RECTANGLE ZENTANGLE

Sorry about the very grainy and blurry photo - but that is the best I could do right now in
my puter room - there is no light - it is driving me nuts.....
anyway - I just wanted to try out a zentangle in the shape of a rectangle - It is
different from my usual ones - always trying something new...!
I think tho that I do prefer the circle (mandalas) shape and the hand shape...
I feel more creative with those shapes.But the one above was fun to make - and got me thinking of other shapes and such
so it was a successful creative session for me.
Thanks for stopping by and checking things out....
Until Next Time ..... Create For The Fun Of It~!~

BUNCHED ZENTANGLE

More Zentangles - I just wanted to "experiment" with zentangles intentionally started
a certain way - the outline.......I like the way it turned out - not as much
a surprise to me the way it came together because it was planned---do you know
what I mean?
The piece above was not formed by just free flowing lines and then me looking
at it to see what shapes I notice and how to start---this one was planned...and
it took me longer to do - hmmmmm---I wonder if that is connected in some way.
I tried to trim off the photo of all the extra in it - so that you can get a close look
at the piece but my psp kept crashing (which is typical of windows vista)..but hopefully
you can see all you want of it.
Well - off to doodle some more - and how are your creative juices doing?
PEACE & HAPPY CREATING~!~

DETAILED ZENTANGLES - LAST DAY

I MADE IT!!!!
A whole month of creating and writing about it - WOW!!!
This really has been quite theraputic for me - I feel like I have accomplished
something positive and good. For me - that is major!!
I have met some awesome peeps during this past month--absolutely
supportive and just plain nice - WOW - I am blessed.
I plan on continuing my zentangle projects and my hand project--so keep on
coming back and take a peek what I am up to--
you might be surprised.....lol.
Here a few pics of my most recent creations:


This one-to me-looks like a ribbon that has different ornaments or
such hanging from it - I like the way it turned out--
I think one of the ornaments is looking at me!!



This is my newest hand project zentangle--much more detailed--
took me a bit longer to complete but to me worth it.
I thought it turned out really nice - just staring at it from a bit of a distance
and the coolest images come to life.
The pic below is a closer look at some of the details--

Well I just want to say THANK YOU ALL for coming by and being
so supportive and leaving such encouraging words - you have
made my life so much more richer.
Have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!
PEACE~!~

ZENTANGLE-PRACTICE SAMPLE

WOW - tomorrow is the last day of AEDM and NABLOPOMO....I cannot believe
that a whole month has gone by so quickly---it has been an amazing month-
Today I am going to show you one of the zentangles that I did for practice--trying to
figure out how I was going to do things and such...so here is my practice one:

It is not anything fancy - I just wanted to see what different line doodles would
look like ---everything is kind of giant in size but at least you can see where
I started from and where it has taken me---
tomorrow I will be uploading a hand zentangle that I think looks awesome--
it is much more detailed -
NOW---I have been asked some questions so I thought I would answer them
here and now---I did not take lessons to learn about zentangles - I saw
some examples and read about it being a new artform and I was instantly hooked.
I am teaching myself through trial and error - there really is no wrong way because
it is just doodling - and art is so open to interpretation--it can be anyway you want.
I did not buy anything to do them--I have a fine point sharpie marker/pen that does
not bleed through the paper and that is it....no special equipment - actually I think
the practice one above was partly done with a gel black pen - until I found my
sharpie--so there truly is nothing special to buy.
I have always enjoyed doodling - like when you are talking on the phone
and you just start to doodle and make shapes and such - well that is where I
started from and I am slowly expanding what I can do.
I made this process easy since it is all new--I just wanted to have fun -
I am kind of glad I did not take lessons or anything because I feel
like there are no rules or boundaries and that I like~~
I hope this answers some of your questions---thanks for stopping by - I appreciate
your support and kind words!
PEACE and HAPPY CREATING~!~

MANDALA 1128

It is extremely chilly here - so cold that we have space heaters on -
that is cold for Florida.
As soon as I am done uploading my newest art piece - I plan on going back
to my recliner and snuggling with the dogs and watching some great
college football -
Here is my first true mandala - in black and white!

I like the way this one came out - love the look of black and white--
still learning - trial by error - but really am enjoying myself.
You can never go wrong doodling - you just have to feel comfortable with
what you are doodling--if it feels good then it is right.
So what do you see in this one?
Thanks for all of your encouraging comments - I so appreciate it!
Your supportive words are what kept me going this month!
PEACE and HAPPY CREATING~!~

ALONE - ATC CARD

WOW - I am so late getting this entry up -
Just feeling a bit under the weather - kind of dragging...but
truly I am ok - just so tired - maybe my body is trying to tell me something.
I just could not skip a day of posting so here is my newest piece:


This one is a work in progress - I am still searching for a quote or some
element to make it feel complete to me... but I thought I would
share it until something inspirational hits me about it...
I love the Black and white look of it and the hint of red...and her little wagon - LOL
Well I just wanted to share something with all you wonderful peeps--
Thanks for stopping by.
PEACE and HAPPY CREATING~!~

BLACK AND WHITE

I intentionally worked in black and white for a challenge from HANDMADE MONDAY.
The prompt was the color white...so the two kaleidoscopes are for my entries
in it!!
I think black is the strongest way to show white off and make it pop.
I really like the above entry - almost looks like a sand dollar that you find on a beach.
I also like the little star in the middle and what looks like a few hearts on the outside.

The next one I put more emphasis on the white...

Again the star in the middle surprises me - have no idea how that occurred.
It is soft on the eyes...almost like a flower opening up...I like the way
the orbit lines on the outside came out...all different hues of white/grey...
so that is my entry for HANDMADE MONDAY...
It was a blast.
Thanks for stopping by and Looking!!!!
