Welcome to Fragment Friday. Another fun tangle time with Jennifer Cottrell at LOTUSblossom. Today's fragment was T7.
Today's fragment was T7. Very simple at first glance, but so many possibilities when you start to grid it out.
Check out Jennifer's site she has great inexpensive classes. Friday's tangle club is only $5.00!
Now off to the beach!
It is so awesome being retired. I have time to play along with different art challenges and projects. I signed up for the "5 Accordion Books in 5 Days" over at Vintage Page Designs. I have been itching to make some accordion books and would like to teach these in conjunction with my Zentangle.
The above picture is the book closed.
Second picture is the back of the book. I colored the book with distress inks using the smooshing technique.
The next picture is the inside of the book with the pockets and tags. All black and white elements is washi tape.
The last picture are the tags. All colored with distress inks too.
Stay tuned for more books.
Welcome to Tangle Tuesday. I am busy getting ready for week or so at the beach and wanted to share a Zentagle with you. The beauty of Zentangle is it can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. That is why it is so portable for trips. My kit will be a the beach with me!
Today's tangle was inspired a posting on FB. Of course, I was negligent and didn't get the artists name. The bright bold colors were so inspiring.
Here is the art work before adding color. The bold bright colors really make the piece pop!
I saw this awesome set from Concord and 9th and I was smitten! My bestie being the person she is surprised me with the complete set. I immediately made two cards one for my brother and this one for the husband- just because!
Cupcake Inspirations is having a challenge that asks for "frozen treats". I knew I had to play along. After all, I used to be on the CI team.
Head over to CI and see what the DT came up with and play along!

Hi there campers!! Welcome to Fragment Friday. Fragments are small tangles that fill a grid. When they complete the grid, you have a stunning pattern.
This is the fragment. How you put them together can influence the entire tile. I do have some wonky fragments that don't match up. But as we tanglers say- "there are no mistakes in Zentangle".
Here are some basic fragments. Come back next Friday for more fragment studies.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Tangle Tuesday. Every Tuesday I will post a new Zentangle that I have drawn.
For those who don't know, I received my Zentangle certification last April in Newport RI. I am busy setting up classes wherever someone wants me. Never did I think my "second" career would be as an art teacher! Way to put my Master's in Nursing education to work!!
My tangle today was based on this video by Eva Wu.
I hope you enjoy seeing something different from my stamping and cards. Let me know. I love to hear from you all!!

Hey I know a springtime card in the middle of summer!!! What's up with that huh?!!? I had this tulip stamp from Newton's Nook and I decided I wanted to use it. It needed some inky love. The "springtime" paper from NN was the perfect addition to this card.
