Let me just say this, if I can do it so can you! A couple weeks ago I was getting ready to go on a road trip. I knew I couldn’t take a lot of art supplies, so I decided to prep a watercolor page before I left. What you see above is all the… Continue Reading
Bijou. A two inch square tile – commonly known as a twinchie. In the realm of all things zentangle, these are Bijou tiles. Bijou is a little snail that came home from Paris with Rick and Maria several years ago. They named these tiles after Bijou. You can see a drawing of him – or… Continue Reading
So much fun I had today! I’m taking a year long class called Life Book and I am really just now getting into some of the lessons. (Now that the year is coming to a close soon.) This is the very first face I’ve ever completed! I tried one other earlier, but never finished it…. Continue Reading
Time for another string challenge. Each week, Linda Farmer posts a string challenge on Tangle Patterns.com. This week’s string came from CZT Linda Fine. This is what Linda gave us.

Today I had to ask the question one more time: why do I live in Florida????? Seriously? This photo was taken with my phone at almost 4:00 PM. PM. As in afternoon. Day almost done time. Ugh. And it actually got as high as 104° F, but I was driving and couldn’t take a photo…. Continue Reading
Each week at Tangle Patterns – Linda Farmer posts a string for us to try out. I have saved every string since Linda started this. I organize them in a desktop folder according to year. A little anal-retentive much? (That’s a hold-over term from my police days. Sorry.) The most recent string – #118 –… Continue Reading
This was so much fun!!! Other than the fact it took me three sheets of paper to get this one to work. I am taking an online, year long art class with Tamara Laporte. This is an experimental project I worked on today. I was really excited about this project. Tam had us using Dylusions… Continue Reading
