Diva #277 - Running around in circles

This week's Diva challenge


The challenge this week was to draw inspiration from circles. Here's my tile. If you visit my blog later in the week there will be more tiles for this challenge.





Zentangle Primer


I've been doing more work in my Primer Journal. This week I tackled the front cover. The border features tangle fragments that I saw on Adele Bruno's site recently, plus squill, ellish, skye, rixty, tripoli, flux, florz and shattuck, with a few bunzo-esque pieces thrown in. The gems have some extra sparkle courtesy of a couple of layers of Mod Podge.






























ZIA 3D paper shapes


On the weekend I went to a craft fair at my local art centre. One of the stalls that caught my eye and imagination was by Altapapercraft. They had a display of 3D images made from cardboard pyramids. 
You need to go to their instagram or facebook page to appreciate. I can't adequately describe their work. http://altapapercraft.com/

You could buy the artworks already assembled and framed or you buy their kits and try it at home. I bought two of their kits and have spent much of Monday drawing over them and converting them into ZIA.

Here's my 3D star and 3D fish. I already had box-ish frames. Just took out the ZIA that were in them before, added some pretty background card, tangling the backing card and viola. 








Cake decorating continues


Here's my latest attempt at this edible art. I've found that my work colleagues are quite happy to eat the results.




Have a great week and thanks for your comments.

Lovely tile for this week challenge and on the other tile, that gem, wow, that is so beautiful drawn, wish I could do that too! I like the border you have made on that tile, just great.
These 3D stuff is also really pretty, especially the fish is a real beauty. You have been very creative and busy.
You deserve a big piece of that wonderful decorating cake!!!
