Zentangle Meets Origami at Jane Monk Studio

As promised ... I have been making some beautiful Origami boxes and some photo frames.

I had some A3 sheets of paper that I had printed some of my Zentangle drawings onto.  Rather than waste this paper, I decided to use it to make Zentangle Origami Boxes ... they are beautiful and quite useful too!   The thicker white ones with lids at the back are going to be Zentangled too ... I used heavier card stock to make these.   

And some "mini" Zentangles ... these are just wonderful, quick and simple to make.   I made these ones whilst waiting at the doctors yesterday - would you believe for two hours!  Not like I have anything else to do:(   

We are enjoying the last vestiges of Summer today ... even though we are in Autumn and have had a few days of very wintery weather ... I love Tasmania! Happy tangling for now ... Jane

June - My Happy Birthday Month - Yay!

It's June - Winter is here in the antipodes (are we the antipodes if you are in the US and not in the UK - you know that opposite line - well we are the antipodes to someone out there - lol!)

But I digress,  June is Winter here in Tasmania and I love winter - all snuggly in front of the fire.

Here is another of my stacked A4 sized drawings - I am loving these.

And look what I found the other day - a beautiful white box to house my Tangle stuff.   A beautiful white canvas to tangle all over - now that is going to take some time but be a lot of tangling fun.

And because it is June here is another of my Tangle patterns ... I call this one Raindotty - it reminds me of ripples from rain drops.   I was looking through some of my old tangles (before I heard about zentangles) and I had a really long period of drawing with dots - raindotty evolved and I still use it today.  Enjoy.

Happy tangling for now ... Jane x

ps ... I am working on a little tangle as a giveaway to celebrate my B'day later this month ... I'll post about it when it is done.
