Burt and Laurie are visiting national parks on their vacation, and this was their first visit.
Laurie reports that they purchased a National Park Passport. “You know how I get about passports!” she says.
I do, as I believe they have completed their third McMenamin’s Passport.
Also, I made this Zentangle.
Who doesn’t love a calculator pun?
Sara reports a quiet weekend and their their new roommates have moved into the renovated basement.
Also, I made this Zentangle.
Look at me, shading with the white pencil!
I quite like how this one turned out, though am just noticing that one must rotate one’s head to the left to see the proper orientation.
A quick artist trading card made during a meeting…
Will this be the last entry? Stay tuned.
I really enjoy that scroll one. It’s simple repeated movements that come together into something cool. (Which is a nice summation of Zentangle, in general.)
When looking at these close up, it’s easier to see that I’m not really a fan of filling in spaces. I get distracted and the pen goes outside the lines as in the stairstep one, or I don’t completely fill up the black space, like the one on the right.
It’s not so visible in real-size though.
When in doubt, use tipple! That’s the tiny circles on the top on this one.
It reminds me of that Mr. Rogers (I think) segment where they filled the jar with marbles and then sand and then water to show that when you think something is full, it’s not. (Quick googling to see if I could find the segment has told me that this has become a priority metaphor. Which, fine.)
It’s coming along.
I enjoy how this one turned out, right down to the point where my initials fall off the page.
Note that the top and bottom one are both the same tangle, I just was much looser with the tracing inside the triangles on the bottom one.
I’m having trouble with that paper folding one, hence all the Bronx Cheer surrounding it.
We each had hand-lettered place cards, and got to take home a coaster. The cats on the coaster are smitten kittens, which is what Cheyenne’s daughter called Cheyenne and Renee.
As we went to our table Matt said, “Look, it’s that drawing thing you do!”
And it turns out that Cheyenne also Zentangles!
That tangle in the lower right-hand corner is called ‘Nzpple, and when learning it, I was told it would really pop when done. I very much doubted that would be the case as I worked through it, but when I was finished, pop it did!
