30 Days of Drawing #11

This is really more of a test of the Sakura Gelly Roll pens that I wrote about yesterday.  I wanted to see how the colors with gold and silver worked on black paper.  As you can see, they didn't.

On black paper the colors are overwhelmed by the underlying gold or silver, but that's okay because they work very well on white. Like all of the Gelly Roll glittery pens, you really cannot appreciate these in a picture, they are much more sumptuous in person.

Yesterday, Sandra, over at Life Imitates Doodles, shared a link to a site which explained how to make Japanese Paper Flowers so I thought that I would give it a try.

Not sure what I'll do with it yet, but there it is.

30 Days of Drawing #10

I truly intended to do another piece for Tammy's rainbow over at Daisy Yellow, but my new gel pens arrived from JetPens yesterday and I couldn't resist.  I already have two sets - Sakura's Gelly Roll Stardust pens in Galaxy and Meteor. In the process, I did some tangling on black paper and so needed some new white pens.  In addition to the white pens I ended up with some more Sakura gel pens - Gelly Roll Gold and Gelly Roll Silver.  I can't wait to see what these look like on black paper.

30 Days of Drawing #9 - it's YELLOW!!

I don't think I can add much - it's yellow.

30 Days of Drawing #3

Ok - this one is serving triple duty - 1) #3 in 30 Days of Drawing with Traci Bunkers; 2) Orange for Tammy at Daisy Yellow who is Building a Rainbow and 3) I am the Diva CZT's weekly Zentangle challenge, in which I have not participated in a while.  This is weekly challenge #50, "Biggify".  It may be a little difficult to see it here, but I guaranteed that I did not do this in the normal small fine way by using a Tombow Dual Brush pen. The paper is hand*book sqaure journal which measures 5-1/2" by 5-1/2".

30 Days of Drawing #2

I did this one to include in Tammy's Building a Rainbow over at Daisy Yellow.

30 Days of Drawing #1

YAY!!  Blogger seems to be working again, though now BlogPress on my iPad is not.  Ah, technology.

I do wish that these Gelly Roll StarDust pens scanned better, they are very, very glittery. (hmm, is glittery a word?).

Anyway Traci Bunkers is doing 30 Days of Drawing over on her blog, so I thought that I would join in, especially since Art Every Day Month was a total failure.
