When my body demands relief and I wake up at 5....there is a quiet house and time to myself. How I love to tangle in the early morning hours. It is a great way to start the day!

I've been wanting to try this for a while now. I have seen it done this way before....it was fun working in circles!
So sometimes I see other zentanglists and I think....oh wow, I would love to be able to do that.....and then I think. I need to be myself. Sometimes what I do is wonderful and sometimes it is not so wonderful....but it is me and that is the whole idea. I think we all find that we have good and bad days. But zentangle we must!
I think the tangling is good for my mind. It sometimes gives it a rest.....untangling the cares of the day. Giving peace to my soul. I so enjoy the time I spend with the paper beneath my pen. Sometimes I get tired of a piece and finish too quickly. I am trying to learn to put it away and finish it when I need the tangle relief. I am glad we do these small. i have been asked to participate in an area showing of artist next month and the miniature pieces will be harder to show, or at least they want a bigger piece. I find that I get bored with the coloring process after a while and have to put it down. I am hoping that if I do put it down I won't rush the color too much. You can see the piece under fauna. My miniature for today is "Flying"
Have I ever done zentangle on people's faces? Is a question I have been asked. Actually I have not. I found zentangle last year. I used to face paint a lot at county fairs but I just used ideas from stamping catalogs. Now that it has been mentioned I am thinking....wow, wouldn't it be fun to face paint using zentangle. It is a novel idea. Humm....this summer maybe I should try face painting again!
This morning I just wanted to work with black and white and the tangle just seemed to go on and on!2/16/2011 So I love shading.....it takes a flat drawing to many different places. Sometimes you get hills and sometimes you get valleys but your work always changes!
This is a new pattern by the Diva...."Artoo" I am hoping to do better with the next tangle.......not happy with all that's going on but it is a beginning!
So today I only tangled one design....that is a good thing!
Yesterday I received a valentine in the mail from my little grandson and I thought...oh dear.....I forgot.....grandchildren need valentines. So last night I began my valentines for my 5 sweet grandchildren. I hope they will find them to be exactly what they want.

I am a wife, mother, grandmother, clerk, and appreciator of art. Sometimes I try to produce some art myself. Mainly I love the art of others. Doodling has been a big part of my life. Notes were never left unadorned. Now that I have found zentangle....doodling has become more exciting and fun! I hope you enjoy.
