Hi all.  It has been a while since I have posted so I thought I would show some of my latest work...

This is my latest Zen Gem.

I am doing a butterfly festival in October so I have been 

making a lot of butterfly cards and Zentangles.  I have added

some gems in the circles.

This is a fancy cross that I did, also with gems.

This gem is a brown turquoise pin that my

grandmother left for me many years ago.  

I used Prisma color pencils to make it look

so realistic.

This is a tile that I made for our monthly Zentangle

club.  We were to use certain tangles.

That's all I have to show right now.  Please be sure to leave a message so 

that I will know that you were here!  Thanks.

Till next time...

I've Been Published!

I am very excited to tell you that one of my very own patterns has been published in tanglepatterns.com.  I submitted it and it was published within a few days.  I am posting it below...

Check out the Tangle Patterns website above to see how it came about.

Below are some of the things that I have been working on...

 Some Zem Gems

 This is a Zen Gem bracelet that I made in to a birthday card.

This was a project that we did in our Zentangle club.  We laid down Washi tape and used it as our string and tangled in it.

I am working on a lot of things at the moment but I have been very busy with Dr. appointments and other stuff. 

Stay tuned because I will have more projects and possibly another pattern.

Diva Challenge, More ZenGems

Hi all.  Today, I decided to enter the Diva's Challenge #252.  It has been quite a while since I entered one of her challenges, but I like this one a lot so I decided to enter.  The challenge was to draw an oversized tangle to use as the string and then tangle in the tangle.  I chose to do Hollibaugh as my string/tangle and used several different tangles within.  I don't actually remember the names of all of the tangles that I used but I don't think that is really an issue.  If it is, I am sorry.  I just used what I felt would fit the string.

Here are some more things that I have been working on...

Some Zen Gems...

The tangles used for the tile below are Arukas on the top, Jetties 

on the left, Rick's Paradox on the right and Beadline on the bottom.

Thanks for looking.  Please leave a comment so I know that you were here.  I would

love to hear from you!  :-)

Till next time...

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.
