More Project Pack #09!

Zentangle's Project Packs are always so chock-a-block full of great ideas I can't help but keep exploring them once the project is finished.

APPETIZER - WASTE NOT, WANT NOT
I like the brown bags the Project Pack supplies come in and hate to simply recycle them, so I cut them into tile sizes and include the grommets and string. Here, I glued the string to the paper, and have a tile with an actual string!
Tangles: Gneiss, Hollibaugh, Knightspeak, Marasu, Springkle, Zonked

THE FULL MEAL
I was quite enchanted with the idea of using Auras to create the look of malachite, or more generally agate. Here's a slice of natural agate. Sometimes there is a nest of crystals at the center. How delightful! Don't you love geodes?

I had cut some eco-dyed paper into bookmarks and used this 'auras' method. Do you see the partial leaf in the second one?

I was enjoying myself so much I did a page of agate in my wonderful 'Book'.

And on a black zendala tile using Sakura's Moonlight pens. It was a little tricky to "shade".

And then again on a sheet of eco-dyed paper.

Such fun! I'll be using this technique more, I'm sure.

  4. Amazing post Margaret. I found the malachite auras one of the most excitement parts of the recent project pack. They are versatile, look great and are so relaxing to tangle too. I love the idea of using them on eco-dyed papers which always inhibit me from even starting.

    1. I know. Some of the eco-dyed papers are so lovely just as they are. Let me see if you try some agate on one.

  5. Oh the auras!!!!! Beautiful drawings, Margaret. :) Stunning creations, every one. I love your idea of using some of your less favorite eco-dyed papers! I've been wondering what to do with mine. I love that you recycle the Project Pack envelopes and I love that you kept the string attached! I'm looking forward to playing with this technique.
