Along with the cards, I ordered a t-shirt with a similar design.
I am thinking of adding some embellishments to the shirt. Maybe some Setacolor paint, too?
Here are a couple of Zentangle journal pages that were inspired by Sandy Steen Bartholomew's book, Totally Tangled.
I recently purchased the book Journal Fodder Junkies by by Eric M. Scott and David R. Modler.
They are going to be among the presenters at Art of the Carolinas 2011 in Raleigh. I was trying to decide if I wanted to take one of their classes, or perhaps just glean what I could from the book. It is a helpful book. I have learned a few new tricks, and have started a few new pages which include painted backgrounds and collage elements. The musicians on my first page are The Kruger Brothers, a talented trio whose music we have grown to love after seeing them at Merlefest.
The one above is really bold and graphic. I made a packing tape transparency which I might add to it.
The next one has a watercolor background with salt sprinkled while wet to get the frosted effect. I have added the most beautiful illustration of a little girl that was in my husband's old French textbook from college. Inside the book I also found the ticket to a basketball game between NCSU and UNC from January 1970! I doodled some designs with watercolor pencil and a Sharpie paint marker. Now it needs some text.
These are so much fun, I could play with journal pages all day!
