"HEART" challange

i just loved these weeks theme.a "heart" zt with our heart for little Artoo who has been so ill...and i loved to see healhing hearts flying to Canada along with your best thoughts.here's my late contribution.
used orbs + blind string to form a heart shape.
still will google about how to make a transparent orb and hopfully will learn how to pencil shade it correctly.i thought maybe someone of you would take charge and show me the way but i know it is too much what i'm asking.still if you have a good link for me please just write to me.thanks in advance :)

all the bests for all of you with my whole heart :)

how i made these two atc's

i don't want to teach you how to make atc's lol,you are better than me .i'm just showing the way i made these last cards.always loved the "how to" process at others so i thought maybe i could inspire somebody who never made such cards.just finished the "hearth" challange too but still trying to make something with an empty orb shading i find difficult to realise.so anybody would like to take charge an show me a "how to"pencil shade an empty orb????pleeeease :) (my best smile is here)

 still a picture is missing here,i just cannot find it anywhere and already erased the photo card..grrr...the missing picture shows how i thickened some lines here there...

the finsihed card is measuring 6.5 cm/10 cm just couldn't focus to cut right the card yesterday night and when it was ready i couldn't decide wich side to cut off so it remainde like this.almost atc :)
the next one,still same style

see you :)

Molossus challange

Sandra Strait is hosting a challange called "Tell Your Story-Be Part of the Art" over at her blog.
this is like a celebration of her 200 th freehand pattern created and shared so generously !
I will use her words to describe the challange:

" I ask you to look at a ZT you've just finished (no fair planning ahead of time). Take note of the movement, the flow, the texture. Spin it around. Look at how the dark and light work together. How do the tangles work together> How do they resist each other? What objects seem to appear? What's the mood? Do this immediately after you finish, and look, and do not second guess yourself.

Come up with a title based on your immediate impressions. Then invite your viewers to tell you what they see or feel. In other words, invite them to invest part of their world experience into yours."

so,what i neeed to do now is to invite you kindly to tell me what you see or feel ;)

while still working on Diva's challange nr.8 and faceing a lack of "how to go on",i made this quite quick colored tile.shapes have gained sense along the way so it is pretty obvious what you all can see ..anywise sometime i'm taken by surprise by your comments.and that's the fun part!
Called "bear with me.." i like this tiles mood..i dont' know if this would have to say something about the way i am or just what it seams to you to appear while looking at it.you better tell me what you think...

thank you Sandra for all you're doing for us ! our source of inspiration and admiration...

still see that bear,lol....

i usually go like this -making an outline then inside strings.is that saying something about me?maybe.this is my comfort zone.usually close my drawing,i protect the doodle as in life i ask for protection feeling good protected...reverse side would mean i'm sort of weak...
i see many things in this doodle.there is an adn like celtic knot, funny where i begun filling the string,very organized and strict at the beginning loosened ,rapsodical at the end (another trait? hm maybe).than a bearhead shape that needed only the eye and mouth to complete (forgot to tell-i colored first the whole tile with pencils and a bit of watercolor),leaved untangled as i liked that and thought it would be good for a balance.than a fish,a little bug,snail scales and a bearded profile of a man.
so what of those am i ,i thought? the bug?intuitive,intelligent,resistent,organized,prolific
the fish ?lower,undemanding,go with the flow
the bear ? beautiful,wild,faithful,who has to fight surviving,as that fish called life doesn't land automatic on your plate...
the wise bearded man?for sure not him.he his my protector.almost cannot be noticed still there...
belive me i cannot tell you.maybe a bit of everything.a bit of a bear.a bit of the bug,fish.sometimes hard to understand me,sometime hard to leave with,talk,plan so....just bear with me in this new,exiting world called zendoodle...

thank you for stopping by :) enjoy or better said "bear with me" ;)

atc "relax" and "aquahome"

yesterday aceo's."relax" made entirely by pen and marker,while "aquahome" has a little pencil here there.
i think i go blind if i countinue to much with this standard size,lol. filling is a meticulous job,i think it would go faster making a bigger size :)

yesterday doodles

yesterday night i fancy the watercolor pencils and i thought i may give a try to use them making a few atc's.
i must say that i'm not satisfied with the results,even cuted out the backgrounds of two of the cards and finally give up the wonderful pencils i didn't experienced before for some regular markers and just made my "regular" doodles that  were flowing naturally form the pencil. i thought it is easyer to make atc's but it is not.or i'm not at that level,lol...

the last atc is dedicated for Artoo, Laura Harm's baby who struggles with a bad cold in a hospital. i was thinking of him all the time and insted of the "heart" zt for this week challange i came up with this little doodled atc.i wish him all the bests,and strengt to his parents when there's nothing worse than you're ill baby....
