Zentangles -starting my adventure with zentangles

I am starting on a new journey ..... zentangles.  I have always loved pen and ink drawings, but now I have a fun way to doodle and improve skills daily without cleaning my rapidiograph pens.  Just a small notebook, a sharpie and a pencil  Here are a few of my first ever zentangles.

Pen and Ink

I am finally getting around to posting my finished pen and ink lighthouse.  I used it as one of the gifts for my family Christmas games.  I also made angels, satin ornaments, wallets from chocolate wrappers, book marks and lots of those bags that get thrown in the microwave to heat up and put on sore backs.  They had a lot of fun steeling the gifts from each other.  My second oldest  sister and her husband got the lighthouse painting.  It will go great in her TV room which has a lighthouse theme.
Here is a picture of the finished lighthouse, the edge is cut of due to the scanner size.

A change of venue

I've gotten my pen and inks out and am taking a class.  Forgot how much I likes doing this; it is so relaxing.  I finished my inking, I pick up my brushes today. still waiting on the paints to arrive.  Here's a peek at the ink drawing.
