This was originally for a challenge, and then life got in the way and I forgot about it. Alas, I have finished it. See if you can see the initials “CP”. This was done on a goldenrod colored cardstock that someone sent me for a swap, using Micron black ink pens, and Recollections Signature gel pens in silver and gold. I also used Faber-Castell PITT pens in a gray to do the shadowing.
This one was created using Micron pens and Faber Castell PITT artist pens. This is supposed to be inspired by St. Patrick’s day for the I am the Diva challenge #159 (http://www.iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/). At the center is a four leaf clover surrounded by a variety of patterns and two hues of green.
Here is a Zentangle-inspired ATC that I did for a swap through http://www.Swap-bot.com. I don’t generally do ATCs, only every now and again. This is done on Bristol board with Micron ink pens in black.
This tutorial is created by me, Crystal Paul using the template for tutorial designs from http://www.tanglepatterns.com
This one is one I did prior, but happens to run along with this week’s challenge by I am the Diva (http://www.iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/). Micron pens on Bristol board with a 2H pencil for shading.
This is an original Zentangle inspired artwork with a heart theme for the I am the Diva Challenge #154. This was drawn on an unknown piece of paper that has a slight yellow hue to it, using Micron black ink pens, a Sharpie black ink non-bleed fine tip pen, and Faber Castell watercolor pens.

This is an original artwork inspired by the Zentangle Method that can be found on the site below. This particular drawing was done as part of I Am the Diva’s #153rd challenge to use the tangle “Jailed Johnny”. I used watercolor pencils and a paintbrush to add the background, then used both Micron and Sharpie non-bleed ink pens to add the detail. To add shading I used a FaberCastell watercolor marker in grey.

This is the first of a possible series of artwork inspired by words that describe New Year’s resolutions. This one is titled “Successful”. For this year, 2014, I will strive to be successful in everything, but most important, I wish to find a job in my field. This particular artwork has no shading.
