Day Thirty Two, Creation Thirty Two
Oh what fun today’s creation was! Today’s challenge was to take a familiar shape and break some boundaries! I decided for this tile that I would use a cute little bird shape. Once that was decided, I filled in my bird with all sorts of tangles: “Tagh”, “Tat”, “Finery”, “Betweed”, “Nekton”, “Sedgling”, “Fesu”, “ “NZeppel”,…
Day Thirty One, Creation Thirty One
Faux Illuminated Letters was the theme for today`s challenge. The “faux” part of these illluminated tiles is that I didn`t use real gold just a gold pen… Anyway, I really loved using letters as outlines that I decided to make two tangles! The first tile created was on black paper using opaque Gellyroll pens from…
Magical appearing blog posts
Hello to any new readers of this blog! I want to avoid any confusion for any visitors of my site with posts that are suddenly magically appearing from a couple of years ago.

Flashback Friday: July 31, 2012
Okay folks, it’s cold snowy and just plain dreary out there! I thought I would perk myself up by posting a journal entry from over the summer of 2012. I remember I was pretty hell bent on keeping up with my husband as he trained for his first sprint triathlon. I was not in awesome…
Day Thirty, Creation Thirty
The day has finally arrived. Today I will be posting my very first tangle I ever created! Without further ado…I would like to introduce my new tangle called “Lazy Eights”! This fun new tangle was inspired by my One Zentangle a Day, Day Thirty challenge. For this day, I was asked to use my practice…
Lazy Eights Tangle Pattern
Lazy Eights is a very easy tangle that uses a simple figure eight drawn line repeated in two directions; one vertical and one horizontal. Doing this creates a little flower-like bloom. Lines are drawn from the center outward as an added flair to each of the open petals. As a final touch I added a…

Day Twenty Nine, Creation Twenty Nine
So I spent the past couple of weeks playing around with creating my very own tangle as I eluded to in my last post. I finally picked one of my designs, gave it a name and was already to unveil my glorious new tangle. However, upon looking up what my next day would entail, I…
My little disclaimer about this site
Okay, so I realize that it is important to stay consistant when starting a new site. I also realize since starting this blog that I have changed this blog’s design and theme at least four-five times since it’s inception. My bad; I know… So why do I change the design of this site so much?…
Flashback Friday: My childhood kitchen table circa 1992
I decide to go into the very distant past and go way, way back to 1992 where I sat as a child and decide to draw what was before me. Sitting at the table ready to draw, from my young perspective was the entire kitchen ready to be lovingly recreated on my little piece of paper ….
Day Twenty Eight, Creation Twenty Eight
Sorry for the little gap in time folks. After a wonderful time-off relaxing at home, it was time to get back to work-literally. It’s been super busy these past three days, so I am a little behind in posting this day. Day Twenty Eight marks the fifteenth day remaining until I complete my One…
