ZIA, tangles and something for christmas

Hello again!

This week I've done some Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA) for selling at the christmas market of Primus' school. I've made  homemade clay ( 1/2 cup cornstarch. 1 cup baking soda. 3/4 cup water), and built hearts and stars. 

stars with paradox and golden jellyroll:

hearts with several tangles and lilac jellyroll:

Icantoo and Tripoli are everything this tile needed. 

I challenged myself to enjoy the blank space between the tangles,  because I used to fill in every little space of a tile. It wasn't easy, but it's something I have to practice.

Black tiles are hard for me to do. I used a jellyroll on black and tried some shading with a white charcoal. I didn't like it. How to shade this?!?

Some practice:

And what I've done with it:

Last but not least, I want to show you what Tertia did for me in the kindergarden. She is 4 and I'm so proud!  Isn't this lovely? 

Thank you for all of your kind comments on instagram, twitter and on my blog! I appreaciate this very much, and I hope, I will improve my skills soon. Thanks for all!

Have a nice week and thanks for stopping by.
