Choose your own adventure...

What a hectic day! Much of today was spent at the shops running errands. There was a highlight to this however...I stopped by the art shop for a little look around. There was an art diary with blank canvas board covers that I HAD to have! I mean, how could anyone in their right mind pass up the opportunity to design their own art book cover?!

The second I stepped out of the art shop with my purchase, the race was on to finish my chores so that I could sit down and begin my cover!

Finally around 3:30pm I was able to plonk my bum on the couch and start on my cover. Given my new, sudden obsession for zentangle's it is no surprise that my cover design is exactly that! I will have the title of this blog on the cover and all the negative space around it will be covered with zentangle's. This one will be coloured. 

Incidentally, today I was looking at marked down calendars (I never buy them before 1st January...here we are only 3 days I to the year and they were marked down by 40%!), and there was a zentangle calendar! I came very, very close to buying it but eventually settled on a calendar of cute kittens swearing.

But anyway, I spent a few hrs on my book cover this arvo and only got half way through designing it; so this will carry over two days for my drawing a day. Here is what I have done so far...thanks for reading and check back tomorrow for the next progress shot
