Color and new tangles from Sue

Trying out the sagura metallic colors on regular zentangle tiles and then a few of Sue's tangles. Started out with La Bel and added a few more. Unfortunately, I made my string to tight and the pretty loops are just too small, especially when I started adding in the black fill.

I don't think I've ever had an artform where I can continue to experiment, finish a piece (in a short amount of time) feel satisfaction and learning and still want to keep going. Zentangle is such a rewarding artform. I hope to share it more soon!

Quick post of some black and metallic pens

 I'm trying to convince my 2 year old grandson to wait a minute before we watch 'garbage trucks' on YouTube.

Lots of tangles, just nothing ready to post

Due to two wonderful, little gremlins running around my house, I'm not posting right now. Every once in a while I get to sit and tangle, but not very often. My awesome grandchildren will be here until the end of July. Sigh....not sure I can wait that long to tangle!

Boston, so much to see

Day six in Boston, going to take the Trolley around town today and see everything we've missed. We walked FOREVER on the Freedom Trail, but I think we still missed some of it. So, we'll try the trolley today. Everything about this town is awesome.

The Bruins won the Stanley Cup the first night we were here (Wed.) and have talked teamwork every day since then. Yesterday we went to the Red Sox game and the Bruins threw out the first pitch. I have to say I think this whole city is about teamwork. It's clean, it's safe, it's fun and it's got a LOT of personality.

If anyone is ever looking for a unique, not hot, vacation, consider Boston! The picture is from inside the State House on the Freedom Trail. Might try this as a new tangle.

Out the window. So many potential tangles

Rain, Rain, please come our way

It's hot, it's steamy, here's some rain, now we just need some of the real stuff. Didn't know so many things could be varied on some lines and zigzags.

Monday's poke root and poke leaf and the nine combined

Finally, one I really like. This is Poke Leaf (the leafy one) and poke root (not sure where the root is, looks like cherries to me)

Pulled out all of them I've done (not including the double practice ones) and laid them out to see what the 'nine' would look like.
