It's been a long time...

Hi all.  I am sorry that I haven't posted in such a long time.  I have been busy teaching and making Christmas cards.  Here is some of the Zentangle and ZIAs that I have been working on...

From template from Ben Kwok's Ornation Creation

This butterfly was a commission piece.  The client sent me color swatches and I matched them for her.  She loved the way it turned out!

The next three colorful butterflies are part of a series that I have drawn and framed.

The inspiration for this piece was a teapot.  Love how it turned out!

Some Interesting Work and I am the Diva Challenge #228

Hi all.  I have been a busy girl this past month.   First, (on the first) of July, I started taking a new a new medicine and I passed out on the bathroom floor, flat on my face!  I broke my nose and a tooth and mashed in another 2.  My husband called 911 and I went to the emergency room (6:00 AM) where they checked me in and got me to a room pretty fast.  I was there for 5 days!  While I was there, I was having some pretty weird dreams and it inspired my creativity quite a bit.  My teeth are well on their way to being as good as new.  (I won't go into the details)  So, a couple of days ago, I started taking another new medicine (different one for something else).  I started itching after a day or so and broke out in HUGE welts!  They are red and big (about the size of a silver dollar) and itch like crazy!!  Went to my primary (for something else) and he put me on Prednisone for a week.  Having cancer is such a blast!  There is always something!  I have also been busy teaching Zentangle classes.  This has been my busiest month so far.  I did about 5 classes.

Anyway, Here are some of the things that I have been working on...

 This one is drug induced, I swear!  It is an organic underwater scene that I am going to enter into 

the I am the Diva challenge #228.

 This is another organic tile that I did on a black tile with colored pencils, that I am also
entering into the I am the Diva challenge #228.

 This is a dove from Oration Creation.  I haven't shaded it because I might do some color.

 This is a larger piece that I did using a fairly new product call Color Burst pigment powders.  

It's a bit on the dark side, but I like it.  Haven't decided if I am going to frame it in one piece 

or cut it into smaller sizes.

I showed this cat, earlier but I decided to add more color and framed it and sent it to my sister 

for her birthday.  She was thrilled!

Hope you enjoyed seeing my latest work.  

Till next time...

I am a slacker...

Hi all.  I am sorry it has taken me so long to post.  I have been very busy tangling, making cards and doing things with my church.  Time just got away from me!  Here are some new projects that I have been working on.

 This butterfly was a commissioned piece.

Some New Projects

I have been very busy, tangling.  I have so many tiles that I have done in the past few months that I can't even post them all.  I know, I shouldn't have waited so long to post.  However, I have also been very sick so that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it!  I am somewhat better, but still, not 100%.  So, here is some of what I have been doing...

              

Hope you enjoyed seeing my work.

Till next time...

   

 Here are some of my most recent ZIAs.  

The first one is a hummingbird that I did from a template done by Ben Kwok.  I  printed it on watercolor paper and colored it with watercolor paints.  It is much more vibrant in person.

This one is a Zendala greeting that I made for a special order.   I had to make 12 of

them!   I stamped the image on watercolor paper and tangled and shaded it to give it more 

dimension.  I added yellow to the dots and did the background in a shaded blue.  Then, I 

cut out the Zendala and the scalloped background with a die cut machine and mounted 

it on a yellow card base to make the yellow dots pop.

This is just something that I did to experiment with coloring with gel pens.  

I used a string but did not use my pen to outline most of it.

This is a Valentine swap that I did with one of the groups that I belong to.  

I hope you enjoy seeing my work.  Thank you for looking.  Please leave me a comment and
let me know that you were here.  I LOVE to get comments!  Thanks.

Till next time...

New Project

Hi all.  I worked on this ZIA for 4 days and finally finished it on Friday.  It was a lot of work and was the hardest one I have done, yet.  I am pretty happy with the way it turned out.  Hope you like it...

Till next time...
