Tangling with (Found) Stencil

This week's challenge at I am the Diva is tangling with a stencil. I really don't have any commercial stencil. So I "found" one. What I used as the stencil was the hollowed space left on a paper after a tag has been punched out. Recently, I have been creating tags from old manila folders. Once the tags have been punched out, the hollows resembled like the windows of medieval castles. So, I kept a few of them hoping for a creative use for them. Diva's challenge #126 gave the perfect opportunity!

Found Prose and Zentangle: Challenge #120

The challenge at I am the Diva is called Tangellation Nation and the task is to just use "Bales" as the solo tangle. Bales is easy and versatile and lends itself to much variations. I decided to create an altered page ZIA with found prose. The trick is to highlight certain words and phrases on a printed page while blacking out all other words to create new prose. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. I took a page out of Deepak Chopra's Ageless Body and Timeless Mind and created what you see above. The words that I chose to highlight changed the whole message of that book! I guess that's what artistic expression is all about.
