After a very long day at work today, I need some relaxing down time. My favorite thing to do for that is art work and more specifically Zentangles.I have been hooked on them ever since I found out about them almost 6 months ago.
The first one I did was this little bird. Maybe that comes from my part time job at PetsMart !!!!
Whatever, it just seemed like a fun idea.
THE ARTICHOKE
Thanks to Valentino Ramos for the inspiration.
I must give some credit for this Zentangle to where I first saw it which was on the blog of Valentino Ramos .
She is an amazing artist who's work I just happened on to here in Blogworld.
I love her Zentagle works that at 3D- different, unusual and just amazing. I was so inspired by her Artichoke Zentangle I had to try one of my own.
SO, a big thank you to Valentino even though she has no idea who I am, for giving me this inspiration. You can go to her blog which is linked above to see her work.

This is so gorgeous!!! I went over to Valentinos version, and it is very different. I like your more loose style with a few sections you gave some flair to. I love the addition of the green. Awesome artichoke!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this post! :) I *LOVE* your style!

ReplyDeleteI have a friend who's been doing freeform zentangles for years. I showed her the zentangle link and she said "Oh, there's a name for what I do? I thought I was doodling!"
I'm off to the link to see her artichoke :)
Your Zents are fabulous! My mind doesn't think in that direction, so I am not so good at these, but yours are great! Especially that artichoke!
