<br /></div>
<div>
Mandalas in May is what I call this series. I have always enjoyed doodling and drawing a mandala is very relaxing and I find the end result very pleasing. I have added shading on some of the drawings which gives them a bit more of a 3d feel.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am about to embark on the ICAD challenge so Project 365 may take a back seat for a while.</div>

I mentioned ICAD and some of you may be wondering what this is? It is a challenge run every year by Tammy Garcia aka Daisy Yellow. The challenge is to make art on an index card every day for June and July. Tammy posts prompt which you can follow or you can do your own thing. This will be my eighth year of taking part in the challenge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Then I was on a run of circles, painting stencilling. I wanted to inject a bit of colour also, the last row are using fluorescent orange and pink paint which does not pick up as brightly in the picture as it is in real life. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
This group of cards has a lot more doodling and drawing which I find very meditative. I used to do a lot of zentangle before I really got into art journaling. My favourite is the green and orange card as this really pops out of the page with the shading.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have a lot more time now during lockdown as I am not able to go out at the moment except for my daily exercise, so there is no excuse really for not working on my art projects. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the start of the lockdown period I found it really difficult to focus and be productive as like many others there was an adjustment period to this new way of life. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">However happily I am now getting back into doing my art and as well as a number of journal pages I have restarted the Project 365 cards.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When I started the series I was trying to practice more collage, but now I am just doing whatever sparks my creativity that day, so quite a mix of cards in this group.</span></span><br />

The last one was #156 and Laura is now up to #387! I used to do these challenges on a weekly basis and then I started to do more mixed media art and was doing zentangle only occasionally. As part of my 365 challenge I thought that I would try some zentangling again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The tangle to be used was HaWy, you can link to the challenge <a href="http://www.iamthedivaczt.com/2019/03/weekly-challenge-387.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then we have the bears, my family felt like my first bear was a bit 'creepy', I was aiming for cute but I seem to have missed the mark! They liked the second one better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have also been trying to recreate some saying that I have seen on Pinterest.</span><br />

Holidays, Christmas and all sorts of other things meant that I did not get my 365 cards done in one year. However, I have decided to make this a 2 year challenge and so I have picked up making the cards again. I still have a massive amount of collage fodder on my desk to work through. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favourite from this group is the first card on the second row. I had a new stencil which I traced through and then I coloured the shapes in with coloured pencils to give more of a 3-d effect. The next card is the same technique but in black and white.</span>Fiona Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07186021814472770261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919867427945341495.post-15647799386074863442019-11-09T06:22:00.001-08:002020-03-07T01:34:09.010-08:00Project 365 Cards 192 - 222 (and Inktober)<br />
I though that I would try my hand at Inktober this year. So I continued my Project 365 on the small cards but did 31 in Ink. I should be at card 311 by now so running quite a few behind, I think this year long challenge could well run into next year.<br />

The last group of cards were quite muted so I decided to go a bit brighter with this group.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's more collage, use of stencils, acrylic paint. The bottom left hand card I have added a piece of friendly plastic art which I made years ago. (who remembers friendly plastic? - google it if you don't!) The bottom right hand card is a hand carved repeating rubber stamp (Inspired by Julie Balzer)</div>

Still using up bits and pieces that I have lying about. I have also collected a pile of random words and phrases that I am using too.<br />

<br />
This year I have decided to try Project-365, the aim is to make 365 pieces of art this year. I will not make one each day as I sometimes work in batches, however the aim is to have completed 365 pieces by the end of the year!<br />
<br />
I find it hard to throw things away, especially when it might come in handy for future art projects, I am sure a few of you can relate to this! My pile of 'stuff' was getting too big, so I thought that making these mini pieces would force me use some of it up. Here are the first 16, they are 3 inches square.<br />

You can see the challenge for this week <a href="http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/weekly-challenge-156.html" target="_blank">here</a>, it is to use a wonky grid. I can do wonky and I like working in grids!!<br />
<br />
Here is my first attempt<br />
<br />

and another go, this one is blurred at the edge as the journal I am using does not open flat and it did not scan easily, but you get the idea!<br />

<br />
I had not tried this one before so I tried out a few practice variations before I did my tile.<br />
<br />
Hubby's comment on this one was that it looked quite Science Fictiony, I think I can see where he is coming from. :-)<br />

That is a tile using only two tangles, pea-knuckle and well. You can see the challenge<a href="http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/weekly-challenge-146.html" target="_blank"> here</a>.<br />
<br />
The first time I met pea-knuckle was in Diva challenge #71, I found it really hard, until I practiced a bit and got used to it. At that point I had only just started tangling so was much more of a perfectionist. I have learnt to let go a bit now and I am enjoying pea-knuckle more this time. I kept it quite simple.<br />

I am tangling in a journal with cream paper which is why the colour on this piece looks so different from the next one which was done on white card.<br />

I like patterns like this one, it is fun just to play and try and get some depth with the interweaving lines. I have decided to call this piece " Dancing Jellyfish " !<br />

I decided to tangle a dragonfly template, this came from a Ken Kwok who set up a number of templates of animals.<br />

This is the scan before I coloured it. I have then added cosmic shimmer paint, however when I tried to rescan it you can't really see the colour as it is iridescent , so I stuck with the before scan.<br />
