Altar Screen Meets Zentangle

OK, I think I went a bit over the top with this piece!  I was SO gung ho to do another altar screen that I just about bit off more than I could chew!  I started again with the blank, tri-fold screen that I told you about in my last post.  I just love those screens!  They're affordable, a great size and easy to work, whether you're painting or collaging.

I made this screen when I was consumed by Zentangle® mania.  It's called "Art and Soul," because the quote that I stamped on the front says, "Art is the Soul made visible".   I dyed tissue paper and layered it on the blank screen.  Then I went crazy with my Micron pens!

The challenge with this screen was laying on the color so that it was pleasing and there was continuity from panel to panel when the screen was opened.  What do you think?

Here's the back view...

And here's the back opened up...

Even though I started to feel that this piece would never be finished, I realized that I truly did enjoy working on it.  The colors drew me in, almost like falling down the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland!

Hope you've enjoyed the scenery,
