A Zentangle Journal Page

Day six into a nasty stomach bug, and I'm just beginning to see a faint light at the tunnel's end.  I spent much of the day water coloring panels that I had stamped, since I'm still not up to much of anything involving, well, any kind of compositional creativity, or thinking, or....moving much from the couch!

So I decided to finish a page that I had started in my Zentangle journal.  I tangled the page a while back, and started coloring it with Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils when our grand girls were here during the February break.  They love to tangle with Nana, and do very well!

It's difficult to get a good picture, as the journal is a large sketch book, and to get the entire picture, I could not get a close picture.  I decided on rainbow colors.  The tangles are Flowerly and Meringue, with some circles here and there.  It was a fun tangle project, and kept me occupied for a while this afternoon.  

I am adding this page to the The Daily Marker 30 Day Color Challenge.  I missed days one and two, due to the aforementioned bug, but I posted a set of cards yesterday, and this today.  Hopefully I will be able to participate the rest of the days.

Thank you for visiting.  I hope to see you tomorrow!

Zentangle Challenge Tile

It has been a very stressful day, accompanied by insistent pain in my knee from a previous accident.  I took some ibuprofen, but that barely took the edge off.  So, out came my Zentangle journal, and I made myself busy creating and playing.  I checked on the Facebook Zentangle groups, and this week's One Challenge over at Purely Zentangle is to use the tangle pattern Flowerly, by Ina Sonnenmoser.  So, I gave it a go....

It's not my best work, but it kept my mind occupied, and my hands busy.  I am proof that Zentangle really does help with pain control.  The pain never really goes away, but my mind is so focused that the pain....and also the stresses of life....kind of take back burner while your mind is focusing and involved with tangling.

The other two tangle patterns I used in this tile are Eddyper by Damy, and Cadent by Maria Thomas.

I will post some of my journal pictures soon.  I am playing with some color on a couple of them now.

Thank you for visiting.  See you soon!

Blessings,
