Colouring, my new drive

As I see such beautiful colored tiles on the internet, I decided to try it myself.  I bought a nice box of pencils (Coloursoft pencils Derwint).  A bit expensive, but what a fun to use them.  I started with some simple tiles, prepared with watercolour pencils.  Then adding my patterns, and then colouring and shaded using the coloursoft pencils.

... and  I also learned that 'color' as well as 'colour' exists. Just depends where you live or what you learned at school :)

So here are my coloured tiles.  I recently bought the (internet) book of Eni Oken '3D Tangle: Vibrant color shading' and learn a lot out of it.  https://enioken.com/3dtangle/color-shading

 I hope I still can improve my colouring skills.

Coffee, Tea or me

Oh what a nice Diva Challenge this week ! (#312).  Spoil some coffee or tea on your tile, and let this be your string to tangle.

And as I am in my color period right now, here is my nice tile.  I'm very pleased with the result.  I'm still learning how to color and shade using the book of Eni Oken '3D Tangle Virbrant color shading'.  It's a wonderful book and I learn a lot ! I only used three 'tea'-colors in my tile.

With a few patterns now

Square One Purely Zentangle: Focus March 2017

Stressful month behind us ! My mother in law was in hospital twice these last two months, she's 83years old and  not capable anymore to look after herself.  At the end of this month we had to bring her to an elderly nursery as she is always confused and forgets a lot.   It was not an option for her to 'go home' again. Not a pleasant experience, because she does not wanted to go there.  We try to visit her as often as we can, but yet it is not easy.

I tried to set my mind on the weekly focus to cope with this.  I post my tiles of March here.

week 1: For Fin

Week 2: MI2

Week 3: Nuwave
Nice pattern, remands me of barberpole - one of my favourites.

Week 4: Pico
Oh, I love this one.  I'll surely use it again in my tiles.
