Beads of Courage

If you are new to Zentangle pop over to The Diva's blog and read Laura's story. I am always inspired by her enthusiasm and spirit. This week her challenge #91 is named for Beads of Courage which is a charity that helps a child with a chronic illness or condition like Laura's youngest son.



 
Today I received  issue #2 of  Featuring magazine from The Netherlands.  Linda Farmer from tanglepatterns.com has written a superb article on Zentangle. It was lovely to see one of my tiles published also!!!

    Lovely! The top one looks like a quipu....an ancient calculator used by Indians to tally up goods when bartering.

    Beautiful both your tiles. The second one is my favorite. It reminds me of beads for jewelry called Pandora. Great. scene how you presented them.

    Love how the beads seem to be marching across the page in the first one and the second one has an underwater feel - exquisite work as always.

    So glad Didisch mentioned Pandora, because I knew it reminded me of something expensive and beautiful. Pandora is it! And so is your tile... Like the bouncyness of that first one, too.

    I am trying to figure out how you did the top one! Globes first? then add strings and open centers? Wow! The second is wonderful, too. very 'beadish" colors. Love the knots.

    Both are really, really beautiful! Your first one is so stunningly, deceptively simple and your second one makes me almost feel the beads moving. I love the beads and strings in the second, but also admire the background.

    Both tiles have such movement, and I love the touches of color in the second one, and the soft background. So well done!

    Both tiles are beautiful, if I had to pick one as a favourite it would be the second one.
