First is this week's dare, which was a really fun one with great working spaces.
Next is Dare 39--the ZenDon't. You were supposed to NOT do what you usually do. This was quite a challenge! So I didn't do black and white, which I always do. Got out my watercolor pencils instead and went to town. I didn't shade, another of my usuals. I tried not to stick too closely to the template--although that might have been asking a little too much of myself. But I did venture outside the lines some.
I was concentrating so much on the color, I realized I hardly used any tangles! Now there's a "don't" if I ever heard one! :-)
I got a chance to look at a few of the ZenDon'ts from other people, and it was so interesting to see what you all did and how you pushed yourself. I hope to get around to look at everyone's this week.
hey Karen these are delightful! Both have a freshness to them and the coloured one is full of life.
ReplyDeleteLike your use of phicops and meers. The shading and use of white and dark spaces facilitates a nice layered effect.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is absolutely stunning! But, that does not mean I dont like the second one :-)
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back here!
Both are great, imlove your colored one. In particular the border of that zendala is very powrfull. #41 has a great centre circle. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your zendala - such great depth and a nice choice of tangles! I 'specially like your phicops.
ReplyDeleteLove the color in your second one, especially the blue lines and color on the outer edge.
Karen, these are gorgeous!!! 39 through 42--wow, you're way ahead of me! Haha...I got stumped on last week's and just printed out 42 for this week....Beautiful, beautiful, all of these! I really love the Zendon't, the color is scrumptrilescent (Will Ferrell there...) and it's so sweet to look at! I'd be framing that one! =0)
