Zentangle Challenge #43 “Sunflower”

October 12, 2011 5 Comments

This week’s challenge is “Sunflower”. It comes from Penny B. who writes ” In Republic of South Africa, on 12 October we have Bandana Day, which is run by the Sunflower Fund. This is an organization founded in 1999 in support of the SA Bone Marrow Registry for people suffering from leukemia. Every year our local retailer (Pick n Pay) sells Sunflower bandanas and the proceeds go towards the Sunflower Fund…everyone wears a Bandana, somehow somewhere on this day! …” And as sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers, this was a fun challenge to do:

Thank you Penny B. for suggesting this challenge!
