ZIA book cover art
Years ago we lived in three satellite communities around Ottawa, Ontario. My husband and some friends founded the Ottawa Creative Writers' Group, which has published several poetry chapbooks. I was invited to provide cover art for their upcoming publication "Markings". I submitted several pieces and they chose this one, which I call "Niner". There's a bit of collage here too, from zentangle drawings that I didn't like entirely, but that had good parts worth saving!

What an honor to be chosen to do cover art! And the cover is beautiful. There's just no end to the ways Zentangle has enriched our artful lives ;-0
ReplyDeleteI love the way you stitched the tangles together.....this technique needs a name......ANYONE??? something fun and memorable...... you, Margaret are a master "----------er". I'd buy the book, just for the cover! I hope you will be part of the signing team....... or you can at least sign my copy. Let me know how much is is and i will send a check! Maria (and Rick)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Isn't that exciting? Your art is lovely and I hope you have a great time at the launch.
ReplyDeleteWe won't be at the launch (it's a 3-day drive away!), but as soon as we get copies I'll send one to you, Maria.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I love that piece.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I also love how the tiles all weave together. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteWow and super wow, congratulations Margaret! I would buy it for the cover too! Love the flowing in and out!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cover, Margaret!! It looks like one tangle is oozing into the next... but I can't get from that concept to a word. Over to the next great mind.
ReplyDeleteCarole Ohl has left a comment which I accidently deleted!:
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, as always! I agree... there needs to be a word for the oozing:) Zoozing?
Dear Margaret, Your Zentangle, along with Del Carry's expert graphic design, really "made" the cover of our latest chapbook "Markings". Very cool! Many thanks! Jack (editor and host, the Ottawa Creative Writers' Group)
