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!!

Another cool technique for your bag of CNC panel-cutting tricks. The booklets and photos shown here are from the Dutch firm Snijlab lasersnijden (which, obviously, translates as "Snijlab Laser Ninjas"). The method is kind of like kerf-bending, but the cuts go all the way through the substrate.

A super-simple way to cover a composition book
Artist "nashoba-hostina" brings us this intriguing "Lycanthrope Case". I was a little torn about posting this, since there are some elements I outright don't like. There's just a bit too much Furry influence for my taste. On the other hand, some of the individual elements are outstanding. I'm sure my mixed feelings about the case are from my personal preference for a more realistic approach toward faux occult props. I want some grunge and grime mixed in with a naturalistic depiction of werewolves. The artist clearly prefers a more anime/Furry influenced approach, and from that perspective they knocked the ball out of the park.
