All tangled up

I made this silly discovery - Zentangles! The site I stumbled upon a few days ago is http://www.zentangle.com/ . I have been trying to do a little everyday, along with all my other bits I try to squeeze in! There are some interesting sites about this technique -Tangle Patterns and Open Seed. Some stuff is pretty good. I've been keeping a little book with patterns. I only have a few so far but after having drawn up 6, I made an attempt at a 'tangle' Well, we had a rousing discussion at Art Journalling class tonight about Zentangles. Pretty funny! Here are some shots of what I am talking about..

It's fun and passes the time when I'm on the phone. Not sure not how long this will last because I got my new sketch book from RedBow tonight. So excited!!!

Forget being organized

That Moleskine weekly calendar didn't work out so now I'm using for sketching and ideas. LOL! I had good intentions of getting things organized but in the end, as with everything, I ended up drawing and doodling all over it. Haha!

We celebrated Joe and Dad's birthday yesterday and we all had a good time at Mom and Dad's, as usual! I took the boys and Emily to see "Rango" at the movies and it was a cute one. Not something I'd see again but still entertaining.

Keeping busy

Well, I've finally done it. I have got myself an Etsy shop, up and running. I am pretty excited about it and trying to learn the ins and outs of it. Here is my banner. I finally created it, not entirely to my liking but there is something in the spot for now :)

So far I have ACEOs on the shop and plan to add some 4x6 paintings and greeting cards.. A little at a time. The link is www.etsy.com/shop/WeThree I was also included in a few treasuries, which is so exciting for me. I have been trying to keep on with my journaling and did a little sketch while Mom T. was in the hospital. Poor thing had a quadruple bypass. She's in rehab and mending beautifully, thank God. She is in the facility my sister works at, and is in Jen's unit.

I saw this quote and was inspired to illustrate it.

Fun stuff.
