The Journey Begins Today Challenge - Create a tangle inspred by this drawing:
Our family is setting out in many directions so the ideas of the road and a journey appealed to me. Here is my interpretation -
To see how others were inspired, visit our hostess, Heather at Books and Quilts.
In other tangling news, Amanda helped Mitch decorate his new home, and she wanted to include one of my drawings. Most of what I had on hand involved flowers and other frills that didn't match his bachelor pad, so I created a tangle just for him. This is the Fort Hays State Tiger - mascot of Mitch's Alma Mater.
I traced and simplified the image into an outline for tangling.
I added "masculine" tangles - no curly-ques or flowers - and a woven background.
Woven into the drawing are the university initials, Mitch's initials, and the date of graduation. Mitch was much happier to have this hanging on his living room wall.
We were definitely on the same wave length when looking at your inspiration image. I immediately identified your 'yellow brick road'. The school mascot for your son in wonderful. All those details worked into the drawing, i wouldn't have noticed them if you hadn't pointed them out. Ok, I would have eventually.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Tangled Thursday.
Love the zentangles! Especially how you tied all of your family together with the first zentangle. I was reminded of this quote "All roads lead home" So for me - the bottom of the picture is HOME with all three kids' paths shown going a different way - - - but they can aways turn around and come back home.
