back to the atcs -look what i've got !
the first is a lovely flower atc in Pumpkin's adorable style-she who made me fancy atcs ,special thanks for that,plus for the extras -doodle directory and vintage book file about Rossini's life :)

the second one is  Pochadiva's ( atcforall.com)  "sassy" a whimsical lady painted with watercolor plus a blank cold pressed atc and a beautiful vintage card.thank you both so much!i'm very pleased with my new cards and for the growing collection :).i'm still waiting for two atcs,i'm pretty worried for them as they are in their way to me for three weeks already.but that's it,America is far away  so i...wait

challenge nr 13

Laura Harms challenge this week was to use our non-dominant(left in my case) hand to draw a zentangle or zia(zentangle inspired art)I'm pretty sure everybody(or at least the most of us) felt the relief when made a new doodle with the exercised hand.it was hard i must say and quite sad by the end of my drawing...you'll see why.
after the strings were done i quickly made that closed eye face then filled up the spaces with different tangle patterns and colored it using just a few colors blue-green and orange(red for the cheeks)..at the end it seamed to me that i drew a geisha in traditional like costume flying...then i added the legs and completed the drawing entitled "flying geisha"...then cold shivers went through my spine...Gosh,i said that's it...geisha flying to God...i didn't meant to but that's what it became....challenge nr 13...sending my prayer for them...silently...

thank you for your visit
