A Zentangle-like-thing

So everybody is talking about zentangles...  What are they, I ask?!

So I googled it,
and then youtubed it
and then had a go...




I'm quite pleased. 
It's not like me really. 
You just free style it with no thinking it through and no planning beforehand. 
And there is no pencil lines before ink, no rubbing out and no going back and starting again.
And it's not meant to be perfect. 
A concept I struggle with. 




I'm sure you are not meant to analyse it when you've finished but other than seeing all the mistakes and things I'd do differently the large section at the top stands out to me. 
I think it looks like bugs or insects! 
Not at all what I expected when I started out.

Probably something I will have a go at again. 
Next time I'd love to throw some colour in too... 
but then it wouldn't be a zentangle...
would it?

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
