Diva Challenge 305 - Duotangle with Molygon and Marasu

How on earth did we suddenly get to challenge 305? I am slipping badly...the last one I posted was 293...although I have done several attempts at the intervening challenges, I haven't managed to write a post and make the link. I do, however, always read The Diva's posts and continue appreciate the glimpses into her busy life. What a woman! Good on you, Laura!

So today, I will! It's Andalucia Day so we have had a little holiday which has given me a little extra time to tangle and to post. I enjoyed this very much - actually, I am really enjoying my tangling these days as I have discovered a new passion. Colour. Colour using Derwent Inktense crayons. I have dabbled a bit in colour over the years since discovering Zentangle, but one of the things I liked best about it was the black on white with pencil shading. However, thanks to the very talented Jo Flaherty and Eni Oken, I have pushed my boundaries and started shading in colour.

So - here is my challenge piece and a couple of others that I have been working on in the past few weeks. Most of them have made it to Facebook and the shared group pages there but I will put them here too. I have neglected my blog for long enough.

Thanks for popping by!!



And some more colour...

    Very successful Coloring ! I am very admiring. I bought color pencils but I am afraid not to succeed in shading with colors and especially I think I will have not enough patience!

      It's taken me three and a half years of learning Zentangle to really feel I am understanding how to use colour, Christine. Never give up! Axxx

    So, a new colorful Annie :-) Your coloring is beautiful; so bright an well done. I myself like tangling with a black pen most, but love to do it on colored paper. The Diva tile is GORGEOUS!!! Good to see you here again!
