I was pleased that, with some finagling, I could use today's sketch with yesterday's tea party for Lori and her husband. I used a few Zentangle examples on Pinterest for inspiration to create some fun, wonky houses, vegetation, and trees. I'd like to see the inside of that tall skinny house. Their kitty Kilo is in the window of the bottom house.
I thought about adding color to the panel, which is why I did it on watercolor paper, but in the end, I sprayed primary colors on the card base, making the main panel more narrow than the back. I didn't want to cover much of the drawing so cut an acetate circle and stamped the word on more sprayed wc paper. I did use an Identi-pen to put some dots on the acetate to show the triangle (sort of).
Caretaking is sometimes harder on the caretaker, I'm thinking of them both.

I spy Kilo! Oh, bfnm, what a fantastic tangle for John and Lori! It is perfect! Love the ‘slight’ bit of color part of the fold. Love the wonky~ness. Read every comment….this is a treasure.

I love that you left this black and white. I don't think color would do it justice. And, like everyone here, I am in awe at your art work and zentangling. This is stunning. Adding their cat was so clever and so fun. What's more awesome than awesome...that's your card. And I agree with you that caretaking is a tough job.

Never heard of Zentangle but your card sure piqued my interest (I looked it up). Amazing example with so much interest! And I appreciate your leaving it uncolored…it really allows the viewer to take it all in without distraction (or attraction?). This is a work of art, for sure!
