The Diva's Challenge: the leaf
The challenge this week is to tangle in "leaves".
A very autumn challenge.
But while everyone is looking "up" into the ethereal magic of color it is also wise to look "down".
There the leaves of grasses and wave gently in lovely browns and yellows and golds and siennas and grays. My mother used to take me for long walks to pick the seed pods and golden grasses and we would make wonderful fall bouquets. I did the same with my children in the fields and along country roads. Great memories.

Ginny, what a great idea, would never have thought of that! You have certainly embraced the Zentangle and it's neat how you are adding in some of the w/c also.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this piece. The colors are beautiful and the designs are intricate and lovely. This is almost quirky in a way- for some reason, I expect to see Dr. Seuss to pop up somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSome nice vibrant colors. I like the tangles that you used and I agree with Barb's comment.
