I just wasn’t feeling the prompts today, so I chose a chrysanthemum-shaped mandala from Tangle All Around to fill in with Zentangle designs. But when you put the chrysanthemum on a 3×5 card, it’s pretty small. So I painted the flower and the background, and then I filled in the shapes with whatever dots and lines I thought would fit, and put the pattern printemps in the outermost petals.

In June and July, I am participating in Daisy Yellow’s Index-Card-a-Day challenge, in which we create a little something on an index card every day–61 mini-masterpieces. I will be posting my projects every Tuesday.
Day 20’s prompt was yin/yang. I interpreted it as a composite drawing of my husband, Greg, and me. We’re different, but we complement each other well. We’ve been married thirty-four years.
This is us in real life (Christmas, 2016, modeling hand-crocheted and knitted gifts from our daughter Erin). I think I captured us in the drawing above.
Day 21’s prompt was simplicity. I chose to do double duty with the #LetterfortheLord movement.
For Day 22 I decided to try my hand at a mandala, because I received a compass kit that I’d ordered. This is officially my favorite card of the week:
Day 23’s prompt was Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and didn’t get around to doing a card that day, though I knew I wanted to draw the white rabbit. So I drew him on Day 24 instead:
Day 25’s prompt was portrait. I used a picture on Pinterest as a reference photo:
Day 26’s prompt was green. It seemed like a good excuse to do more zentangle:
I’m enjoying this challenge. You can participate, too, and you don’t even have to make up any days you’ve missed. Check the FAQs for more details, and search Instagram for #dyicad2017 to see what other participants have done–they’re amazing, so creative.
