Zentangle Inspired Artwork

January 19, 2014

I just mailed out my swaps. I was in 2 different swaps this time.
The first one had to do with snowmen and blue and was to be on an ATC (Artists Trading Card)
Here are my 3 finals. One is for the hostess of the swap

This was done printing an old photo and tangled over it

This was a cute picture of snowmen I found and again tangled over it. I liked it so much I did it twice.

The second swap was done  on the standard 3.5 x 3.5 inch Zentangle tile .The tangles all started with the letter J. The first two are done this way. The third tile is a hostess gift I had already done.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

So those are my latest swaps. I did start a new journal January 6.

Last day of 2013. It is raining and cold outside.The Christmas decorations need to be packed up. I need to fold the towels in the dryer. Ray baby will be home soon and I need to think about dinner. First I wanted to share a couple of three things with you.


I finished a project in my journal. I think I will call her "Sleeping Lady".

Sleeping Lady by Terri Young

I don't normally entitle my artwork so this is a first. This is done on a 5.5" X 8.5" velum page in my journal  I used some gel medium and a stencil to get her face shape. The rest is all done with a 01 black Micron pen. She has a lot of depth and I'm happy with the results.
I hope you like her.

ATC by Terri Young

I also did a final tangle of the year. It doesn't have a name and is done on an ATC (Artist's Trading Card). ATC's can only be given away, never sold! The size is 2.5" X 3.5"I gave this one to the lady at the mail center. She has been so helpful to me and others I sent there. She really like it and commented on how it looked so 3D.

Secret Postcard Swap by Terri Young

My final piece of artwork was done for a Secret Postcard Swap. I was given a name and created this 4" X 6" postcard. On the back is my name, date, and a quote about artwork. This was done on a piece of scrapbook paper from Somerset Studio magazine. I used the colors to determine the shape of the designs. This one was sent to Linda McMillian, a talented zentangler in her own right!

That's all I have for now. I'm off to begin packing up the Christmas decorations! Anyone want to come help?
