Today is another cold and blustery day, it sounded like the wicked wolf from the fairy tale was running round trying to huff and puff and blow the house down, but it looks like he didn't succeed. I still have a lot of aches and pains from my fall on Friday, but time should heal them.
Today is *Sunday Sketch Day* over at
*Blue Chair Diary* and I am showing a picture I made some time back.
This is a sort of Zentangle picture, I used to make dozens of them, but stopped as it was really addictive. But I think this face fits into the other self-portraits I've been trying to make in recent weeks. I hope you notice that I used to have my hair in plaits!
It has been drawn in coloured pencils. I am also entering this into the
*Just for Fun* Zentangle challenge. (Thanks for the reminder, Zoe!)
The second thing I want to show you today is a cardboard tryptich for *Postmark Paris* over at the
*Three Muses Challenge Blog*
I have tried to show memories of Paris, of course the famous sights, but also torn apart pictures, for even in Paris, love does not hold forever.
I think that was the part they got wrong in all the fairy tales!
So that was it for today. Have a good day, take care and thanks for visiting.
I must go back to read about your fall...But I wish you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWonderful creations,as usual...Love the zentangle picture!
Hugs:)
Hi, just a quickie before P and the kids wake up, it's still so peaceful here! Love your picture and tags, Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteIf Picaso doodled I bet thats just what he'd have done it's FAB !
ReplyDeleteMorning Valerie
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely portrait I really like it, and the tags made from card board with a Paris theme are stunning hun.
I must of missed the post about the fall I hope you will feel much better soon ;0)
love Dawn xx
The portrait is smashing! Love the zentangle approach. Oh, let's face it, I love everything ... your triptych too. It's gorgeous .. love the imagery and the way you give it such depth. Fell like I could walk into them. I'll meet you for coffee at that little place on the Ile St. Louis ... say 2:00 pm? Take it easy today ... no high wire walking. Enjoy whatever you do. big hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteI'm with Donna just love your style and everything you do!
ReplyDeleteYour tangle is amazing they really are addictive but a great relaxation. It would be great in our Just for Fun challenge this week by the way! XOXO Zoe
looks like you were having 'Picasso moment' with your portrait. And i love how you have added the little flowers to the cards. They add that bit of je ne sais quoi? Julie
ReplyDeleteI love your Zentangle - I made my first one this week and I agree with you they could become very addictive. I love your tags as well.
ReplyDeletexxx Hazel.
Yes the portrait is very Picasso and must represent your pain in your fall!
ReplyDeleteYour triptych is amazing. I have some corrugated card I've been saving for a project and you've inspired me!
Super Zentangle/doodle portrait, I agree with WrightStuff, I imagine it's how you felt after your fall. Fabbie tryptich, you really are the Queen of Tags. Sending smiles & hugs. Suze xx

ReplyDeleteThat's a fun portrait! I like your triptych, too. I didn't make the 3 muses challenge this week so I'm glad to see this on my Sunday Sketches rounds. Hope you heal quickly from your fall.
ReplyDeleteLove your picture and I always love your tags!!! :-)

I can see how this would be addictive. There's something hypnotic about the patterns in this piece. I really like the line work.
