Silk zentangled scarf

This weeks project was tangling on silk. The quantity of resist is hard to control. And some of the dye colors dry faster than others so getting a change in color by adding water is a learning experience. I need to order some of the metal tips from dharma trading co to control resist better. Then, the lines would be smoother and wouldn't be able to feel them.

End of school year

Another year has come and gone. This year went faster than others, and like its said, they just keep going faster every year. Not quite done with this tangle, going to add color and more shading but wanted to document where it was before I add color. Some times I think I ruin them with color.

For Audrey

Here is the zentangle I made for Audrey. Audrey has been my student for 2 years. Last year in graphic design and photography, and this year in my advanced class. Audrey is a quadriplegic.  She works twice as hard as any student in my class and is always willing to try. She loves Pinterest and is working on publishing her creations to her Wordpress site. 

One thing I've learned working with Audrey, is she is intelligent, creative and loves to have fun. But, without an aide or someone to assist her in staying current in technology, she will languish, probably at home, loosing all the abilities she has worked so hard to master. 

Here's to Audrey and the pray someone becomes her advocate and encourages her continued growth.

The bumpy ride home.

Returned to Texas on Monday as Oklahoma was getting hurt so bad with tornados. The ride was bumpy but no issues, just a packed plane. Here's the completed zentangle I started on the flight to Boston.

Combo boots and frames

I love country outfitter boot ads on Facebook. Couldn't afford them but I keep seeing the wings and cross design. I like Maria Thomas framing, so thought I'd try a combo. I can't do straight so my wings and things always are lopsided.

From the weekend

Last weekend, I was pretty anxious so I spent some quality time tangling. Had some fun sticking some silly animals in the tangles.

Saturday tangling

Having fun with adding a stray cat, cow or critter. Relaxing Saturday, distressing and trying new drawing techniques combined with zentangle.

Art therapy mandala

I've found a site, it's on my Pinterest.com/sthillen page about art therapy. First one I read was about doing a mandala. Guess this one just confirms what I've always known, I can't color within the lines, and am not symmetrical! Still needs shading.
