#whimsybykelly2015 Day 26

Today's creativity is more mental than visual.

ROFL

Joey's Weekly Tangle Challenge is to tangle your hand.

Yak-Yak-Yak, Blah-Blah-Blah

Talk.

whimsybykelly2015 Day 25

I really didn't get around to doing anything until late this afternoon.

Not quite right

I worked on a handmade journal for about three days, just experimenting.

Whimsybykelly2015 Day23

Thank you Kelly for today's prompt.

Seriously!

Maybe it's the generation I'm from, I don't know...

#whimsybykelly2015 day 22

I was working on a second idea I had for Joey's challenge today and totally messed up on my Joy tangle. So I did this:

Unknown 2015

 
I am going to do some more to it so it is currently a work in progress.

Joy

Joey's son will be 10 this week. Happy birthday little one.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 20

I have been working on painted pages and organizing my tidbits for my journals I plan to make.

Moebius Awareness

The Diva's Challenge this week is the annual Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day challenge.

BB

I did the Square One challenge today.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 18

I started making another journal using a box from a sugar substitute. So far I have completed the outside cover. I used some paper that I had printed out in 1 inch grids and played around with a potential pattern on. I used washi tape with a bicycle pattern on it along the spine and the side of the front and back covers. I haven't decided what I am going to use for the inside cover yet or how I am going to bind it. I am thinking about using it for one of my challenges or making it a "junk" journal.

Tackle It Tuesday

I managed to complete my Tackle It Tuesday tile.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 17

I have managed to complete the It's A String Thing #75 tile. I am going to try and do my tile for Tackle It Tuesday and at least get it posted tonight.

Floor tile 2

I have managed to complete a second tile for Joey's challenge showing Decollation as four mini tiles.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 16

Hello all. I missed posting yesterday. I got part way to completing my sign for my word, however I did not get to scan or post the work I did on it.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 14

No pictures today, just commentary.

Finish

I pondered over the whole word of the year thing that so many people do and decided to attempt finding a word for me.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 13

I decided what my focal word for the year will be.

200 aka Bi-Zen-Tennial

The Diva posted her 200th challenge today.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 12

I did my Every Inchie Monday two different ways this week. One was a hand drawing and the other is a decoupaged picture. This week's word was giraffe.

Quilled work

I had mentioned to Zoe Brener that I would post some of my old quilling work on my blog.

#whimsybykelly2015 #11

I completed my Square One Tile and I also did a third tile for Pattern Mixer.

Art store adventure

I finished the other hand I had traced over the holidays. Then off I went to the art store with my daughter. We meandered around looking at various things. I got a couple packages of tortillions, some more Micron pens, three Prismacolor Premiere colored pencils (powder blue, lilac and black grape). Strathmore now carries a line of artist tiles in 4x4 and 6x6 of different types. I picked up a package of 20 Bristol ( vellum surface) 300 Series 4x4 tiles. They were out of the black ones. I decided to look for washi tape, tracing paper and elmer's glue someplace else. We checked out and my daughter couldn't find her keys. I asked her did she lock them in the car. They were in the car, in the ignition with the car running; thank goodness the doors were unlocked and the car was still there. We were in the art store at least 20 minutes, I guess no one needed a vehicle right at that moment. We went on to the grocery store and Wal-Greens. I found my elmer's glue and of all things washi tape there, no tracing paper though (that will be an adventure for another day).

I have decided to devote my weekend mornings to looking at what others have posted on the challenges I follow. At that time I will also post any comments. I think Sunday will be my Diva peek day as so many people post on that challenge. This, of course, is subject to change.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 10

After looking at the Jennibellie thing the other day I decided to make a background on a canvas for a project I have in mind.

#whimsybykelly2015 Day 9

I completed my tile for Tackle It Tuesday. I'm glad that challenge is back, I missed it the last few weeks.

Tackle It Tuesday N-E-W Tangles: Nvelope, Efilys, Whirl

Like minds

I recently watched a YouTube video of Jennibelle's favorite art technique of 2014, you can see it here:

#whimsyby kelly2015 day 8 part 2

I just read Kelly's prompt for today and decided to post a hand I finished tangling today.

#whimsybykelly2015 #8

I finished my ZIA for the Pattern Mixer challenge. It kind of got away from me in working with it but I am pleased with the result. I will probably do at least one more for the challenge. It may be that this particular challenge may see me making 2-4 pieces each month, we'll see as the year progresses.

It's A String Thing #74

Adele Bruno challenged us to use String 074 and the tangles Kiss, Lealad, and Twizted for this week.

#whimsybykelly2015 #7

These are some practice chips I did for the Pattern Mixer challenge while sitting with my friend's mom today.

#whimsybykelly2015 day 6

For today's creative endeavor I am posting a WIP for the Pattern Mixer challenge. This month we are to use Arukas and Balloya by Anyz Lathrop CZT.

The Diva's Back

This weeks Diva's challenge is a UMT (use my tangle) challenge.

Creating day 4

Today I created a more manageable workspace (hopefully), no picture available. I also created my pages in my sketchbook in anticipation of the Diva's challenges for 2015.

Short Post

I finally finished my It's A String Thing challenge for this week. I am posting it on Adele Bruno's site and also on Whimsy by Kelly for day 3 of creating.

Challenge Crazy

Evidently I am a glutton for punishment challenges.

2015!!!!

                Happy New Year
