Mookolour (or Mookolor for those using US spelling!)

A couple of brief notes - I have updated and amended the Zentangle Glossary (link to the left) with input from the creators, Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts (and could one of you savvy ladies on blogspot PLEASE tell me how to make anchors within a page? - or guy, as long as you can help! *G*).

Also, as has everyone I appear to have been swallowed whole by the Mooka bug!  It keeps cropping up all over my artwork (and I wouldn`t have it any other way!).  Today`s little bit of happiness uses two varieties of Mooka and adds in a little bit of a my favourite podlike flourishes, filler blocks and COLOUR.  Yes, it`s been raining on and off since Sunday and the sun is rather shy.  Since Spring around here seems to need a fair bit of cheering on, I`m doing my bit when and how I can.
Happy Wednesday!

Challenge #16 - Mooka !

Doesn't that sound just like a glad exclamation?  Something like the Greek "OPA!"  Can't you just hear it? MOOKA!  *G*  This is the newest Official Zentangle® Tangle, just released with a "how-to" video on YouTube.  It's the brainchild of Maria Thomas and a product of her long-time love affair with the works of William Morris and Alphonse Mucha.  I have to admit I, too, have been entrapped by their exquisite taste and peerless sense of colour.  There is something so viscerally appealing about the fluid lines in their designs and this is beautifully captured in the flowing tangle that Maria has designed.  The ever-flexible Diva of Tangle Delights immediately seized the opportunity to have multiple explorations of this new tangle by using it for our challenge of the week.  Just think - all over the globe, Zentangle enthusiasts of all stripes, CZTs, artists, amateurs who have stumbled onto the wonders of this burgeoning artform are bending their creative juices towards the creation of a person version of this gorgeous new tangle.  MOOKA!  Doesn't it just sound like the perfect celebratory exclamation for this challenge?  Speaking of which, this is my own small contribution to the global party:
Happy Monday!
