Footprints

Another success! And! I made a new pattern that was inspired by the Squirt soda logo. It's at the ball of the upper foot. I love it! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Oranges to Oranges...

This makes me giggle every time I see it! My DVD Math teacher (I'm homeschooled, can't remember if I put that in my self-description) , Paul Ziggler of Systematic Mathematics says when you're learned to add and subract fractions, "You can only add and subtract like things: Apples to apples, oranges to oranges, bananas to bananas, and hippopotamuses to hippopotamuses!" That quote will stay with me for the rest of my life. It's very moving. And I think of it every time I play this game.

Waiting for the Rainbow

Do you like my more dramatic title? Uber success! I'm so happy with this one! I really didn't think it was going to turn out til I shaded it. A huge step up from my last zentangle.

Pencil

This is my second entry in my new zentangle book and I'm afraid it fell well beneath the par. But I do really like the peacock feather at the top. Thanks Molossus!

Bunny?

Also on the art club field trip, we ate at Bananzas (which wasn't all that it was cracked up to be in my most humble opinion) where they had vending machines! My favorite! So there were little critters and I simply had to have one. When I first got this little guy, I (and many others) honestly thought it was some mutant dog with buck teeth, but the fluffy tail cleared that up.

Dice

I went on an art club field trip and along with visiting colleges and art shows, we also stopped at the well-loved, Hobby Lobby where I bought these awesome beads (that I still have yet to use) and two .005 Micron pens with which I used to draw this picture. Love Hobby Lobby!

Pocket Watch

I used a small paperback book that about...uh...6x5, gessoed, it and started with the fun! This is my first entry in it and I think it's a good sign :D

Stained Glass Windows

Does it show how vain you are if you hate to see your cards packaged in the mail going to someone whom you're sure won't appreciate as much as you do? This is a hypothetical situation, of course. I would never think such a thing. Ever. Ever...yeah.

Moving on! I had so much fun with this trade and I can't wait to sign up for another one!
