Every Inchie Monday - "Oak" and Inside My Sketchbook for Friday

Every Inchie Monday - "Oak"

This week's Every Inchie Monday Challenge is "Oak." I was inspired by Michele Beauchamp's Oke pattern for my inchie. I drew my leaves a little more curly and added some Diva Dance in the background. I had done several studies and liked how this one turned out. I think it was the Diva Dance pattern in the background that makes the oak leaves look so happy.

Tangles Used: Tipple, a Zentangle®-original; Diva Dance, a Zentangle®-original by Maria Thomas; and Oke by Michel Beauchamp

Pens: Royal Blue (BL6) and Grass Green (GR#) from the 5 Pen Primary Tones Set by Chameleon Color Tones, permanent alcohol ink pen system; Sakura Pigma Micron pen (.005) in black and brush in Sepia

Paper: White Cardstock 80-lb




Inside My Sketchbook for Friday

This is my first time participating in Joey's Inside My Sketchbook Link Up for Friday. I decided to show a ZIA drawing that I've been working on since before Christmas. I would work on it a little bit at a time.I finally was able to finish it this week. It has been interesting watching it evolve over several months.

Sketchbook Used: Strathmore, Mixed Media paper with vellum surface, 5.5 in. x 8.5 in., 90 lb

Pens: Sakura Pigma Micron pens (.005 and .01) in black

  2. Heather, your Oke is nicely done. Those Chameleon markers really perform in organic drawings. The sketchbook page is beautiful. I saw your work in Krahula's "500 Tangles." Very nice. Have a brilliant day! c

    1. Thank you. :) I didn't realize my artwork was selected in her book. I'll have to go check it out. That's exciting!

  4. Wow! I can see why it took you this length of time to complete it! I find most projects that I get sidetracked from never get finished so good for you for finishing it. It's beautiful!
    I also love your inchie and the border that you used, your signature is so fun too!
    Glad that you shared your work!
