New Images

I have added two new hand images and a picture of Wirly Bird with tangles in it.

Finished... For Now

I have completed all the Tangles from Tangle Patterns (except for Tink which I may add to one of my excisting pictures). The pictures are posted on my Experimenting page. As new patterns and strings are added I will update the experimenting page. I am starting on the Diva's Challenges, the Zendala Dares and the Monotangles and will be adding those pictures as I finish them ( probably weekly). I Printed out the zendalas through 50 and my printer ran out of ink. As soon as I can get some ink I will be trying to print them out weekly. I have printed out both the Square and round pictures and want to make a journal of them as I complete them. I have also printed out some of the large ones and want to play around with them with other methods. They may or may not include Zentangles.

Side note: I found this quote on a link from get the words out the other day and really liked it: "Everyone you meet is afaid of something, loves something, has lost something". And I won a prize from Emeral City Tangles today, the first time I ever won anything.

New Images

I finished the hands for my friend, but am still in the process of matting and framing them. She did get to see them for Mother's Day. I have also finished my daughters second hand TIA. I have posted the images for those and some experimental images I have done through 051213 on my other pages. I am now up to the T's on my practicing and am putting 6 pictures on each page. I have uploaded two of those pages and will identify the tangles used later(feeling a little lazy right now).

Thinking

It's raining here right now. That slow, drizzly kind of rain. Rainy days and Mondays always ... make me think. I have been thinking and reflecting on what I am going to do. I thought about closing my Etsy shop but don't know if that is what I really want to do. I am a little frustrated right now with my state of being. I feel like my life has been a series of wrong moves, but then again maybe not. I have a vision that I sometimes feel is hidden from myself. I want to create, to enrich others lives, to continue to learn and expand. However, in so doing I end up with tons of stuff that doesn't do anything but sit in a box or on a shelf. I am not good at self promotion being a somewhat modest person and I think this hinders me getting my stuff out there. I could blame lack of money, lack of equipment, but I think it is more fear of success or rejection ( two sides of the same coin). I feel like the time of me reflecting and thinking should now be a time of action. Maybe, I will learn to fly and soar up to meet my dreams and visions.Maybe I will create some art to reflect these thoughts and help to release my visionary block. Have a blessed and fruitful day.

New experimental images

I have uploaded the Zentangles(R) I have done for the remainder of April on my experimenting page. I am now up to the P's and am working on three hand images as well as using the strings through 50. Two of the hands images are of my friend's daughter and grandson and I am going to try and have those done for Mother's Day. The other hand is of my daughter's left hand. I am hoping to start on the zendala dares and diva challenges in June. I feel I need to become a little more familiar with the tangles that are out there first. I have also been trying some of the tangles that Sandra Strait has(soooooooo many) and some of the other people that have tangles that are not on the Tangle Patterns site.

The weather here has taken a turn back to "wintry", which is okay with me as I'm not ready for it to be "summery" yet. Yesterday there were wasps flying around my porch and today they are talking snow.
