tangle*a*day calendar

I am an early riser. Just ask anyone who has ever roomed with me. I usually serve them coffee in bed but I digress. Morning is my quiet time to read emails, surf the web, read blogs and journey down rabbit holes. I also look for inspiration for my tangles.

I am now keeping a tangle*a*day calendar. I love this way of expressing myself on a small platform yet will be something to keep forever and pass on to the kids (if they want it). I figure I will be famous after I die and all my artwork will be worth millions! ROFLOL

Anyway here is what I've accomplished so far.

Jan 1
I tried out a tangle that I hadn't done before. Schway. I like this tangle because it made me think about how we look at the past yet look to the future. I like to move forward and grow. Learn how to draw Schway.

This morning I borrowed the leaf idea from Dover Publications. On Fridays they send out a sampler of downloads from several books. This is a free thing on their website that lets you sign up to receive. I looked at the details on one of the pages and saw the leaves. This is what I came up with.

Jan 2 inspiration!

I added shading with the Fabrico grey marker, used my Close to My Heart Watercolour Pencils and the rest is history.

I'm in the studio working on a dollhouse project today but will always find time to tangle, anytime, anywhere, anyhow!

Have a wonderful day and go create something.

A Colourful Challenge

I am an early riser. What can I say? Might as well get up and tangle for a while. And that's what I did since I already watched Downton Abbey last night. Good season opener. I didn't want to show the mess I created in the bathroom this morning I submit this tangle as my daily challenge to create something. Daily challenge for Monday I am still having trouble writing 2015 as you can tell by my signature. I need to go back and correct that to TY 15. I also did the challenge from I am the Diva . I had to use the tangle Hitch from HeidiSue. I also used another tangle from HeidiSue called Concert. Hitch within Hitch with Concert in the supporting section! I'm off to work on my tangle*a*day calendar . I am still working on Sundays picture so they might have to run together! Isn't that exciting! And I get to mail my little glitter swaps this morning. Back to the tea party Terri

Baby, it's cold outside!

Many of my friends are covered in snow and ice and tons of cold winter weather right now. I have lived all over the United States of America and I can honestly say been there, done that. I live in South Texas and we experience cold weather once in a while. Our winter's are mild and I've seen it snow here one time in 2004. That was wonderful! Snow fell over our city on Christmas Eve and everybody woke to a 6-10" snowfall. It was really nice because it was all gone by Christmas night. No dirty snow, no sludge, just beautiful! So far this winter we are having cold days more often. It has been in the lower to mid 40's, cloudy and windy. Sprinkle in a few days of weather in the 50's and sunshine just to get our hopes up for the 70 degree weather. But I like it! Today's high is 47, cloudy with 20mph winds out of the northeast. 60% chance of rain. I love it! So in honor of the cold winds blowing around me I played with a tutorial from A Little Lime . I love ...

Oh my nose!

I've been sick. I've been tangling to take my mind off being sick. Here are a few things I've been working on. I made a bookmark from the wrapper on a set of tiles. I traced some Bijou tiles and tangled a different design on each one. I've had a sinus infection and now I have dysosmia, everything smells the same and it's not a smell I enjoy. Hopefully it will go away soon. I'm getting ready to teach a Zendala class this weekend at the Art Center. Still have a few openings if you would like to join us.
