Gloria J Zucaro's "Adding Lines To Life"

Monday's "I Am The Diva" prompt #182 for August 25,2014 is "Stripes". Done on a greeting card. I noticed after I finished that the houses have different roof or wall lines when you turn them from vertical to horizontal.

7 x 5 Watercolor Card-stock.

Have a good week and enjoy all the other pen & ink drawing at iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com

This is my Paint Party Friday entry.  I made this thank you tangle for a dear friend who remembered something I had mentioned that I wanted a few years ago.  While on vacation in Florida she found it and brought it home for me.  Such a thoughtful person with an extremely good memory!  Thank you Eva and Kristin for hosting the party!

This Zentangle tile has the two patterns known as "Cirquital" and "Munchin".  The challenge from the http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/ site this week.  We were to use only these two patterns in our design.  Not an easy challenge, as there is the temptation to add in some filler designs, and thereby defeat the challenge purpose. I had never done either of these designs before.  Aparently the "cirqu" part of the first design refers to circus.  With that in mind, I thought of Cirque du Soleil and red and white circus tents.  The balls tumbling across my design, are to represent the tumblers in Cirque du Soleil. And the Munchin could represent the high wire acts?!

This is my entry for The Diva Challenge of the week which is a Mardi Gras theme, and for my Paint Party Friday entry.  This was a lot of fun to do.  I went to a Mardi Gras party last weekend and this was my mask.  In reality it is covered gold glitter and sequins with a black felt piece that comes up between the eyes at the top edge and black feathers all around  the felts edges.  The ribbons are a matte gold and a shiny gold.

The patterns I used are STRIRCLES, FLUKES(also known as CORNER BOX), BLACK BOX, LOTUS PODS, RIVER, CANARD.
