Diva's Weekly Challenge # 257 - Ooo Shiny!

Hiya Folks!!!

First off a huge thank you to all who commented and saw my last blog post.... You guys make my day!!! :)

Yes, I have been away for a few weeks. I was sick for awhile and then I attended a workshop on a traditional art form of South India called Kerala Mural Painting. 

A little bit about the art form - Its a Mural art form where pictures of a religious nature are depicted on Temple Walls. Its a very old form of art which is now regaining its grandeur and elegance. For a very long time it was a dying art form. This is specific to the Southern State of India called Kerala. Other States also have their own form of traditional art.

In the coming weeks I will be compiling all that I learnt in this workshop and post here so that if any of you would like to attempt it, the info will be helpful....:)

Here below is the canvas I painted. It is roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper. The traditional form is painted using natural pigments but here I have used Acrylic Paints. This is the form of a God named Krishna.....:)



And now here is my entry for the weeks challenge - Ive used a new pattern called DILLO. I tried using a lil bling using sparkly pen but sadly it doesnt show well on this image....



I hope you guys like it...:) 

Have a great day folks! Much Love.... Muah

Diva's Weekly Challenge #251 - Moebius Syndrome

Hiya Folks!

I am so overwhelmed at the response to my entry for the Challenge # 249! Wow its so good to be back and what a welcome!!!!

Thank you all so much for the awesome comments :) I am so touched :)

Last weeks Challenge was about using a tile and go the traditional Zentangle way. I didnt participate as 
1. I dont have tiles. Never used them. While living in the Middle East I never could source them. So opted for regular paper or a Moleskin. 
2. Ive so grown used to not having tiles that I felt an entry on regular paper is not really doing the Challenge right so I just let it be.

This week is once again Moebius Syndrome Week.... Its so wonderful to see lil Artoo all so big now! What a handsome lil man he is growing into....:)

Without further ado my entry for the week.....:)

Ive put the symbol in a Mandala! Oh Yeah! Im sure by now you would've guessed that im currently suffering from a Mandala Mania... Im sorry there seems to be no cure for it at this point in time! Im told once I get this fever outta me (after drawing probably a zillion of them) I may be cured! :) 

Ive put the letter A in the centre for our lil Artoo! Hope you guys like it...:)

And thank you all once again for so much love!

Weekly Challenge # 251
Love you all !
Have a great week ahead....:)

Happy 2016... It's the Revival!

Hi Everyone!

Yes it's me, back again! I missed u guys!

Let me begin by wishing all of you an awesome 2016! Hope this New Year you reach new heights and the year is filled with happiness... :)

I've been quite busy myself since I last posted here. I've resigned my job to be a full time artist! Yes! I finally took that step to follow my heart... and am very happy I did! In that time I took some classes in acrylic painting but zentangle has always been my first love and always will be. .. :)

2016 onwards I hope to keep this blog open and going. It's been redundant for more than a year. I will post work I've been doing along with some details on how I did it. This is to help some of my friends learn this wonderful art and also for me to learn from others too! If any of you feel I could incorporate changes please feel free to comment in the comments section below. I will see if it can be done ... :)

Learning never stops and I truly believe everyone has something to teach me. So here's to a wonderful 2016 !

Here below I'm posting my take on Zendala Dare 116. Erin brings us this Dare on her blog.



Cheers...!
