Here is my latest zendala from the zendala dare on
The Bright Owl. I used the opportunity to test out a new white marker, a Tim Holtz Distress Marker, that I found at the local craft store. It was fun to play with because the ink starts out invisible before turning white. A neat magic trick. I did have to put on a few coats, however. I also tested a Sakura Souffle marker. It was "whiter," but takes longer to dry and is raised. I've tried paint markers, but they always break on me when I go to use them a second time. They are also oil-based, so they may stain paper. I do LOVE paint markers on canvas. They are so much easier to use than a brush when adding fine lines. A finishing spray evens out the glossy look. I will continue to look for a white pen to use on paper and marker. I hear that Uniball Signo and Sakura Gelly Roll are the best. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
In the meantime, I hope you like my zendala. Comments are encouraged and welcome! =)

Well i love the color and it looks great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Great color and I really like the lacy border you added.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work. I love the colours and all those lovely squiggles and spots.
ReplyDeletePENS: I'm using a white Hybrid Gel Pen at the moment, but I don't know where it's available. I can't get Sakura pens here (in Germany).
I also have a "white painter" by Edding that I bought from a D.I.Y. store. I think decorators use it to correct small mistakes, but it works well on paper. That is ink. Correction fluid is the same consistency, so that can also be used with a fine paint brush.
You name it, I've tried it!
Beutiful bold colors and I love your border!!!! Thanks for sharing!! Happy tangling! DayLee Doodler #18
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the great comments. @Faith--Thank you for the pen suggestions.
ReplyDeleteYou made a beautiful zendala with great colors.
ReplyDeleteYour Zendala is gorgeous - lovely colours. I like your edging too, so delicate. I have about 5 white uniball pens and each of them do not flow very well, hence I don't tend to use them.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's so whimsical, I love it!
ReplyDeleteNice use of color and I really like the outer edge.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous your colors really make it look like fabric patterns. Great work!
