Day 73: 365 Daily Project - Rock it!

Tangles: Sez ( I used the holes as the "seeds")
& a possible new tangle I haven't named yet.

Luckily I have a plethora of rocks lying around.  This is another one from my favorite beach to visit in California.  Some sea creature burrows into the rocks and creates these holes.  I just love them and can spend hours walking around and searching for the perfect rocks.  Anyway - I grabbed this one from my collection and so I decided to focus on the holes and work out from there.  I used my Sakura Gelly Roll pen which works "okay" on rocks.  It gives me the line width I am looking for, but doesn't lay down the ink as nicely as I would like.  A really fine tip paint pen is what I would LOVE but haven't found the right one yet. If you know one I should try PLEASE leave a comment. :-)

Day 72: 365 Daily Project - New Shoes

Tangles: Cyme, Flux, Tipple, Fringe

How awesome is it that I get to buy a new pair of shoes because my project called for me to use shoes.  Darn :-)  I found these cute canvas sneakers at Target and decided to go with grey since I just wore out my grey Converse.  

I have tangled a a couple other pairs in the past but I never wear them. So I wanted to set out to create a pair  would actually like to wear. I was super happy to have my grey Fabrico fabric pen so the design was more subtle than a black pen.  I also repeated the same patterns on each shoe so they matched a little.  

I am pretty happy with these and plan to wear them when the weather decides to cooperate and be nice again.

Day 71: 365 Daily Project - Back to the Olden Days

Tangles: "Nzeppel, Fringe

Today we are supposed to make something from the olden days and immediately I thought of doilies.  I don't own any and I don't want any but for some reason it is what popped into my mind.  Weird, right?  But I thought I would try to make a zentangle doily.  I used a renaissance zendala tile and then aged it with some distress ink.  I used a white Sakura Gelly Roll pen to do the tangling and trimmed the outside edge to match the edge fringe.
