Barb's Zentangles & Zendalas

Wow Barb. Truely awesome- maybe I should retire my pen LOL. It is almost out of ink anyway!
I love the first 'earth scape' one...what does the question signify?
The next one feels like the sun wrapped in a furry blanket during the snow...or perhaps it is a sunflower
Flow and the squiggles would be awesome in vivid colors and the last reminds me of a dainty doily

[Camille]

Yes, Jules...the last one...a dainty paper doily!

[Barbara Ann Storrier]

What's your address, Jules ... I'll send you a lifetime supply of new pens full of ink :) Your doodles are delicious!

Lemmesee ... the significance of the question? I leave that open to interpretation by the viewer.

In my way of looking at it, the benign round face in the sky is a deity of sorts, the little circles at the bottom are the beings of the earth, and the little dots in the top part of the doodle ... well, who knows? :)

Thanks for your comments!

[Camille]

Wow Barb! They are magnificent! It's hard to choose a favorite, as they are all smashing!
You already know how much I adore the sunface!!! The fourth one reminds me of leaves, and leaves are some of my favorite things! The first one and the "flow" one are reminiscent of the 60's for me. The last one reminds me of a european paper-cutting! Many hugs for sharing these really spectacular Zoodles! : )

I chose to break the zentangle rules and go beyond the fifteen minutes ... sat out in the sunshine yesterday and did a new doodle, and then began reworking the "dainty doily" one as well, adding dark areas to it and reshaping a bit.

Barb, Magnificent! What kind of pen do you use to get the black spaces so smoothly black? When filling in black areas, mine tend to retain the sketchiness...Dabsketchy

[Mary Hicks]

Lots of thought in this one. It must have been very relaxing to do -- am I right?

[Barbara Ann Storrier]

Yes, you are right, Mary ... and it was a warm, sunny day, and I was outside soaking it all up, like the lizard I am :)

Back to normal ... cold and windy ...

[Mary Hicks]

Haiku:

East coast and West coast
telling of the storms to come
which one will be right?

Cold and windy rain
Blustery winds sending freezing
sleet to your household

Look to the early
sky for your prediction now
red or white, sailor take note.

[Barbara Ann Storrier]

You're getting reeeally good at Haiku, Mary!

I often do take note when I see red in the morning ...

"Red sky at morning,
Sailor take warning!
Red sky at night,
Sailor's delight!"

Barb, this one is synchronous with one of my Sense projects, but I won't specify here....: )
