Follow your dreams

Fragile

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one

Drying in the colour of the evening sun

Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away

But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant

To clinch a lifetime's argument

That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could

For all those born beneath an angry star

Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star, like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are, how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star, like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are, how fragile we are

How fragile we are, how fragile we are

Fragile, Sting, 1987

ZenArtChallenge June 2016 revisited

All of June's tangles of the June ZenArtChallenge combined in one big zentangle piece. 

ZenArtChallenge June 2016

Heather Buchman started a Zentangle Challenge with one tangle pattern per day and named it #ZenArtChallenge. Here's the link to the facebook group. This is my journal spread with all the patterns of the completed June challenge.

DLS week 1 - Be your own goalkeeper

Art Challenge: Book Paper
Journal Prompt: Be Your Own Goal Keeper

This is the zentangled tag, repeating the word GELASSEN from my first art journal page. On the other side of the tag I brainstormed about the prompt what being a goalkeeper could mean... I wasn't really comfortable with the prompt but loved the art challenge that came with it. How fitting that the first one was to use book paper when my art journal is actually an old book and so some of the torn out papers were put back in the book. I mainly used watercolours, maybe I wanted a lighter feel to the pages, acryl is heavier somehow.
The metaphor (or double meaning) of the goalkeeper (or even of the word goal) is hard to get a grip on as a native German because the two German translations aren't related at all. Maybe that's why it was hard to focus on that. But the re-use of things that appeared on the first pages did the trick I guess... 

Watercolour Swap II - September

It's been a while since Laura and I swapped watercolour cards for the second time in September. Hers was beautiful Miss Autumn in very bright and intense colours - simply love the orange and blue contrast. It's part of my autmn decoration now!

Since Laura likes birds very much and I had a Zentangle phase again, I decided to do a kingfisher Zentangle style and add the watercolours. 

 

Here's the black & white version:
