This is sort of a pre-draw for an 11×14 painting I have been asked to do in exchange for a friend sewing my boys’ a couple of Cars themed blankets. She is also going to make my drawing into a square quilt using this sketch.
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.
Here is a fabric house pouch that I sewed for a swap that I hosted on Swap-bot.com. That’s right, yet another craft or form of art that I love (and can’t find much time to do). I don’t host swaps that often anymore, but used to host a ton of quilting and sewing swaps. I stopped doing so because the quality of sewing I received in return wasn’t so hot, and a lot of people weren’t into the sewing ones anymore. So after a couple of years I figured what the heck I’d host again. This is the one that I just sent my partner yesterday. The one that I received in the mail? Yep, that same quality that I remembered from a couple of years ago. Live and learn I guess. I WON’T be hosting another anytime soon. Don’t get me wrong, I love Swap-bot.com, but lately it’s become a lot of simply trading pre-made $$ store items, supplies, or paper-made artsy stuff like ATC’s (which I’m not really that into unless they are hand-drawn or zentangle). I hope that my partner likes this one!
Did this one for a swap on Swap-bot.com. The theme was owls. I chose to keep the artwork mostly black and white with a few Zentangle patterns. I used Micron black ink pens and Faber-Castell watercolor Pitt pens.
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.
So a lot of the work that I show on here is related to Zentangles, but what you don’t know about me is that I enjoy creating A LOT of types of artwork. Here is a monotype that I created while participating in a workshop at a local art gallery. I used cheesecloth, the handle of a paint brush, Q-tips, and squares of cardboard to create this piece. It’s about 8 x10 in size. I haven’t worked in this medium for quite some time, but it felt really good to play around again. Enjoy!
