Houses and buildings have been a recurring theme in my art for many, many years. I decided to try some ZIA (zentangle-inspired art) pieces with house shapes, on zentangle tiles. As an extra incentive, I have a sale and show coming up at the end of May and these will make some nice, small, inexpensive pieces to have available. :-)
At the end of a recent post I showed one of these 'house tiles'. Here are some more.
 |
| Tangles: Coaster, Dex, Emingle, Florz, Prestwood, Tidings, Xyp, stripes with highlights and a Tripoli |
 |
| Tangles: Black Pearlz, Casella, Emingle variation, Finery, Knightsbridge Aura, Paradox, Shades, Tagh, Tipple |
 |
| Tangles: Flux, Fracas, Opus, Phuds, Tagh and a new one I haven't named yet. |
 |
| Tangles: Amaze, Ambler, Dust Bunny, Flukes, Sanibelle |
I'm also trying some other Sakura pens that I acquired recently: Stardust, Glaze and Metallic, as well as the regular variety. So I've added color and some effects to some of these house tiles.
 |
| Tangles: Dex, Florz, Flux, Knightsbridge Aura, Phuds, Ragz, Shades, and a single Croon |
 |
| Tangles: Afterglo, Black Pearlz, Boss, D'Uni, Knase, Knightsbridge Aura, Opus, Tagh |
 |
| Tangles: Beadlines, Paradox, Posh (almost), stripes with highlights, dots and an (I think) unnamed one |
these are wonderful - the last one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThese are totally awesome! Fantastic compositions, and wonderful linework!
ReplyDeletei had noticed the earlier houses that you posted and these are a wonderful addition to the "series". They are interesting to look at and to study. Wonderful work!

I really love this idea, especially the "Taj Mahal" inspired tile! Thanks for sharing, I may be inspired to try something like this as well!
ReplyDeletewow, those turned out so cool! I picked up a book at the library with patterns for quilts that I am going to play with as strings. Should be fun. Good luck at your art show/sale. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are delightful. They would make an awesome collage for a real estate office.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are amazing, every single one of them. I bet you'll sell them all.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible! Love them all! All your work is great - I too like house and these are so inviting, interesting, and creative. Love how you incorporated white space into each. I would love to buy 1 or 2 of these - please let me know the details! Patty Meijer
ReplyDeleteLove these! These are great abstracts and all so different.
ReplyDeleteMargaret you are a master architect for a magical tangled village!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these Zia's!
ReplyDeleteI realy like them!
These are so imaginative! Especially the ones with a touch of color. It gave me an idea....hmmmm. I'll have to try something new now too! I'm excited!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Great use of light and shade. I particularly like the way you identify the different tangles you have used.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I have always been drawn to houses as well, but haven't yet done any Zentangle houses. But you have inspired me to try to create some. I especially like the bottom one of your group.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I have always been of fan of your houses and love that you did these tile size ones. Love them all, but really love the red door! Good Luck at your show...I bet these fly out the door!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, you are SUCH an artist! Your imagination is incredible. These little houses are absolutely delightful. Why dont you have them printed, then more of us could buy one.They would be a treasure forever. Your "Box of Sunshine is on my wall in my bedroom, so I check it out every day, its so wonderful.
ReplyDeletecharming!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are such fun. You have such a talent!
