Well, I am hoping that my blogger friends will realize that creative plagiarism is a high form of a compliment. Tangling a coffee pot was not my original idea. I saw two of them done on Margaret Bremner's blog a week or so ago and I was mesmerized. I mean, I had to try this.
I purposely did not go back and look at her blog again until AFTER I tangled my pot because I did not want to be influenced into using the same tangles she did. Which did not happen, by the way.
I used Sharpie oil-based paint pens (Margaret used a different kind of pen) and then I did the shading with a tip from another experienced Zentangle blogger, Sandy Bartholomew, and I mixed a tiny bit of black acrylic paint into acrylic medium to make a transparent gray.
After everything was dry I lightly sprayed two coats of clear acrylic over it. I am pretty happy with the results.
I am guessing that of the 200+ artists in the 30 day challenge I am the only one that tangled a coffee pot. :-)
Oh Ginny, Ginny, Ginny..... I loved looking at your studio. (can't figure out why, but I love to see other people's studios.... mine is part studio, and part grandbaby playroom.. ha !) Anyhoo, I bought a zentangle book, but I've never done anything with it... I'm inspired now. Your stuff looks so fun... I'm a painter, but taught drawing and HS art for my whole career.... thanks for sharing ! are you on facebook?
