Since I wrote this post, I learned that Dilip's father passed after struggling with cancer. My heart goes out to Dilip and his family. May your memories always be a source of joy and the love of those around you always be a source of strength and comfort.
The Diva's challenge this week was hosted by Erin Koetz Olson. She has a great blog, and is also a paramedic and is participating in Relay for Life. She created a mandala to bring attention to this worthy cause. Here's what I did:
Of course, I HAD to add color, and had fun using my gel pens and markers. I can't resist bringing my mixed media self to the Zentangling world! I know some of my tangles are unorthodox, and appreciate sharing them with this great community.
For anyone visiting me from the Diva's blog, please check out Paint Party Friday, where I am the featured artist this week. I think it would be so great for some of the wonderful artists from the Zentangle world to link up to PPF and share what they are doing. I am also linking up to Creative Every Day and Artists in Blogland.
Have a wonderful week. If you are moved to comment, please know that hearing from you means the world to me!
Very colorfull and it workout very nice.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Jessica! I will have to get up the courage to use some colored pens and markers. I am always afraid I will make the colors too dark and mask the pen.
ReplyDeleteNever tried these zentangles but I've been seeing it all over. Think I'm going to try it one of these days. Great work! Patsy from

Your Diva challenge zentangle is so amazing with the patterns and colors working together! I haven't zentangled much but I want to get into it more - these would make such great carved stamps.
ReplyDeleteThey are both quite lovely. Your use of color is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow! What detail!! Love it - I had to keep on coming back for another look.
ReplyDeleteI like the diamond spaces you filled in with Hibred looking tangle. Really brings the attention to different sections of your piece.
ReplyDeleteFantasyland for the eye!
