Would love to have your comments.

This week the Diva challenge was to use a sepia color in our designs.  I was a little hesitant because I love the traditional black and white designs.  However, once I got started with color, "Eureka!", I loved it and decided to use some blue, green,and orange.   I had decided to make a tree's roots in the sepia color, and wanted my other patterns to be organic.  I really like the final effect.  My title reflects the fact that our roots are the source of everything that comes later in our lives.  Go on over to visit all the other artists,including Laura,aka"The Diva",to see their superb designs!  http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/   PS, don't be thrown off by the date on this post.  In order to get all my tangles on a separate page tab in my blog, I have to put them all on December 2010 so they are at the end of all my posts.

My original design in black and white is below.  I had cards printed from my photos.  After the cards were printed I added the color to the two hearts.  The basketweave shadows are with pencil, the brighter colors in the two hearts with paint pens.  I notice that the background of the card looks blue for some reason.  It is not, it is sepia toned. This is considered a ZIA, Zentangle in art. This is my Happy Valentine to you all.  Thank you for appreciating my art.
This is my Paint Party Friday entry, too.  Happy PPF!.
