Zentangle Parrots & Hibiscus

 Another fun zentangle page!

The hibiscus & parrots share the same colors.

I decided to add some cloud outlines & a sun.

The background is a very light blue,

which is a little hard to see in these photos.

These are the colors I used:

Thanks for coming by!

Have a happy & blessed day,

 To me, zentangle looks best when it's colorful!

And this is one colorful page!

Another one that required using my magnifying glass in some areas.

Gosh this coloring book has such teeny tiny areas.

So I think I've got every color I used below.

There were soooo many of them! 

Check out the various colorful reef plants & coral.

I used a wood grain stencil turned horizontally to look like flowing water;

colored with Distress Oxide ink in none other than "Salty Ocean".

I really love the look!

Now for the catfish! 

Thanks again for coming by.

I appreciate your visit.

Have a blessed day,

 I decided to get back to coloring some zentangle images for a change.

I started with my favorite page out of a recently bought coloring book.

This is the tiniest, itty-bittiest coloring I've ever done.

I had to use a magnifying glass to color the page

AND keep my pencils extra sharp with needle point tips!

Unbelievable!

After finishing the page, 

I realized how helpful a magnifying glass was

so I ordered a "fancy" one to use for future colorings.

One that has its own stand and extendable, rotating arm;

LED Lights that can be adjusted to desired brightness;

as well as 5 color modes.

It's incredible!

My poor wrist and thumb hurt from using the hand-held magnifying glass,

so I'm really glad to have this new one!

These are the colors I used.

This page just deserved to be colorful!

I usually rub on chalk pastels that give a solid color 

to an otherwise pure white background.

This time I decided to give stenciling a try on this page!

Afterall, my crafting began with scrapbooking, 

so why not incorporate something from that craft!

It makes a nice background for sure.

I thought some grass, sunshine and colorful clouds would do the trick!

I also added a few mulberry flower clusters for added fun & interest!

Here are photos as up close as I could get them in focus.

You can see how incredibly tiny the areas are

using the pencil tip as a comparable size.

WOW!

Thanks so much for coming by 

and have a very nice, blessed day.
