Postcrossing

I recently came across the website Postcrosing.  The site connects people from all over the world so they can send and receive postcards from all over the world.  I, of course, decided that I needed to make my postcards!  Here are my first 5 cards.
The green and purple ones are done with Sharpies on index card weight paper.  The other two are black sharpie on watercolor paper that I dressed up with... what else but watercolors prior to drawing,

Doll Dress

Doll Dress

This is made on an actual Zentangle tile.  I have seen others turn simple dress forms into beautiful Tangles... I tried to start with a VERY simple shape (because as I have said before... I can't draw!)  It isn't too bad for my first try... I think it would be easier if I tried it on a larger paper... there would be more room for my pen to "roam."

Pieces for my Daddy (part 2)

Here are 3 more pieces that I included in the frame for my Dad.

This is based on Deep In The Jungle by Miraculous Mosquito.  You can check out the tutorial here.

Pieces for my Daddy (part 1)

I bought a frame that had 9 open 4X6 spots on it for my dad and step-mother for Christmas.  I made a series of tangles for the frame.  The frame was made so it bends the pieces a bit and makes them curved.  It was very cool and I sure hope they liked it.  Here are some of the pieces I made:

This includes one of my favorite new tangles: FohBraid by Molossus.  You can get the steps here.

Name Tangles

I recently did my pre-clinical experiences for my degree in education and I had two teacher who helped me a lot with that.  I made the following signs for their rooms.  They are both about 8 X 6 in size.  I matted them on nice card stock and then laminated them.  I hope they liked them.

YEA!!!!

I hope you all are enjoying time with family and friends!
