Did you ever have that moment of when you finally have to time to sit down and write when this happens…. Nothing. It can be frustrating to look forward to something all day and not think of a single thing to say when the moment arrives. Obviously even as I am writing this I am…

Flashback Friday: Spring is Here! #art #ink #spring
Looking back at this past week it does feel like spring – doesn’t it? Apparently I felt the same way this time last year OR maybe it was wishful thing at the time… Regardless, spring always feel like a welcome change after staying cooped up in our houses all winter long. Like many critters that…
Forgotten Flashback: Jan 18th 2015 #art #ink #summer #dnartcorner
In the bleakness of a January winter all you want is to feel a summer breeze and the warmth of the sun on your face. This is how I felt last January in the midst of all that snow and cold winds that whipped around me. Its those long winter days that make me dream…
Flashback Friday Comeback: Feb 18th #art #mixedmedia #dnartcorner
Long time no see… It’s been awhile since my last post. Alas, I have been plagued with cold-then-flu which had me out of the loop for a long while. I am been slowly starting to feel human again. While I have been away the weeks have been zipping on by. Many Fridays have come and gone without…
Flashback Friday: Dec 25th 2014 #art #mixedmedia #dnartcorner
“It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes or bags!… Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! “Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more!” ~Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Merry Christmas to everyone who has every…
Flashback Friday: Dec 14th 2014 #art #ink #mixedmedia #dnartcorner
Here we are with only 7 days until Christmas and not a snowflake in sight – at least here in the Midwest. While I do not treasure shoveling snow like most folks, I do enjoy the beauty and wonder those crystalline flakes add to the season. They especially look most wondrous against the ‘twinkling of…
Flashback Friday: Dec. 2, 2014 #art # ink #mixed media #dnartcorner
Hello readers, I can’t believe it is already December! My how time flies! Amongst the Christmas craziness and commercialism that surrounds the holidays, I take great solace in drawing in my journal. There is something special about putting pen to paper creating lines, words and adding a splash of color. It’s very meditative and calming….
Flashback Friday: August 17, 2014
Greetings readers! I almost totally forgot to post my journal entries today! Well, the day is not over and we have plenty of sunshine left to the evening. For this post, I have two journal entries to share that happened around this time last year in August. First up is my little drawing of our…
Flashback Friday Kick-off Week!: July 28-30th
Welcome back to my Flashback Friday Kick-off Week! Now we are starting to get into the heart of my journal with the very start of my year – my birthday! The first entry highlights in an abstract way the elated feelings I have around my birthday. The drawing technique is a Zentangle inspired pattern “Tumbleweed” brought…
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 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, 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…
