Some of these photos are going to look a little strange. The angle is going to be different than you expect and there are going to be a few shadows. I drew these tiles as I sat on my chaise with my foot propped up and iced. I want to introduce you to a tangle… Continue Reading
Recently, I posted the black and white version of this tile as part of a weekly challenge. You can see the post here. This is what I started with. Some fescu, some mooka, some sunz, some printemps, some tipple, and some flora. All tangle patterns with a bunch of aura-ing. Then today I added color… Continue Reading
Last night on facebook I posted the above picture at The Creator’s Leaf. I was just starting on the new weekly challenge that Joey runs over at MadeByJoey‘s.

And thus the name came about – Dutch Diamonds. The step-outs for Dutch Diamonds. The first project I used… Continue Reading
People laugh when I tell them I can’t draw, but seriously – I can’t! What I can do is take something one step at a time, and keep adding and building on it until I am finished. Let me show you what I mean. Let’s draw this tile. This is my completed project and is… Continue Reading
Last week we spent a few days at Cedar Key, on the gulf, just relaxing. I took along a sketchbook and my peerless watercolor swatches. The shower curtain had all these lovely seashells pictured on it and I thought that I could certainly draw some of them. Apart from zentangle and tangling I can not… Continue Reading
