Tangy Zoodle #107 (or the Big Project)

Tangy Zoodle #107 - on canvas - 30"x40"

Yes! It's finished! The project upon which I've been working for my mother for a number of months now is finally completed and I feel pretty happy about it. I've enjoyed working on it and I've learned a lot from doing this and I hope to create more large pieces like this. Well, maybe not quite this large. This canvas measures 30" x 40".

Before I proceed with more large Tangy Zoodles, though, I need to finish the Secret Project, which I've been working on for years. I just can't allow myself to get sidetracked anymore.

Kokeshi Dolls

"Kokeshi Dolls" - Tangy Zoodle #106

While giving an art lesson last week, I discovered Kokeshi dolls at the home of my student. While she created a serious drawing of these beautiful and whimsical delights, I couldn't keep myself from tangling them! What fun!

For me, this whole Zentangle adventure has just become more exciting. It's been a year and I'm still tangling! :D

My sister TAGG members all know that when I start making "pear" art, that I'm transitioning.

I'm still obsessed with the art form of Zentangle and am still learning new tangle patterns. I highly recommend tangling for anyone who loves drawing and/or wants to learn to draw or improve their drawing skills. These exercises have given me much greater confidence in my ability to make art.

News On The Big Picture

I have not given up on The Big Picture, which I've been working on for my mother. This project was derailed slightly while I worked on a smaller picture for her, but not work has continued. I'm still enjoying it and loving the challenge. Just today, she asked me if it would be ready by Christmas. "No promises," I told her. 

Sorry. My phone camera caught the glare. Hopefully I'll be able to get a well lit, perfect picture, when it's finished.

Tangy Zoodle Woven Throw Pillow

Click here or ordering info

Recently, my old friend, Tom Hurd, (no, he's not old, I've just known him for a long time) purchased my fairly newly designed Tangy Zoodle throw pillow. Because I haven't yet seen any of these pillows in person, I was so happy to hear from Tom about how much he likes it and to receive photos of how nicely it lends itself to his decor.

Thank you so much, Tom, for your purchase and sharing your photos with me. :D

Cherries On Gray

Look familiar? I love this design so much, I couldn't resist adding it to a few "household" items in "shop crabulous!" Here's the link if you want to take a look: crabulous fun for your home

November Image

Because I'm so tickled with the new calendar images, I just have to share another one. Who knew that my Tangy Zoodles would blend so well with my Bomomos? I'm encouraged to have even more fun with them when I get a moment.
