Patterns

As promised I have scanned my latest Blackout poetry ZIA. It is titled "Prize".

Prize
He raised his eyes, the woman stirred.
A tantalizing prize.

Tangles:Yang, Yincut,Chard,Intersection,Bubbles/Tipple,Nine-patch/Knightsbridge(not what I envisioned)

I included some shading on this image. I am thinking about using either my white gelly roll pen or my gold paint pen to draw separating lines on the Nine-patch/Knightsbridge section.

 I am also scanning some of the pictures from the book "Pattern Motifs:A Sourcebook" by Graham Leslie McCallum. I have included what they remind me of from Zentangle patterns.

Do we build on the past and recycle, are we channeling a genetic memory or is it a little bit of both? This is a true representation of everything old is new again.

My last book I had on hold at the library was returned and I picked it up today. "The Art of Whimsical Lettering" by Joanne Sharpe. I am sooooooo excited!!!! I have already leafed through and pretty much read the whole book. Can't wait to start playing.
