My name is Ninna, I am a woman, 50 years old, single, and have a daughter 26 yrs old. I live in Sweden. I have 2 dogs, one cat and one bird.I have discovered Art again, I am so happy :) I have created drawings on and off in my life, mostly with graphite pencils and aquarelle colors. I have only a minor education in aquarelle painting at the Swedish Art School, and I have also been teaching aquarelle painting earlier at ABF School, courses for adults and children. When I was much younger I finished a Swedish course called "Lär Dig Teckna" with the Swedish artist Åke Skiöld http://seriewikin.serieframjandet.se/index.php/%C3%85ke_Ski%C3%B6ld. When I was in my thirties some of my paintings were displayed at an exhibition at Länsarbetsnämnden in Stockholm.That is what I have done in brief.I discovered Zentangle by an event, and I fell for it. I love the art form! And I also love doodling, mandalas, zendalas, zia's and a lot more. I work as an accountants assistant with lot of figures all day, and Zentangle is quite similar to mathematics. You have to think a lot about how you should do the zentangle; which patterns, pens, paper you should use, you have to count lines and divide strings etc.You can learn more about zentangle at www.zentangle.com and http://tanglepatterns.com.

Challenge # 12 - Monotangle Escalator in Blue

Hello! It is a new week, and here is the new challenge for the week.
I have chosen the pattern Escalator in a monotangle and colored with blue.
The string is #040 from tanglepatterns.com.

Here is the string:
 
 
And here you can find instructions to do the pattern Escalator.
It wasn't so easy as I thought, it took some time to get it right.
I guess you will notice that :)

And here is my finished result after coloring the monotangle in blue. I have used 2 different blue Gelly Roll pens (Sakura) and 2 water color pencils, and the black Unipin 0,1.

 
Hope you enjoy it!
Happy tangling!
Pls leave a comment below, and post your contribution at the end of the blog in Mr Linky.
Thank you!

    I think it looks just fine :) Nice colors and shading. It doesn't matter if it looks like mine, I don't mind. I am happy you had a go :)
