The little black-hole-ish things look like open mouths to me. Their tongues stick out with tastebuds on the edge! Don't see it? But they're eating the leaves. They're eating...the leaves...you don't see it? But, they're...nevermind.

"AAAAAGH!!" That's what comes to mind as I remember drawing this tangle. The feather never stopped cruelly taunting me with its difficulty. Do you know how hard it is?? Try it. I dare you. I double-dog dare you.

In one ear and out the other

Drawing this tangle made me dizzy.

...lookin for fun and feelin groovy

One of my favorite songs by Simon and Garfunkel.

I've lost my marbles

Have you seen the movie, Hook? With Robin Williams? And Tootles goes around on his hands and knees "looking for his marbles"?

[Pointy] things go [poke] in the night

This one took for-e-ver...for-e-ver...for-e-ver......Has anyone seen the Sandlot or do I just look like a doofus right now?

Chopsticks

I love chopsticks. If I could eat soup with chopsticks, I would! So when i saw a beautiful wooden set at the kitchen kitchen store...I had to have them. Just had to.

But all she had was a bit of Raspberry Cordial... - Anne Shirley

Anne of Green Gables has always been one of my favorites and she's just so funny! Anyway, the song in this tangle that I've quoted is my newest favorite! It's called Countdown by Josh Preston and I got it free off Amazon. It's kinda a silly song in that I don't actually know what it's talking about....but it's pretty :)

Pearls in the Leaves

I made this tangle on my mission trip to Mississippi to help rebuild houses for Katrina victims. I learned how install laminate and linoleum flooring! I was the woman with the utility knife ,which is now on my Christmas list, along with a table saw...

Raindrops keep fallin on my head

I love it when I Zentangle every where I go. With this tangle I was in a coffee shop and it makes it feel like something out of a book.

Peppermint

We have a saying in my house, "If someone offers you a breath mint, never refuse. Someone might be trying to tell you something."

"Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity." - Michael Gelb

Finally finished a tangle that I've been working on over a week, this morning!

Love's a weed, trust is rain - The Weepies

The Weepies are my favorite music group (that's alive). I have to clarify that, otherwise Frank Sinatra takes the hat. I used my favorite quote from their song "Takes So Long".

Zentangle Date with Dawn

Friday, my mom and I had a date at the local diner with Dawn and finally started teaching her how to Zentangle!! It was a very exciting moment. I started this tangle that evening and just finished it this afternoon. Didn't think I was going to like it, but I'm fairly pleased.

Goal 1: Teach Dawn to Zentangle ☑
Goal 2: See Dawn make a complete tangle ☐
Goal 3: Get Dawn a scanner ☐
Goal 4: Start up her own art blog ☐

First Entry in a New Book. Always makes me smile!

My friend, Dawn, gave me this cute little book last summer on our way to Mississippi. We were supposed to teach her how to Zentangle...but it turns out that there's very little time for art on a mission trip. My mom managed to turn something out everyday, and I'm just in awe.

Anyway, this is my very first entry in a book that I've had since summer. I love it! I love starting new books.

Meet my biggest fan

I've been studying a martial arts called Son Shield Kenpo for almost 4 years. Let's say 3 1/2 to be safe. After you get up into the intermediate ranks, you get to choose a weapon and mine is the Chinese fighting fan. I know it sounds super duper girly but I wouldn't want to fight anybody who knew how to use a pair 'a those.

Walk a mile in their shoes...

Do ya kinda get that it's a boot? Cuz that's what I was going for but I'm not sure if I really got that across...

Put on your glasses, Shades. Give'm what they want.

Have you ever seen "That Thing You Do"? One of my favorite movies of aaaaaaaaaaall time. So many good lines come from that movie! It's just so funny!!! Anyway, I think of the drummer, "Shades" everytime I put my sun glasses on.

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.

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.
