Blueprint & Femineus
This morning I made my zentangle for zentangle challenge #15 at I am the diva. I used the same idea from my studio journal as an ATC I made for the March swap at Stitchin Fingers. My swap partner sent me a message it arrived, so I can show you both. I'm also working on a small applique with the same idea, so I called my ATC Blueprint. It's stitched in perle 5, 8 and 12 in Portuguese stem stitch, closed herringbone, knotted loop stitch and straight stitches. At the edge I couched a cotton/linen knitting yarn. There's a bigger photo at my Flickr-page.
I tried to translate this same idea in a zentangle. The feminine shapes where perfect for this week's challenge to use only curved lines. I made this zentangle in my A5 sketchbook, so it's bigger than the ATC.

Collage
This is the last week of Sharon's studio journal class, the remaining exercises will keep me busy for weeks! My first studio journal is almost filled and I already bought some new ones to keep me going. I made much more than I wanted to share here, but today I want to show the last 2 pages I made this week. My first collage was inspired by the daffodils in my garden. Lente is Dutch for spring.
I'm still not done with my leaves, so I made a collage too.

Zentangled U

Last week I made a zentangled U ATC for Janine on one of my watercolour experiments. I used Printemps for the U and my new pattern wicker-work for the background.

Kaleidoscope
Last week I played with a kaleidoscope program Sharon suggested in her studio journal class. I just had to try making kaleidoscopes of some of my creations. For the first one I used a button cluster on my CQ block.
For the next one I used a photo of my dragon ornament. I added this one to my journal with a few notes what I could do with it.

Watercolour
Time goes fast when you're having fun! I already started on the third week of Sharon's journal class, but there was no time to blog about the second week. These are my very first experiments with watercolour paint. I had some watercolour paper in my stash and I cut a sheet in different sizes: 2,5 and 3,5 inch squares and backgrounds for ATC's. I had no idea how the paint would behave, so I just jumped in.
I used the 2,5 inch square for a zentangle.
