Small Treasures Part 1
Yesterday Art Clubbers and I started a new project called “Small Treasures”. This is a mix of black and white and brown pen ZIA project over distressed papers.
We worked on two fun enhancers: Encapsulate and Edgework. Encapsulate is a concept of my own invention where only a few fragments of a tangle are treated in a way to form a tight, encapsulate nugget-like shape.
Here are some examples of encapsulated tangles:
In order to work, encapsulated tangles use a lot of “Edgework”, another enhancer of my own invention, where the edge of a tangle along the string line is treated to work 3-Dimensional.
In Part 1 of this project we prepared the distress paper partially and created an encapsulated design. Here are some of the samples I had made beforehand using encapsulated Fishskirt (my own tangle).
In Part 2 we will complete the project, embellish and shade.

Last Wednesday I attended a CZT After Hours conducted by Heidi Froelich where she explored Ratoon (Zentangle). Of course I had to create another brown/sepia Journal Tile. I also included tangles Florz, Braze, Garlic Cloves (Jacquelien Bredenord) and Chrissie, a rather new tangle by Martina Ramhapp.
