    Holiday and Renaissance Zentangling

    30th December, 2015 / Zentangle / No Comments

    The holidays have been keeping me pretty busy. This week offers a break from the day job, but still plenty going on in the studio and with the family.

    I did some tangling for the holidays, and played around a bit with metallic inks on black.

    I’ve also been doing a lot of playing around with Renaissance tiles to help prepare for some upcoming classes. Here are a few that I pulled various elements from for the final class. I do love the tan tiles!

    I hope you holiday season is going well so far, and that the New Year brings joy and well being!

    Happy September!

    Its been another busy week here with teeth, tangles, and back to school!

    My little one had her first ‘official lost tooth’ come out Sunday night, just in time for the first day of school. (Her first 2 had to be pulled when the adult teeth came in behind them – the dentist said he had never seen ones with the entire root still attached like hers – they just did not want to go!) But this one wiggled its way out like normal. Yay!!!

    Toothless!

    Here are a couple of tiles from the facebook groups Weekly Zentangle Video (WZTV) and Square One. Last week’s Square One tangle was Windfarm, which I snuck in just under the wire.

    This week’s was Yincut, which I combined with OOF, the tangle focus for the WZTV group. I really like the play of OOF and Fife next to each other, and may have to play around with those 2 a bit more.

    I also did the Bright Owl Zendala challenge – a nice open zendala for us this week, so I filled with just 3 patterns, including Watusee, by Virginia Lockhart, which I had been wanting to try out.

    I hope your September has started off well! Don’t forget to follow the links above to check out how others have taken on the tangling this week.

    Zendala Challenge #85

    7th January, 2014 / Zentangle / No Comments

    Just a quick post to share my response to the zendala challenge from The Bright Owl. I had been wanting to do a piece with the Chainlea tangle, and this template seemed like a perfect fit.

    It actually ended up reminding me of hops. Since I am not a beer drinker, I had to add Poke Root in the middle to give it a more Lambic feel. 🙂

    Cheers!

Initial sketch for a painting I am working on of T Initial sketch for a painting I am working on of The Marsh Wife. ⁠
⁠
I came across her in the fairytale "The Girl Who Trod on a Loaf" and became intrigued. In the story she gets only a brief mention, and in trying to find additional folk tales about her, nothing really seemed to match up.⁠
⁠
In the story, the Marsh Wife lives under the marshes and runs a brewery there, which is why you see the vapors and gases and bubbles rising through the marsh. These minor characters in stories seem to call to me. They deserve so much more than just a passing scene in someone else's tale!⁠
⁠
Do you have a favorite 'minor' character from a story that you think deserves more?⁠

"The World is so Full of a Number of Things" is fr "The World is so Full of a Number of Things" is from a series I did at the beginning of 2019. ⁠
⁠
This group of work was all about routine and repetition and habit. It was not only about the fresh starts that we try to take on with the start of a new year, but also about the ongoing habits that impact our lives.⁠
⁠
We see developing new habits and changing ourselves as the path to the future, but I also noticed that maintaining the existing routines was one thing that helps keep my Dad going as his memory fails him.⁠
⁠
It is a fine line we all walk to keep moving forward while holding onto those things from the past we still need.⁠
⁠
What are you looking forward to in the new year? What are the good things that you are carrying along with you?⁠

Spent the last week cleaning out my dad’s house Spent the last week cleaning out my dad’s house after getting them moved to be close to family for assistance with the challenge of living with Alzheimer’s. 

Emotionally exhausted from all the sorting and decision making on what to keep and what can go. 

But then you uncover treasures like this: my dad, my brother, and I with Tigger in my grandparents’ back yard. So many wonderful, supportive memories come flooding back from just one image.
