Welcome to the second installment of “Flashback Fridays”! This particular journal entry was an emotional one. The page chronicles my husband and sister-in-law’s awe inspiring feat of finishing their first triathlon together! After months of training, it all came down to this single day. I couldn’t be prouder of my husband and sis! I felt…

Day Fourteen, Creation Fourteen
Day Fourteen was all about the “Decorative Value” technique that you can bring into your Zentangle tile. For those that are not familiar Decorative Values, it is using different levels of shading to give depth. On my piece, I use three different levels of shading; one per plane. The lightest plane, therefore appearing the closet,…
Day Thirteen, Creation Thirteen
Sorry for my little hiatus everyone. What can I say? A music event of epic proportions took over my life the entire weekend. What is this awesome music festival you ask? Lollapalooza! Lollapalooza is a fantastic musical event where over 70 bands perform for three days in Chicago. Great bands, rock ‘in music and all-around…
Day Twelve, Creation Twelve
Balance and harmony was today’s theme. What a perfect thought. We all could use some of that in our lives- right? Balancing our finances, our households and relationships. Bringing harmony to our emotions, marriage and work-life. These things are not only important to our very existence, but it is also important in creating art. Day…
Day Eleven, Creation Eleven
I finally feel great this evening! After some well deserved rest a from a head-cold I have been battling, I am starting to feel human again and ready to take on my art! Day eleven brought on a new challenge for me. The book stated I could use any tangle I learned so far to…
Day Ten, Creation Ten
Well, here I am, I finally made it to day ten! There was a slight delay in posting this one- my birthday got in the way, but now I am back on track. Birthday celebrations aside, learning these new tangles took some time and practice. I tend to practice in my journal so I don’t…
Day Nine, Creation Nine
I was so excited when I turned to day nine in my “One Zentangle A Day” book. Day nine brought something I haven’t done before; working with a white pen on a black tile! This day’s challenge required me to do a little shopping. First , the black tile. Acquiring black tiles that were readily…
Flashback Friday: July 28th 2012
Hey! What’s going on here? Two blog posts in one day? Wow! Welcome to my new weekly event I have self titled as “Flashback Fridays”. Starting this week, I will begin posting entries from my visual journal that happened in the past. My first post documents a very special day for me- my birthday! As…
Day Eight, Creation Eight
It’s hard to believe that I have posted eight entries as of today to the One Zentangle a Day self-imposed challenge I undertook. Maybe it’s my imagination, but it feels like this is getting easier as I delve deeper into each page of the book. Day eight focused more on making each section appear to…
Day Seven, Creation Seven
I had a great time with today’s theme: Tangleations! What is a Tangleation you ask? It’s where you take already learned tangles and combine them to make a new tangle variation. It’s like a music mash-up without a melody. At first, I thought this challenge would be hard- deciding which tangles to combine, how I…
Day Six, Creation Six
Saturday. The day of sleeping and getting much needed rest from yet another exhausting work week. I will be the first to admit that my workdays were not filled with time-sensitive stressful projects, but I will say that if I look at another spreadsheet or have to type up another long-winded document, my brain might…
Day Five, Creation Five
Another day, another creation. Today’s challenge from day five’s from “One Zentangle a Day” incorporated two tangles I was already familiar with and a new one I fell in love with. The first two tangles used were “Scoodle” and a “Fescu Variation”. The new tangle I learned from this day’s challenge was called “Isochor” which…
