Diva's Challenge - Earth

In honor of Earth Day, this week's Diva's Challenge is to use the prompt of the Earth. I did this:


I used simple repeating flowers and leaves and then added the background that I made up on the spot. Perhaps someone already created a similar tangle, but I don't remember seeing it. It's completely colored because I can't imagine the Earth without all the beautiful colors of the nature.

I know, it's not much Zentangle like, but I still think it qualifies as Zentangle inspired.

  2. Wow, this turned out great! Love the colors you chose! I like the background you made, I am too new to this to know if it's already been "created as a tangle"... looks like you had fun! :)

  5. It definitely qualifies as a ZIA. I like your statement about not being able to imagine the earth without color...me too! But my tangle is Blk & Wht!

  6. The colors are wonderful! I should introduce colors into *my* work more often. Was this done using Copic markers? It's lovely whatever you used. Diana

  8. Wolfhowlings, the blacks might have been Copic multi liners, but I am not sure since I also use UniPin fine liners, too, and don't really pay attention to which one I grab. The colors are Faber Castell PITT artisan pens. They have a brush tip and they work well for me. I don't use markers enough to justify buying the expenisive Copics.

    Eveyrone, thanks for the sweet comments :)

  9. Very harmonic secondary color scheme! I think of your background as a tangleation of Sez, which features a scattering of dots and their auras. You utilized a scattering of dot triplets--things in threes are very pleasing. Lov the intense color in the shadows; really makes your image pop.
