October is National Breast Cancer awareness month. Did you know? I didn't until this week's challenge from
The Diva. I have had 3 women in my life to battle breast cancer. One was my Godmother Cam. She fought bravely but sadly was taken by the disease in the late 1980's. Another is my Aunt who has successfully battled breast cancer with a minimum of side effects. The last is someone I met on the Internet and who I think is truly the definition of hope, strength and courage. Julie is battling cancer currently and I have every hope for the best possible outcome. She is a beautiful person and I am proud to call her a friend.
It is these three women who I thought of as I drew my zentangles for this week's challenge. I will get to send Julie and my Aunt their zentangles, and will keep the one I drew for my Godmother as a reminder of her and her strength and love.
I started each of these tiles with on outline of a ribbon. After deciding on what tangle I wanted to put on the ribbon, I divided the remainder of the space behind and finished the tangle. I used the micron pen, a white and pink gel pen and pink colored pencils.
