A joy ride is combining ideas from Zentangle tiles to help create a large piece of Zentangle Inspired Art. Be free of plans and restrictions and the page gradually fills with little bits of tangle delights. I love the element of surprise when a tangle pops out from behind, turns corners, hides, circles around and ventures off into the unknown. It's a bit like a road map and a free Sunday afternoon with no particuar place to go. Feel the freedom of the open road and appreciate the scenery.
Wishing you a fun adventure this weekend and keep safe!

This Zia is lovely Michelle! And what you wrote is so true, things just happen it you go along tangling and you keep being amazed.
ReplyDeleteI love how you describe this as a joy ride. A different view around every corner. Your work is amazing. Deb
ReplyDeleteVery poetic post, Shelly. Beautifully executed composition. Love all the negative space where one can stop to...breathe, relax, enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGoodness me that is a huge page to fill - wonderful result
ReplyDeleteshelly - this is beautiful! i put it in a folder on my desktop for inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteand i spent about a half hour looking through your october, 2011, posts about your trip to the U.S. i enjoyed all the photos and your narrative. sounded like it was a fun trip and you got to see things i've never seen!
I'm curious Shelly. Do you do a pencil string over all or part? or just start and go? Obviously the circles are pencilled in first. I feel 'big' wiggling about at the back of my brain ('paint' too) but can't decide where/how to begin.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, yes I pencilled the 5 circles in the middle 1st, then went quite haphazard in different directions. I am looking forward to seeing your 'big' I am sure it will be spectacular!
ReplyDeleteamazing, Shelly. Working on this size is daunting, but you make it look so ethereal and delicate. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI adore you tripoli.It always fits in what ever you draw.Beautiful .
