I finally branched out to another variation of the ice drop - I don't remember if this pattern has a name or not, but I like it! I'm not sure what I'll try next - but I feel like I need to do several of a pattern before I move on. OCD? Ha ha.
And it's been really nice outside here the past few days, so anything to get outside for a minute. Even to get a photo - the yard isn't very nice looking yet, but it will do for a background - just to breathe in some fresh air :)
It's fun planning our summer tatting retreat - it's not until July, but I know it will come up fast. We really don't want to plan a detailed retreat, but it helps to have some kind of outline. I'm SO looking forward to it!

I've been back to a little tangling this week too - and playing with some colored backgrounds. It's been a few weeks since I played with Zentangle, so I feel like I've "lost" a little that I had learned about lines and shading. Like anything else, you have to keep practicing to keep growing.
I like the black ink over a colored background - and making the background is almost as much fun as the drawing :)
I love the zen tangle on that background!
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeletePretty icedrops for Spring!
ReplyDeleteI love your Ice Drops. That looks the variation of one of Patti Duff's Minitats. I was subbing for the art teacher last week, and the middle school students are learning about zentangle. When it's broken down into steps, it doesn't seem so overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteI hope the kids like Zentangle - it makes everyone feel like an artist!
DeleteAwesome looking Ice Drops!!! :) Fabulous colors choices too!! :)
