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.

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.
Tuesday trying to work?!
So Red decides she needs a little attention (after being shut in the closet most of yesterday...not on purpose, but because she climbs up and hides on top of something, I don't see her and close the door to get the light off). Now, she's 'helping', right on top of a large 'learning' piece so I'm finishing up a 'betweed' experiment on the side. She hates the camera but hasn't yet figured out the doc camera.

Florz on Sunday
Hummmm, wanted more net. Getting ready for the MAVS to hopefully win against the Heat so I'm thinking NETS. Guess if I was thinking it more, I would have done more basketball-ish. As it is, just another experiment.
Saturday Striping before graduation
Hadn't meant to do a bee for striping but here it is. After I did this one, and I'm supposed to be experimenting, I decided to do another striping. Just to play with the twists and turns, shadows and highlights. So a Saturday a Striping I went:)

Friday's Printemps
I thought this one would be easy but it's turned out to be harder than I thought to shade it so it's got some pop to it. It's still just an experiment in variations of printtemps. I tried smaller circles, doing the highlight as I drew the circles, or not, using different pens (used .01, .03, .05 and .08) and filling in with black. I even did a couple of square circles. I think what will be really fun is when I start putting all the tiles together. Now that I've taken the picture, it looks like a finger and thumb and the thumb's exploded:)

Black and White
While waiting for files to upload, I played with an old piece of black bristol paper and white pen. The white pen is the Gelly roll medium. I hope I got more of them. There's no shading on this,. I guess I just really like black and white.
Knightsbridge, not my favorite knight
Here is Knightsbridge. Even tho' it's not my favorite, I am learning about shading and about lines and heavy black lines. I think the part I dislike the most is the flat square pieces. They're just flat. So, lesson learned.

Florz was next
Florz was next on my list of tangles to try and add variations to. I started with a ribbon type string, that part wasn't intentional, just seemed to be the squiggle of the day. I've always loved to draw/color/shade, but have severely gotten out of the habit/knowledge/and practice. I'm enjoying this so maybe this will get in back in practice. Don't think I could do an apple but am loving the tangles.
I've also just gotten a new document camera. It's an IPEVO 2 View and it's awesome. It has an auto adjust as well as set focus, can go full screen or not, take the little camera job off and wave it around of leave it on the arm and move it up, down and all around. It's SO much better than the Logitech that I have at school. It's also small and not in the way, but the picture quality is awesome. Just a heads up on a doc camera if anyone needs one.
