Something different for the week end !

Hi all, hope your loving your week end............I've been away for a few days and did a bit of exploring ! Had a wonderful break with Hubby and Max........
Didn't get much stitching done though, so today I am showing you a little bit of artwork that I do from time to time..............................


This is a watercolour that has been overlayed with Faber castel polychromos pencils and ink pens for the line work.............................................................
I do plan to use elements of this artwork for embroidery as I think it lends itself perfectly to Fibre art !!
I also dabble in a bit of 'doodling' now and again........namely ZENTANGLES !!
There is an amazing array of artwork out there on the WWW...........................
Just enter the 'Z' word into a search engine and you will discover a whole new world of art........................................................


like this piece that I am in the process of completing ! Can you imagine this as an embroidery 
Well thats all that I have today to show you all...............Thank you all so much for popping by...............keep safe, be happy and have a wonderfully creative week end.....................xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  3. You are so clever! Both these pieces are elegant and magical, and I can well see them as embroideries, but I guess they would be rather time consuming?!
    Have a wonderful weekend.

  9. Beautiful! I love your Zentangles work and that you add color. Playing with my rapidographs and colored pencils is the only way I get to that Zen place in my head. Have you played with colored inks in your pens, addicting.
    You also have a great weekend.

  10. Sorry Chris, I don't know how I did not see this before, it did not come up on my "Blogger Dashboard" and I selected your name on the left hand side to see how long ago you last blogged and THERE IT WAS.
    This is something that I did not know your talents rose to, there is no stopping you. Really lovely and in stitchwork they would be out of this world. I always admire your work, when they gave out talent you had more than your fair share which is good for us, your followers, keep it up. Looking forward to the next one. xx
