences and pass on informative hints. Such a range of delightful art and craft. So many talented people.
After four hours it felt like a little community. As well as the stall holders there was aconsiderable number of people and past students who passed by and chatted. The day went in no time!

Now I put the photo here it looks rather a mess!! Didn't notice it on the day, we just wanted to display as much as we could. Oh well, guess its all experience and we'll look more presentable next time!

AEDM#17

I had this zendala half drawn, so completed and coloured it for AEDM. Also thought I would put the second half of my split comp colour chart for reference.( Other half on http://preciousworker.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/aedm14-and-split-comp-colours.html

AEDM#16 and col'd zendala 31

I managed to find time to colour my zendala dare 31. I used Inktense coloured pencils with added water.

AEDM#15 AND ZENDALAS

I really enjoy working on Erin's zendala dares! Here's a few more repeat ones in black and white. The smaller one I plan to colour.

AEDM#14 and split comp colours

I just thought I would do another split complementary colour chart, make it simpler and easier to follow than the previous one as a better reference. The first half will be AEDM#14.

AEDM#13 Front door welcome

No artwork on the go today but I did think some of the nice flowers I planted in pots by my front door to welcome people on Open Studios Day may count! Oh, and another birdie pic!
