Every so often I like to show you what our area looks like. Where we live. Many of you read from different parts of the country, even different parts of the world. Right now most of us are social distancing and that makes taking photos of Maine a bit harder. Mark and I are on… Continue Reading
Creative Crafty Friends continues to give me ways to create art other than just tangling. I enjoy tangling, but really I prefer making color and these swaps gives me that opportunity. For this particular swap we worked on the letter V. Letter V is not so easy to come up with words for. Did I… Continue Reading
Can you believe we are already in week twelve?! As we sit here socially distanced from the world I am trying to work ahead a bit and get ahead of my group. Hahaha! Tangle All Around is working hard on this project! Each week I give them seven of the 170 patterns from Zentangle® to… Continue Reading

Recently I was working on swaps for Facebook group Creative Crafty Friends. We do a lot of swaps! The one I was working on called for spring ATCs, artist trading cards.

I used Dina Wakley’s new glossy acrylic sprays for the base on a sheet of Harmony cold pressed watercolor paper from Hahnemühle. I cut that sheet of paper into two pieces and today I want… Continue Reading
