New Challenges

Personal Challenge
Well, I scrapped my website. (Sorry for any complications you may have encountered when viewing my first challenge entry from azzarellostudio.com). The ISP was working great until I started actually started using it for my blog. Then the server was down 90% of the time and I couldn't edit pages or approve comments. So I have switched to a Blogger site - live and learn. BTW, azzarellostudio.com is no longer in service... maybe someday I will face that challenge again. The good news is, I am saving $120 per year on web services! Time to buy more pens and paper :-)

The Bright Owl: Zendala Dare #88
This zendala immediately made me think nautical thoughts. The funny thing is, once I finished tangling I could only think of flowers. Thanks to Erin @ The Bright Owl for this fantastic template!

I used Sakura Gelly Roll pens for the color. And of course, I am terrible at naming tangles so I have no idea what these are called (if they have a name at all).

And Randomness...

Be Inspired. Be Free. Be Creative.

And it begins

This past Christmas I received a few books on Zentangle(R).  I am hooked... Every night I grab my pens and sketchbook for an hour long doodle session.

I have always been a crafty person. And a doodler. Thanks to the supportive community on the internet, I have  discovered the combination of both practices. My current goal is to tangle a pair of canvas shoes and create a Valentine canvas.

To date the only "project" I have is our 2014 memory journal. And a few other ATC sized cards. More to come, but this is my first post of randomness.

I hope you find inspiration in my doodles.
