More abstract work over watercolor paper. I used Bilt (Lisa Skeen), African Artist (Tina Hunziker) and Zentwining (Lynn Mead). I’m really enjoying the tangle Bilt - reminds me a bit of Betweed, but in a different way.

Another study for Inktober Tangles 2023: Day 3 is Caro (Lucy Farran) and Day 4 is Sunbelt (Jody Genovese). Sunbelt reminds me of Kangular, but it’s fun to put it in a ribbon. I did not dare make the Sunbelt variation… The only question now is: how long can I make it during this month? Will this last? :-)

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to extract urban details, and then use those details in a Zentangle Inspired piece. This one is from details extracted from the local church in Charlottetown, Canada during my recent trip.

This is what I've been up to during my holiday, abstract tangled art over super bold black and white inked background. Very different from my usual work, but I'm loving the power of black and white and the layered effects.

I’ve been taking a much needed vacation (and also healing from a really nasty case of Covid) with zero energy to post pictures. This one I made a few weeks ago for Autangle online challenge, using African Artist (Tina Hunziker) and Kensington (Anoeska Waardenburg).
