Zen Artoo

Since Frankie included a Zentangle in one of her tag challenges I've been exploring these again.    There are some awesome blogs with many designs and tutorials on how do draw them and then there is our greatest art resource our own imagination.   Got very excited by a picture of sheep on the TV the other day, was on the phone so the volumn was down but the idea grabbed me and hung on so it is included on this tangle.

Basically this tangle is a response to The Diva.   Recently her baby boy has been very poorly in hospital with Mum by his side.   The care and attention he needed left little time for Tangling but fortunatly this gifted lady did design a new patten which she has named Artoo after her baby boy.   I have adapted it hope that is still acceptable.

Another artist I have been following for a while and whose work is so inspiring is Susan.  Such a generous lady on her blog you will find links to a vast set of resources.

These are all 4" squares that I've tangled recently following the tutorials available and my own wim.   Two are in pencil but I've got a fine nib pen now, it makes a difference and used that for my adapted Artoo.
