Weekly challenge #240


It is Birthday Leaves for the challenge over at i am the diva this week. I had a lot of fun doing this little Zia. I first used a watercolor wash in the background, then traced the leaves, tangled and finished it up with some extra color using my prismacolor colored pencils. 


Interestingly enough I had started a project with my enrichment class of 7th graders at school doing the same thing last week. They just are finishing up this week, so I thought I would share a little bit of their work with you too.

  
Thanks for stopping by, and for all of your lovely comments! 
They do make my day!
Have a great week and Tangle on!

    I really like the vibrancy of the colors you achieved in your leaf tile and the way you incorporated them into your tangles. I'm quite impressed by the work of your 7th graders. I didn't think 7th graders could sit still long enough to produce the detailed work you've shared. Happy autumn.
