Last week I attended a beading class during which I made necklace charms with wire-wrapped beads. It was interesting, and since I had all kinds of wire left over, I've made a few since then. Here are the ones I made at the class... they turned into mother's day gifts for my mom and my boyfriend's mom.

I also recently tried my hand at embellished letters using zentangle and colour. I think I need to play and experiment with them a bit more - I don't like to make mistakes, and I need to let myself so that I can learn how to play with my artwork. I like how they turned out (Sakura gel pens are so much fun!).
This week's mandala challenge was a lot of fun for me - I loved the design and the combination of curves and straight lines. Here's my submission - thank,
Erin, for doing this every week! I don't always get to them, but I always go and check out everyone else's!

Goodness Gracious! You are right! Nice!
ReplyDeleteYour lines are so straight!! I'm jealous. I have to make my lines bolder after I initially draw them to hide my bumps. Looks great and I love your bead work.
ReplyDeleteAlso a very very beautifull zendala. I love also the middle.
ReplyDeleteI love your Flux centre - it is brilliant, combined with the outside edge - fantastic zendala.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully drawn and shaded. Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful; Cresent Moon is great here.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm impressed by all your different artwork. The bead ornaments are gorgeous. I always love pieces with words or letters, and I think you did great on those two. Your zendala is beautiful. It almost looks like it is done with a machine. Al your tangles are so nice and even done. I love the center part. Flux is one of my favorite tangle.
ReplyDeleteI love yuor embellished letters, very elegant.
ReplyDeleteAnd your Zendala is PERFECT,the centre is faboulus!
Your line work is so very precise, resulting in an amazing zendala. Each section is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! love the movement and depth.
ReplyDeleteLike the folded effect created by the line work and shading. Nice combination of tangles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work all around. Love the lettering. It's really quite lovely. The bead work is so pretty, too. Great silver curliques. The zendala is wonderful, too. It reminds me of one of those old fashioned posies with the fanned out doilies. You are definitely on a creative roll.
ReplyDeleteI love 'Flux' as your center! Your line work is extra-ordinary,too! Looks like you had fun doing this one.
ReplyDeleteBe happy and creative,

Love to see your other work and interests - all beautifully done and I admire your embellished letters. Your Zendala is very eye-catching, especially the wonderful Flux centre, bordered by the simple but stunning "folds". Nicely done!
