Q is for Quare

A to Z Challenge 2016:  Zentangle-Inspired Art

I will be tangling my way through the alphabet.  Zentangle is a form of abstract art formed from tangles: patterns of simple lines and curves.  A traditional Zentangle is drawn on a 3.5 inch square tile.  Since my art is in a larger format, it is Zentangle-inspired.  I will be using the list of tangles on Tanglepatterns.com to journey through a Zentangle-inspired alphabet this month.  Each day I will choose at least one tangle that is new to me.

P is for Paizel, Pineple, and Pinbawl

Personal Stuff
Allergies are affecting my life recently.  My eyes hurt.  It makes it difficult to be on the computer, to draw or to read.  I have fallen behind in the A to Z challenge because of my allergies, but I am slowly catching back up.

Interesting Stuff I Found on the Internet
Beaded Rocks  I am so inspired by this beadwork.  I already have a ton of rocks that I have found; I think I may need to bead some of them.

The legend of the Aran sweater:  an interesting read, dispelling some popular myths about Aran sweaters.

Modern Gypsy's A to Z of Art Journaling:  These posts are full of interesting techniques and information about art journaling.  I am enjoying them all.

Tanglepatterns.com  I have been using this website for a while now, and it is really helping me with my A to Z Challenge this month.  It's an amazing website!  If you are interested in Zentangle, you should definitely check it out.
