Day Twenty Three, Creation Twenty Three

Ahh! It’s good to be back blogging again. I realized during my short absence, that I missed blogging. Blogging afforded me the ability to talk about what I was working on, what I was feeling and sometimes allowed me to vent. Now that I am trying to get back into the habit, I am coming…

Blogging to be resumed

Today I realized it’s an anniversary of sorts. What anniversary could I possibly be referring to? The anniversary of my last post. Yep, that’s right! Today I am celebrating my absolute laziness and inability to post anything for two months! Yeah! Even though I haven’t posted anything in quite awhile, it doesn’t mean I haven’t…

Day Twenty Two, Creation Twenty Two

Guilty as charged. You caught me in the act of ignoring my blog like the plague. It’s not like I don’t care, I do. However, I just didn’t feel like posting for a while- you know? Not only that, I haven’t really created anything in over a week. Now that’s really lame. Ironically, I have…

Day Twenty One, Creation Twenty One

Yeah! This was a fun couple of tangles to practice with and combine them into one tile. The tangle you see the most is a tangle I absolutely love called “Betweed”. I fell in love with this particular tangle when I first was introduced to the art form of Zentangle. Founder and creator, Maria Thomas,…

Day Twenty, Creation Twenty

Wow! Twenty days ago I started the journey of taking the challenge of creating “One Zentangle A Day” from the self-same titled book by Beckah Krahula. I have been keeping up with my visual journal and creating more completed Zentangle tiles than I thought possible. Even though it has been more than twenty days since…

Day Nineteen, Creation Nineteen

Squares, diamonds and triangles- oh my! Geometric grid patterns was the theme for today’s tangled tile. As a child I always loved working with basic shapes. Later in life in college, I had a knack for breaking down complex imagery to basic shapes and patterns to create an abstract version of a drawing. I remember…

My niece’s first Zentangle tile! I’m so proud!

Well, you might be wondering were I have been all weekend. To put it simply- having fun! Saturday was a rainy wet day in the Chicagoland area, but my husband and I made the best of the day by working out the details for our upcoming Star Wars themed party and hitting a couple of…

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…
