Just tangling away

This morning I was tangling. No plan, no string, just playing with pattern. Suddenly this critter appeared. I did add the legs once he spoke to me there was nothing I could do but give in to my fine feathered friend.

What's in a name?

I participate with a group on flickr. I really love visiting the site and looking at all the wonderful ZT's. There are a lot of named tangles that come along. In the beginning my tangles only had an identifying number like IMG_0027-1, then Sandra gave a challenge to name your ZT. I began the search for inspiration in naming my artwork. It is not an easy task.  Others are much better at it than I am. Such wonderful things as: A tight squeeze, fat tire collage, Deep blue daze, couch potato, and Day of the Dead.  For me I am so imaginative that I come up with things like, Study in Pastel, Challenge 32, and Mushroom House. I really specialize in one liners like: Colored, Runaway,  Puff, Shaded,  and Ribbons. So you will notice I am without inspiration when it comes to naming my ZT's.  So for today I ask a favor. Name that ZT, because any ZT deserves better than I can give. Any suggestions?

Challenge #32

The challenge:
Use a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch tile. If you have an official Zentangle tile, great, if not, that’s ok too. The frames I will be using fit this size tile. Use any string you like with these four tangles: Pais (by Mikee Huber), Zedbra (by Laura Harms and Margaret Bremner), Keenees (by Donna Hornsby), and Baton (by moi) to create a response to this challenge.

If at first you don't succeed....try, try again.

Fairyland took over my brain

Even though it wasn't intentional it seems all week long my mind has been drawn back to fairy mode. I am anxious for tomorrow's challenge so that I can find a way into a new theme. I love fantasy but I feel trapped and I need new inspiration to find a new path.

Pastels are a fun way to color. I just find them so full of depth. I also find it hard to keep the color off the sides as I slide my hand around. It is nice to have picnic as a program to sort of remove the smudging by adding vignette.

It is Saturday. I will be working for 6 hours at the museum today. How I love the cool morning hours when I can work on my zentangle without interruption. It is okay that my family are not early risers! Now 4:30 a.m. would be early for anyone I suppose. I sold 3 of my bookmarks this week at the art show. I know that isn't really impressive but it was fun anyway. I made this new bookmark to replace one of them. I want the display to still be interesting.

Pastel is great for color

My last 3 pieces of ZT have been larger. (8 1/2 x 11) and I find myself drawn to pastels to color. It is easier on large pieces to use pastel than to use color pencil , which is a lot more time consuming. I still love to have a piece move forward quickly!.

            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.
