Zentangle #42
Using my own string! This is the first one using my own string since I first got started; I was in the mood for a curl. I used a combination of patterns including Budded borders, Chainging, and Iza.

Using TanglePatterns string 039 and a curly quilting pattern. I like the basic contrast between curls and lines.

Zentangle #44
Using TanglePatterns string 040 and patterns Twile, Funls, Twister, Drupe, and Onamato. I made a bit of a boo boo, thus the big black spot, which kinda sucks, but I like the rest.

Zentangle #45
Using TanglePatterns string 041 and patterns Drupe, and Suzanne McNeill’s woven pattern. These are two of my favourite patterns at the moment: they are so simple, but effective.

Zentangle #47
Using TanglePatterns string 043 and patterns Ansu, Hi-Cs, and Fife. I often make the mistake of making grid-based patterns too small, so this time I made Fife really big. I quite like it, although...

Zentangle #48
Using TanglePatterns string 044 and variations on the Fife pattern. This wasn’t quite as effective as I’d hoped. Perhaps I shouldn’t have tried to fill the square… That’s something I’m learning, you...

Zentangle #49
Using TanglePatterns string 045 and patterns Bunzo, Chainging and Strircles. Lesson learned! You don’t have to fill the square! I thought with the complexity of this string that the Zentangle would not...

Zentangle #51
Using TanglePatterns string 047 and patterns Onamato and Fricle. Shame my hand isn’t steadier… usually it’s not too bad, but occasionally it goes wonky. Otherwise I find this one quite pleasing.

Zentangle shoes
I bought these cheap shoes ages ago meaning to draw on them. I finally did it! It was quite fun. I used Sharpie Stained markers (they’re for fabric). I needed about 1.5 markers to cover the shoes. I...

Fineliner Pens & Meerkatsu
This review of fineliner pens by Meerkatsu is great. While I haven’t used all the pens he reviewed, my experience with the Sakura and UniPin are pretty similar to his. He doesn’t seem to have used...

Zentangle #52
Using TanglePatterns string 048 and patterns Knightsbridge and Annee. Trying out a new pattern, Annee, which is cute. Also, this Zentangle marks the end of my first sketchbook. Yes, I did rip out a few...

In my previous post I mentioned the Meerkatsu review of fineliners and said that my experience was similar. However, on a few major points my experience has been rather the opposite. Sakura Micron 01...

App integration on iOS
I just discovered that app integration and sharing on iOS is so much better than it used to be! I might be way behind the times on this… I knew that photo apps integrate across the OS in some ways:...

Zentangle #57
Using TanglePatterns string 053 and the Sakura Micron fineliner. For my previous Zentangle (not posted on the blog) I used a Staedtler fineliner and I was not impressed; it created lines much thicker...

Zentangle #59
Using TanglePatterns string 055 and the pattern Mak-rah-mee. Again, I wish my cords were a bit more even in width, but overall the effect is still nice.

Bailey
This is my first watercolour. His name is Bailey, I met him at Attunga in Canyonleigh NSW. I used student watercolour pans; the girl in the art shop recommended that they would be a lot easier for a...

Zentangle #60
Using TanglePatterns String 056 and lots of patterns! I was happy with how this came out. It’s not often I use white space as the foreground, I like it.

Zentangle #61
Using TanglePatterns String 057 and a pattern resembling Cubic. I wasn’t particularly thrilled with this one, but I like the idea of use the same pattern in different scales and overlapping.

Kaylee watercolour
This is my second (or third if you count the horrible fail that I hope no one will see) watercolour. It is of my pretty Kaylee… While I feel like I successfully painted a rabbit, and it was from a...

Zentangle #62
Using TanglePatterns String 058 and patterns cubic and a ribbon (don’t know if there’s a proper pattern name for it). I like overlapping edges with curves.
