A Bleedthrumanade Zentangle-Inspired Art - - - Fairy Corset?


I had fun with my Letraset Promarkers recently.  I played with twisting the chisel nib to and fro and was pleased with the effect, so I used the the technique to lay down the color for the piece shown below.  

Here it is before tangling: 

Fairy Corset? ZIA Front, Pre-Tangled

And here it is after tangling, with Cupid's Border, Featherfall, Flormeoba, Mulhouse Blooms, Ahh, Tipple, and Florz: 

Fairy Corset? ZIA Front, Tangled

And, the flip side (bleedthrumanade*),
with Hairy, Msst, Bloss1, Joli Coeur, Stripes, Queste, Baton and Tipple:

Fairy Corset? ZIA Bleedthrumanade* (Back), Tangled

P.S. - Do fairies wear corsets?

Just Call Me Mrs. Corset!


So, Earthling (aka my dear friend that called one of my Zentangle®s a "corset print") - here's another one! 

I think that image may stick in my head now and all subsequent drawings may subconsciously end up with boning and lace!

Garden Heart

Playing with Rhodia paper and Letraset Promarkers again, I decided to contrast pastels with a deep red center for this Zentangle®-Inspired Art (ZIA) piece.














I never quite know what I'll end up with when I start my Zentangle® journeys. Do you?  (Is that a bug's head in the middle? How did that get there? Is that a heart tangle underneath it?  Or is that the bug's mouth?)  WICCTM*

I started tangling over the bleedthru on the back of the paper, but I wasn't happy with the result, so back to the drawing board! 

Gladly!

New Tangles and Molossus-Inspired "Bleedthrumanades"




Creative Growth

Inspired by Molossus' incredible "Bleedthru- manade" Zentangle®-Inspired Art (ZIA), I laid down some color with Letraset Promarkers in my Rhodia No.16 pad in the shape that continues to recur in my strings, then tangled!  I love the vibrancy of these saturated colors.


Core Set

This is the "bleedthru" backside of Creative Growth.  I decided to let more of the color show on this side to give it a different feel.  Some color shapes I treated as strings, some I ignored.


My tangle "Kilroy" forms the border at the lower edge. The steps for Kilroy and two of my other tangles are shown below....


"Kilroy" was inspired by the famous WWII graffiti image (sans fingers).  "Bark" was inspired by the Dogwood blossom:
And "Pekinitch" is patterned after the Peking Stitch in embroidery:

If you 'adopt' any of these tangles, I'd love to see how you use them.  Enjoy!
