PAGES FROM MY ZENTANGLE JOURNAL

It's a lazy summer day in February here in Naples, Florida.  The thermometer says 80 degrees.  There are deep blue skies and the palm trees are swaying in the balmy breeze.  It's one of those days that it feels good just to be alive. Truly paradise!  I haven't been posting the tangles I've been doing in my zentangle® journal for a very long time, so I thought today might be a good day to catch up on it, but first a picture of my little Gemma catching the breeze on her favorite resting place beside the front window.

Have a great day and happy tangling!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

I hope everyone has a lovely Valentine's Day!  May it be filled with lots of love and chocolate!!

Peace and Love Always...

DIVA WEEKLY CHALLENGE #57

In this week's Diva Weekly Challenge more info here Laura challenged us to use the tangle "Sanibelle", one of my favorites because I live near Sanibel Island, FL, often called the shelling capital of the world.  We take our dog to run on the beaches there frequently.  I just happened to be catching up in my copy of Carole Ohl's "Tangle-A-Day" calendar and was coincidentally was using Sanibelle in the ZIA I was doing at the time that I read Laura's challenge.  So, here is a chance to see what Carole's wonderful calendar looks like if you don't already have one yourself and this is my challenge entry for week #57...

Thanks for looking in!

TANGLE-A-DAY CALENDAR

Fellow CZT, Carole Ohl, has created a wonderful calendar for 2012. It is in book form with three days on every page and a box for each day to write and/or tangle in.  I got a late start on mine, so I've been playing catch-up during the month of January.  


I highly recommend Carole Ohl's "Tangle A Day Calendar".  There are many ways to use it and the paper works very well with Micron pens for tangling with no bleed through to the back of the page you're working on.  It's also a dream to shade or color with pencil and/or colored pencils.  And, of course, it can be used as a regular daily date book, as well with many examples of Carole's beautiful tangles.  She has also set up a FaceBook page here and Flicker page here to see other people's finished calendar pages and you can post your own in both, also.  To learn more about Carole, the calendar and to see her other beautiful zentangle® work please go to her blog:  Open Seed Arts  I know you'll be very glad you did.


I'm pretty well caught up with the entire month now.  Here is what I've done so far....

This last photo is an example of one of Carole's tangles combined with my own "inapod' pattern.  It gives you a chance to see what the calendar itself looks like.  Thanks for looking in and I hope you'll consider purchasing this calendar if not this year maybe next year, or perhaps tangling on a calendar of your own.
