This is using the Paper Batik idea, painting over lines

drawn with a white gel pen.

 

I used a Pentel Hybrid Gel pen,

Art Spectrum watercolour (Australian Red Gold)

and Derwent Watercolour Pencils

30 April 2012 - Furoshiki with Zentangle

Furoshiki is the Japanese art of tying a square of fabric to create a carry bag, parcel or gift-wrap.

There's lots of different styles. This is a knapsack or shoulder bag - Nanamegake musubi

It's a square of cotton fabric decorated with permanent marker pen in a pattern inspired

by Yvonne Kettner's 365 Freestyle Zentangles project

I tried sun-inspired zentangles on paper back on 22 February - it was easier to draw on paper!

Yvonne's project is still going strong, today she drew her 243rd freestyle zentangle.

The furoshiki inspiration came from a library book, "Furoshiki: The Art of Wrapping with Fabric"

written by Kumiko Nakayama-Geraerts
