waste to art

Started participating in 'I am the diva' challenges. :) Pretty excited. Not much of a 'zentangler' myself but thought I'd give it a shot. I had to use brown in my zentangles. Thought about using waste material as it is environmental friendly, it will go well with the brown and... well it looks pretty cool! I was a bit unsure whether or not the pens will dry on the shells but luckily... They did! ;D

  2. I think your shells turned out great. Such a good idea! But, I have a bone to pick with you as a shore lover.......never refer to sea shells as waste materials. Ha, ha, ha.

    1. Thank you :) I used Pistachio shells, not shells from the beach... however that would be a good idea as well! :P

    1. Thank you :) I used a Pigma Micron pen for the black (ordinary zentangle pen) and the brown was just a sketch pen!
