Picture as a String in Brown

This week I tried something I’ve wanted to try for a long while: using one of my old pictures as a string. I printed a previous picture very lightly over thick watercolor paper and proceeded to tangle over it, using my new favorite shading technique with brown inks.

The picture took several days to finish and I will confess that it was a little too large for my taste (tangled area measures 4.5x7 inches). That’s a LOT of tiny tangling!

If you’re wondering about the picture underneath, here’s a mini-step out of the process:

And here are some other views, including a close-up. All the shading was done in ink, no pencil.

Feel free to share or pin these images.

Slow Stitching
Slow Stitching

Zentangle, Mandalas, Zendoodle, Labyrinth, Neurographica, what other types of meditative arts are out there? This week I discovered Slow Stitching. Apparently it’s a relatively new term (since around 2014) to describe intuitive, non-planned embroidery. You may not know this, but I’ve been in touch with fiber arts and embroidery very early on in life, taught by my grandmother. My skills are rusty at best, but I thoroughly enjoyed the process of adding bits of ribbon, fabric and even paper to form a small square patch, one stitch at a time.

Mandala in Brown
Mandala in Brown

Continuing my explorations shading with brown ink, I created this mandala measuring 7x7 inches using bits and pieces of tangles and fragments I like. I used my new wonderful printer to print out one of my templates over watercolor thick paper and tangled over it using a brown micron pen. Such fun! The entire thing took me two days, trying to not overdo it.

Still playing with shading with brown inks. There are no watercolors here at all, only inks. This is challenging! This tile is from a CZT After Hours session conducted by Aimee Saccio - thank you! - with the beautiful LineLace tangle by Reyes Galindo.

Rusty Balloon Pop-up
Rusty Balloon Pop-up

I'm playing with several things lately: learning how to make popup cards, how to paint and shade using ink and watercolors, and how to use my new inkjet printer. Here I duplicated a balloon shape originally drawn with brown pen and inks, then printed out several pieces to collage on a V-fold pop-up card. The result is an explosion!!!

Be Well 2024 Final Pop-up
Be Well 2024 Final Pop-up

I participated in the 2024 Zentangle BeWell event. Instead of using triangular tiles, I created a white base pop-up card using almost exclusively triangular V-folds and added each tangle of the event every day. The main challenge of this project was to make something that would flatten out completely so that I can draw over it after the pop-up is constructed. Here’s the final piece!

Continuing my explorations shading with brown inks, some more successful than others. The main tile shown here was made during a CZT After Hours session with Patty Duffy - Thank you! A radial formation with a serrated Fescu which looks more like Drawings, and an Opus border.

Tagh String
Tagh String

Another Art Raffle pulled out by some friends May 23 2024 - I made a few alterations and switched a few cards. I used Tagh (Zentangle) as a string and then spherified the other tangles. I used Crease (Sam Taylor), Gust, Tagh and Quabog (Zentangle). The raffle also asked to use Decorative Borders which I happily obliged. The challenge here was in the shading: I used only brown and sanguine ink, no pencils at all.
