When I first started blogging, I shared something called Zentangle. It’s basically art doodling that repeats a series of patterns and is done primarily in black and white. I haven’t taken any of the formal classes but just kinda started doing my own interpretation of it and it’s very addicting!
One of my son’s friends was over visiting last week and my sketchbook was out and she was enthralled by my doodles. So I thought I’d do her initial in a doodle!
I didn’t just want to tear it out of my sketchbook to give to her so I painted an unfinished frame from Ikea, then dry brushed it and applied some rub ons that have a similar doodle pattern and some words from the same pack.
I also thought I’d try out Big Huge Labs photo editing which I learned about from Viv at the V Spot Blog. I used it to create the mosaic of pics seen above.
Of course I had to finish the frame off with some strategically placed bling. Just a rhinestone in the middle of each flower. Got the stamp of approval from my son.
I need to look at that zentangle website. I think this turned out fun and cute. this is a very thoughtful gift:)
ReplyDeleteTerrific and very special gift. xx
ReplyDeletethat's great! I've been zentangleing myself, I take a journal with me to doodle in when I go on errands with my husband to the bait store, he stays in there forever!
ReplyDeleteHow very fun! I love doodle drawings like this. I bet she loved it!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. Love this!
