You knew this was JUST a matter of time, right? That I would start to "tangle" my world? Well, here we go.
Florie was kind enough to order me a new hat for our Outdoor Artists Group that meets on Thursdays. A plain white hat. Plain? White? Uh oh.
It looked JUST like a blank spot for a Zentangle to me! Or a few of my favorites.
I sprayed the brim lightly with a matt acrylic spray first just to keep the inks from bleeding.
Then when I finished I did two more spray coats to help to waterproof it. This fabric took the ink very well and I was pleased that I could do some graphite shading on it. Well, we will see how this holds up.
I have started collected photos of how people use their Zentangles (shoes, walls, pianos, jewelry, motorcycle helmets, greeting cards, etc) as well as incorporating it into Zentangle-inspired art.
(Cool, windy and rainy in the north woods of WI today. I have a ton of company coming now over the next week. Sure hope it clears up soon. Not much posting for awhile. )
Love this! What a great idea. Bet you get loads of people asking about it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great way to decorate shoes and hats both.
ReplyDeleteI left it up north in WI and so now I am looking for another similar hat down here to tangle so I can show my friends how to do it.
If you look around on my blog you'll see a pretty fancy apron I tangled too! Thanks for stopping by!
