Doodle Inspired Mosaic

Here is the beginning of my Zentangle or Doodle inspired mosaic.

This section, black tiles, stacked like brick, but square, I added these great accent beads.

Here I added a border, looks a bit zipper like.

This will be the area below the ground line, the small glass pebbles, will appear to be the dancer's shadow.

Zentangle, Doodling, Random Drawing...it's all about pattern and design, drawing what you feel, spontaneously. I attempted to plan out my patterns, but I couldn't get it to work with the mosaic. So I just started...randomly laying in pattern.

Black and White

My Inspiration

I like to doodle. I love to draw patterns and shapes just to create wonderful, whimsical composition. I have done this for years...in high school on my notebooks and yes, even sometimes on the desk. I have discovered that this doodling has a name, trademarked, Zentangle. So, I guess this is what I do...or my art is Zentangle inspired.  I call it doodling with style!

These "tangled or doodled" dancers are the inspiration for my next mosaic.

I enjoy creating these fun lively dancers, each with her own personality. 

These "Zentangled" or doodled dancers were actually inspired by some of my previous mosaic dancers.

This is a journey, I have realized that my dancer's are evolving, the inspirations come from one to create another...but that will be fuel for a new topic!

My vision is to create a mosaic, a dancer, using black and white, to create patterns that will make her come alive....stay tuned!
