Mixed Media Zentangle

One of the things I love about Mixed Media is the freedom to experiment with any combination of techniques together on the same surface.   It's always a new adventure to see how one medium plays with another.  
For this journal spread, I started with layers of colored mono prints, using a Gelli Printing Plate, for the background.
Collage elements were added, and I used black and white pens and pencils to make the Zentangle drawings around the face.  
After the drawing was completed, I added the quote to the facing page, and a bit more work over all with black and white colored pencils.
There are no rules in Art Journaling, which makes it easy to work intuitively and let your ideas flow.

Love the way you put all items together. Great lettering and 'zentangling'.
Thanks for sharing, Dymphie
