Because of my changing interest, I have decided to re-boot my website. You will find the new website at www.amarylliscreations.com.
Digital paintings
This week I have been creating some new digital paintings. This first one was done in iColorama and Metabrush.
This is the first in a series of abstracts based on tangle patterns. This one is based on a pattern called Membranart by Tomás Padrós.
This one is based on the Echo Lines techniques by Eni Oken, using one of my metallic textures.
And this is another piece in Tricia Dewey’s Framed Botanicals class. I found this photo on Pixabay of a hand holding a photo frame, and I thought it would work for a class painting.
Digital paintings from online class part 3
Here are a few more paintings I created as part of the online class Framed Botanicals by Tricia Dewey.
In this painting, I used a photo of my grandmother in place of a botanical object.
Creating art with my Digital Papers part 4
The images below are digital paintings created using digital papers from my Sets 9 and 12.
If you are creating artwork with my digital papers, and you would like me to include it in a blog post, you can contact me on this page. If you are on Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest, please tag your work with the #digitalpapersbygenevieve hashtag.
You can see all my digital papers by clicking here.

The papers from Set 9 are designed especially for tangling, with textured backgrounds and shapes with colours from the background. Here is an example on which I drew some simple mandalas.
This is a mandala I created in iOrnament, layered in Procreate on a background from Set 12.
The Ultimate Weekly Roundup Link Collection eBook
The Ultimate Weekly Roundup Link Collection
a resource for pattern drawing artists
This final eBook features links from seven years of the Weekly Roundup. It contains, in one convenient place:
- over 6,200 links to pattern step-outs and videos,
- around 350 links to tutorials and other interesting content in 16 categories, culled from all 344 Weekly Roundups.
In your PDF reader, you can search for a pattern name, or a pattern designer’s name. Patterns are listed in alphabetical order of pattern name, great for those challenges that require you to use patterns whose name starts with a particular letter.
The eBook doesn’t contain the patterns themselves, just web links to them.
Click here to download a free sample.
Cost of the eBook is USD$6.49, payable with PayPal.
The eBook is in PDF format which can be read on most computers, smartphones, or tablets.
Digital paintings from online class part 2
I am still working on the online class Framed Botanicals by Tricia Dewey.
Here are four more paintings based on my own backgrounds, and photos of botanicals from Pixabay. I created the first one in honour of Remembrance Day, November 11th.
Weekly Roundup #344
I want to thank everyone who sent heartwarming comments via the blog, email, and Facebook.
This will be the last roundup in this form. In the next week I will be working on assembling the eBook that will contain links to all the patterns and videos I collected in seven years of weekly roundups, and more!
The eBook will be available here on Friday, November 17th.

Digital paintings from online class
I have been in a bit of a rut with my digital painting lately. Then I started a great online class called Framed Botanicals by Tricia Dewey. It’s an awesome class.
I have created these three paintings, mostly in Procreate, and I am working on a bunch more. What fun!
Weekly Roundup #343
The Future of the Weekly Roundup
Dear friends… When I started the Weekly Roundup in December 2010, shortly after I became a Certified Zentangle® Teacher, I had no idea that it would continue for this many years. I appreciate all my faithful readers, and also all the wonderful artists’ contributions.
Sadly though, the readership of the Roundup has diminished considerably over the last few years, which tells me that a lot fewer people are finding it useful.
Also, during this time, my interests have been changing. I am doing less tangling, more mixed-media art, and more digital art. I am also making a resolution to spend more time making art, and less time looking at artwork or watching how-to YouTube videos. I will also be revamping my website.
So… Weekly Roundup #345 (in two weeks) will be the last one. I will be announcing an updated eBook of pattern links and videos, which will also include links to websites and Facebook groups for you to check to stay up to date on everything to do with tangling.
