Mermaid and Zentangle dolls

I made these for challenges that have ended now so I can show them to you.

Here is my Zentangle doll I made for the Zentangle doll challenge at Doll Street. I made the original zentangles with black prisma pens and then colored them in with Prisma pencils. She is based on a pattern by Cindy Moyer

This is a mermaid scene I made for the Cloth Doll Artist- Holiday studio 3rd quarter challenge. The mermaid is Kat Lees pattern. The fish was also her patterns. She is herself about 6" to 7" from head to tail!

          

Here is some paper doll ornaments I made.

zentangles

 These are some zentagles I made on weekend. All the colored areas are fabric that was adhesive backed. I cut out leaf shapes and also used the leftover shapes. It was fun to do. The fabrics are batiks. I reference my different zentangle drawing books and then lots of time do my own thing.

These are really fun! I love doing them at night.
Here is my face one finished.

Shading with the pencil really makes them 3d!

Zentangles

I have been doodling a bit with the help of the Zentangle's books. They teach you how to doodle. Here are a couple of my projects. These are drawn in a 9" x 6" book.
Here are a couple links to check it out. The first one is the Zentangle blog and the second one is Judy's blog about her drawing and Zentangles.
It is fun to do and kind of relaxing. As you can see I haven't learned how to relaz totally and so mine get a bit messy!
