New post for the new year

I have been  having a lot of things in my mind lately and hence could not blog for the new year. I hope everyone had a creative new year !

This week at the Diva's weekly challenge we have to use a tangle as a string. I chose the tangle " Ixorus" as my string for this challenge. The only change I made was I did not draw the auras around the half moon shape instead I drew tangles in those spaces. Hope you like it.

Title: Ixorus Tangle
Medium: Pen and Ink with  Color Pencils

In my last post I mentioned that I taken  a class on Mosaics Art. Here are some of my Mosaic art pieces.  These are my first pieces and I totally enjoyed doing these.

Title: Heart Mosaics by Indirect Method

Title: Flower Mosaics by Direct Method

And  finally here is a still life painting created using the iPad. This painting is inspired by Birger Sandzen ( 1871-1954). I had seen the artist's works on the " American Art Review" magazine and was inspired to try one of the artist's work.

Title: Fruits in an Indian Bowl
Medium: iPad Art
Apps used: Sketch club

With that I will leave you all with a quote for you to ponder on.

Take care and Happy Creating/Tangling!
