DIVA MEDITATIONS

Wow, hard to believe August is coming to a close.  Summer is rushing by.

This week's Diva Challenge is all about meditation.  It's from Holly Atwater, a CZT who has been experimenting with recording Zentangle® meditations like the one Molly created so successfully.  I enjoy doing these and I thought I would give it a try, so here are the three pieces I created as a result. 

They were supposed to be done with regular black and white techniques, but I couldn't help using a multicolored pencil for shading. 

The only multicolored pencil I can now get makes shading MUCH more difficult to do; the lead is not at all soft the way good monochromatic colored pencils are.  It's very hard and can't be smudged with a tortillion at all, so once you put it down on the page, it's immovable.  I did the best I could--I just had to have some color...

About meditation three:  If you also participated in this challenge and you wonder why this looks different from yours, it's because I added Paradox in both corners.  I just could not resist breaking rules for this Diva Challenge.  Sorry!

There is a second challenge which I haven't yet had time to do; will post that later or tomorrow, if I can get to it.

Meanwhile, look what just arrived in the mail from Shutterfly--my heart mirror-tile cards from the mirror-tile I made the other day (see my original in the August 19th post).  I love them!  Cannot wait to inflict one on somebody.
