Easter greetings

Happy Easter to all who recognize and celebrate this day. I scanned some of my work yesterday and will attempt to upload it today. With the exception of UP,UP and Away these are practice pieces of the tangles on TanglePatterns.com. I am basically going alphabetically and am learning a whole lot of things. I also have found other tangles that people have done and I have worked on them. I may do practice works with those also. I am working on a handprint right now that incoporates the last of the B's and the first of the C's. I had a great deal of difficulty with Bucky but finally figured it out. In the handprint my first attempt was done on the pinky finger and is all messed up. This is kind of ironic in that my pinky is bent and can't straighten out so I am going to leave it that way.My ring finger on that hand is also a little bit bit and I used Bwiya on that one. This is also a tangle I have difficulty with. I will post the handprint when it is completed.

This is all new to me. I never was much good at keeping a diary so I don't knoe how this is going to work. I want to have a place to post some of my thoughts and art. I will try to use this more than once a week, but for now will aim for weekly. This reminds me of opening that journal for the first time, seeing the blank page and wondering what do I do now. Retirement was like that also. You have all these ideas and plans, but executing them is a whole different matter. Then there's the issue with equipment and operator malfunction. I don't have a fancy camera or even a cheap camera so I will proably be scanning some stuff. I'm always having some kind of computer issue(i.e. overheating, internet connection problems, wireless connection with printer not working), so even though I am part of the modern world I still sometimes feel like a dinosaur. The one thing I do have that is old fashioned though is perseverance and the attitude that these things will not rule me. I'll figure it out or contact someone who can figure it out for me (my son-in-law or my IT friend). 

Sooooooo, hopefully, I will be posting some things of interest in the near future.
