Okay gang! I finally made it to day forty! This little milestone is marks nearly the end of my 42 day journey from the book One Zentangle a Day. I definitely did not create a tile every single day, but I have for the most part drawn every day since starting this quest. The in…

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.
Flashback Friday: August 9, 2012
Since the sun is currently shining upon the Midwest, I thought I would celebrate by posting a colorful entry on my site. I know this journal page may appear boring, but this entry proves that you can fill your journal with whatever you want. If you are stuck for ideas, why not catalog some of…
Day Thirty Eight, Creation Thirty Eight
Cool! Now I get to add bag designer to my art resume! As you can tell, today’s creation involved tangling on fabric. Similar to yesterday’s post, this creation required a little forethought before diving in. First off, I needed some fabric to tangle on, so I headed over to my local craft store to scope…
Day Thirty Seven, Creation Thirty Seven
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
