I will say up front starting from day thirty six, and including today’s creation, that all of these current challenges required some minor research and purchasing some materials. With that said, what an awesome challenge this was! Day Thirty Seven’s challenge asked us to gather some material together to create a mono Zentangle print. Now…

art is the foundation of everything I do. ideas are formed first through my art and is then carried throughout my other works. without art I would not create.
Day Thirty Six, Creation Thirty Six
Just seven days left in my One Zentangle a Day self-imposed challenge and what a trip it has been so far! I can’t believe I have completed Thirty-six tiles and almost just as many practice journal entries. It has been great to go back and review all the tiles I have made over the past…
Flashback Friday: June 2011
In recognition of Valentine’s Day I decided that I would post a journal entry on a subject near and dear to my heart- my husband and my life-partner Chris. This journal entry is a drawing that I did of my husband after recently moving into our awesome apartment. After many weeks of unpacking boxes we…
Day Thirty Five, Creation Thirty Five
What an awesome Zendala challenge this was! The last two Zendala creations focused on two very different template styles. The first one had an organic style and the second one was very geometric in nature. Today’s creation incorporated both organic curves and geometric shapes for one awesome combination. To start this tile, I knew I…
A quick break from lace knitting…
For some reason, over the weekend I decided to take a little break from my knitted lace border I am applying to my green shawl to cruise around YouTube looking for some knitting techniques. I stumbled across a couple of videos on arm knitting. I have seen and heard about arm knitting before, but I…
Day Thirty Four, Creation Thirty Four
Well this is getting exciting! I am now on my second Zendala and by far the easiest one I have created to date. This creation features only one tangle called “Flukes”. You heard me right, this tile was created only using one tangle! Is that awesome or what? If you wander backwards to my last…
Finished another custom order
This is just a quick update folks. Just wanted to share that I completed my fifth custom order this past week. This time the order consisted of two more basic cowls in black. This is ironic twist of fate since I just completed a single custom order that was also a basic black cowl for…
Flashback Friday: April, 16 2007
I decided today to go way back to April 2007 when I when I frequently watched an anime program called “Eureka 7” that was featured on Cartoon Network at that time. I often find that when an anime program is so beautifully illustrated, I am at times inspired to sketch a character from a…
Day Thirty Three, Creation Thirty Three
What is the world coming to? Now she’s making creations with circles-oh my! This was one of the One Zentangle a Day challenge day I was looking forward to the most- creating my very first Zendala! What is a “Zendala” you ask? Well, a Zendala is inspired by the traditional Mandala graphic design which symbolizes…
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…
