Zendala a bit different this time. Always good to have challenges! I really appreciate Erin's commitment to provide the weekly Zendala Dare challenge. A few posts ago I sent out a challenge to repeat a zentangle inspired art piece using the three secondary colour schemes. Here are my efforts. I used Marg Bemner's string #20. Tangles and patterns are Cubine, Holibaugh, Crescent Moon, Camelia, Moonflower and Ninja. Complementary colour scheme of red and green, using coloured pencils (Derwent Artists) Blue and orange. Media watercolours (Winsor and Newton pans) Purple and Yellow using coloured pencils. I love to try different colour combinations. Whilst only black and white are used for true zentangles, and I really do enjoy creating those, I also enjoy the adventures colour provides. In fact I think I will explore the Split Complementary colour schemes!! If you are joining in I would love to know. You may create split complementary schemes by using one colour with the two colours either side of its opposite colour. Create your own colour wheel to explore all the options. It is an adventure!!

I was thrilled to read on the Diva's blog about the "Beads of Courage" organisation for children with a chronic illness. For each special achievement, needle, doctors appointment, xray etc, the child is given a bead. These are collected and put together at a special time, when the events can be recalled for which they were given, and great encouragement given to the child in the process. Laura's son Artoo, belongs to Beads for Courage, and has just turned two. Our design this week is to celebrate his birthday and this wonderful organisation. I had just purchased a set of 12 Prismacolour watercolour pencils so tried them out to colour it. The original looks better than this! The last two nights I have been working on the colour chart I gave in my last post. I just couldn't put it away! Colour seems to do that to me!!. On the first half page I drew a zentangle, then coloured it with each particular colour scheme. When I had finished I thought, "Uh oh, this looks rather complicated. It might put some people off doing the exercise!" So on the other side I made a very simple string to divide up the bars. Another idea is to do simple abstract designs individually across the bars, as I did on the "Tertiary Colour Wheel" sheet for Sunday, 14 October 2012's post. Seeing all the colour together can be rather confusing. Next job therefore is to make a "window" sheet, so you only see one colour scheme at a time, as shown below. Prismacolour pencils were used for this exercise.

Challenge this week was to use Maria's new tangle "Bunzo". For those who haven't tried it yet, I warn you it has a life of its own!! It draws you in and holds you so you can't stop. Even when I had finished I had to keep going with another piece!! I didn't mind this as I have signed up for Art Everyday Month for November, so I started a pic for that. Next day , Nov 1st I tried to do a post for Art Every Day Month. Unfortunately my computer wouldnt upload the picture I wanted so Im doubling up with Bunzo here!!
