Easter Card

This week I finished shading the floral inspired tangle


In the process, I discovered a mistake in the background pattern between the two large swirls, and attempted to "fix" it.  So I have learned my lesson on that! As there are supposed to be no mistakes in Zentangle.  So I did a coverup with vines swirls there.  I would have liked it better in the end to have that area open highlighting the background even with the pattern error.  Nobody probably would have ever seen it but me and I had to be working every line with shadow to find it myself!  So there's a lesson for me.

I also bought some Crystal Clear spray acrylic sealer to seal in these pieces so that they hopefully will not smudge.  I "sealed" two other tangles, and this one in the book also.  Hopefully I haven't turned my book into a gluey mess!

Cut the fabric for several purse covers and put one together over the weekend.  No pictures.  I will post one when I get them all done together.  I have a pattern to make my own covers for my "Suite Skirt Purse" made by My Thirty-one.

So Wednesday I was at the grocery store picking up a few things, and was looking for an Easter Card for Edwin.  I found one, but then I recalled that Edwin commented more about the $$ spent on the last card I bought him (Valentines probably) than about the card.  So I decided to tangle him a card!  Tooke the scripture verse off the card I had picked out, and may even use the prose from inside on the back of the card as well.  Found a clip art to use as a stencil that I liked


Here are pictures of the process





Finished product


I do not know how much longer I will post pictures of work in progress, but I like it for now seeing how the piece develops.  Hope Edwin likes it!

Happy Easter All!
