Flashback Friday: August 10th 2012

Summer fadesCool breezes flow Leaves begin to break I remember the day I wrote this haiku that it felt like the beginning of fall. The cool crisp air and smells of autumn wafting in the air. At the time, I was inspired to draw this scene from a quick tutorial offered on Derwent’s website. At…

Day Eighteen, Creation Eighteen

House Painting. Yep, that’s what I did all weekend long. No adventures, no long bike rides, no relaxing. I didn’t even catchup on housework- just house painting. Sad thing is, it wasn’t even my house. As an FYI, I don’t own a home- I rent an apartment. period. It’s not like I really don’t mind…

Day Seventeen, Creation Seventeen

Oh the wonderful webs we can weave! At least that is what I am think when I look at my tile. Day Seventeen asked me to continue to focus on organic curvy patterns and seek to combine them with a linear style tangle. If you haven’t notice already, I tend to lean towards using organic…

Day Sixteen, Creation Sixteen

Organic patterns and colors combine- oh my! I took a little break from posting, but now I am back and ready to share my latest creation. After all these days I finally had a chance to play with color! Not just any color, but I was able to incorporate my new Derwent Intense pencils in…

Flashback Fridays: July 30th 2013

I have very fond memories of creating this journal page. First of all, my husband on my birthday gave me one of my greatest gifts. My very first Zentangle book! In case you are wondering, the book was titled “Zentangle Untangled” by Kass Hall. As you may have already guessed, lately most of my art…

Day Fifteen, Creation Fifteen

Ah! Day Fifteen, you’re finally here! Okay, so I know I am not posting consecutive days. Heck, I am not even creating these on a daily basis, but I do know that I have accomplished one of my goals. That is say that I have proudly been posting my creations (somewhat) consistently for the past…

Flashback Friday: July 29th 2012

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…
