I am still working on the journal spread that I began around New Year’s. I wanted to include some Zentangle so I did all the numbers for the new year in a Zentagle fashion. However, when the new post on the Diva’s Weekly Challenge came up, the challenge entailed something completely different. So, I attempted to incorporate the patterns of Diva Dance and Auraknot as stipulated. I went and looked as some other examples from various artists on the web and formulated my ideas. I knew sort of what I wanted to do but I wasn’t sure how it would look in application. But aren’t journals the place for experimentation? So off I went with my grand Zentangling ideas for my journal with no attempt to practice or prepare at all. LOL Here is how the spread looks now (is in a large journal and thus it takes scans of each page separately to capture it all):
I think I need a little more practice with the Diva Dance pattern (can you find my mistake?…) but the Auraknot went pretty easily and quickly. I want to add lots more color and I will probably do a lot more journaling and personal writing on this spread than a more arty option. You will likely be seeing this all again down the road some time in the future as I progress with it or finish it…
I am posting this on these blogs today:
Enjoy your week and I hope y’all had a happy first week of the New Year!! 🙂
