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…
Category: Artwork
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, 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…
Blank Tangle Pattern Card 4×6 Template
Hey fellow tanglers! For those of you who like the blank pattern card template I use to organize my tangles. This is the place where you can download your very own copy. These cards are designed to printed using a photo printer that accepts 4×6 sized photo paper that has the ability to “print to…
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…
Snowbound! Project: Redecorate our Mantle to the rescue!
Well here in the midwest we are experiencing large snowfalls and drops in tempertures in epic proportions. Those of you who live in colder climates may laugh at our plight, but dang it, it’s really cold out there and I want no part of it! So with no shopping, theaters and other outdoor activities taken…
Day Twenty Seven, Creation Twenty Seven
Okay, so I was really hoping that I would finish my One Zentangle a Day self-imposed challenge in 2013. Alas, this was not meant to be. Life always prove that we may not always accomphlish our life’s ambitions, but that does not mean that we stop trying. I learned it is best to brush of…
Flashback Friday: May 2, 2013
Welcome to May 2nd 2013. May 2nd 2013 seems like a really boring day, doesn’t it? I choose to post this particular entry to prove two things. One, not all visual jouranl enties have to be some grand exodus into our memories or be some thought provoking visual montage. Some of my entries are simply…
A Simple Thank You
Here I am finally sitting down at the table, struggling for the words to begin with. Do I start by proclaiming on this second day January 2014 that I have renewed commitment to my art and this blog? Or do I start by explaining my long absence yet again. Anyone who has followed me over…
