More Daily Journaling

-





















Not long ago I talked about daily journaling. Creative Crafty Friends gave the challenge to work in a journal each day, in whatever way you felt led. Some of the members are writing pages of their thoughts and activities. Mark and I are stay at home people with this Covid stuff going around and I mostly make art all day. Mark mostly plays with his dog, or works in the basement on 'guy' things, or watches sports. We don't go anywhere to 'do' anything. Except on Free Cake Day. Hahaha! So I am working with art and a few words. This was my page for January 23rd. I tangled the square tile after a Zoom class with Yvonne Westover. The tangle Avro was designed by Yvonne. It was fun and I actually think I could draw this again even though it looks complicated. Just one pattern did all that awesomeness. Those are gel prints in the background made with my gel printing plate from Gelli Arts. The little girl is a digital image I colored with Copics. 




















January 12th. All tiles in this post were tangled on Bristol Illustration paper from Hahnemühle. It is the perfect paper for tangling. Smooth and just the right weight. I am into Zetti art lately, so made a weird little girl with no body. Just legs. And it was Free Cake Day at Brookside Inn. That tells me this was a Tuesday. Damian has Customer Appreciation Day on Tuesdays and everyone who wants it gets a free slice of cake. And it is usually wonderful - now that we are out of pumpkin season. Ick!



















January 17th. I missed 5 of my daily days. Hahahaha! And that's ok. I was taking a class with Tracy Weinzapfel - the 5-Day Postcard Challenge. If you happened to sign up for that, the lessons on FB are only available until the end of the month. And since I was working on that class so hard (it was serious fun!) today I added some art pieces that were made by my dear friend Rachel Foster. She mailed me a whole package of happy mail! She is the best!




















January 20th, Inauguration Day. Enough said. I posted this on my personal wall on FB and got so many nasty comments and attacks on my friends that I had to delete it. I do not care who you voted for and I do not want to read any nasty comments about the election. Thank you. 





















And the last one for this post - January 22nd. Gel print in the background. I used bubblewrap to make it so cool. The tile is Bristol Illustration paper from Hahnemühle. The tangle is called Avro. It is the same pattern I used in that first photo. Just in reverse. From Yvonne Westover. And the little girl is another digital image I added color to. When I don't feel like drawing I color. 

Everyone have a great week!

    Excellent journal pages! I'm so tired of the antagonistic attitudes on both sides of the political situation. This is America. Everyone should be able to express their opinion without abuse.

    I'm sorry you had to remove your post - such a pity when that happens. I do like that yellow & green tangled tile on the second spread. Again it's those white highlights that really add such dimension.
    I'm back on full furlough after Saturday. Hoping to get a colouring course done. Take care with the snow.

Dream It and Do It!

  If you can dream it - you can do it! Wise words to remember and live by. Quick post here just to share this daily journal page I made a few days ago AND to give you some news about the new book. First though - this journal page.  Like always I am working in my Harmony hot pressed journal from Hahnemühle . I love it. Sometimes I do one day on a page like this one. Sometimes I split the page in half and use it for two days. The little Hedwig-Gryffindor-wannabe is a drawing by Chris Ryniak that I colored to look like a Harry Potter character - Hedwig, Harry's owl. The background is bits and pieces of scraps from a number of projects. Some of the tangled blocks are from Octangling this past year and one is from a page I made for the Tangle It! Coloring Book several years ago.  Tangle All Around: Our Art, Our Journey is already available at these Amazon locations online. Amazon.in  and amazon.nl carries it as well since I saved this screen shot.  Ta-da!!! Thank you so much to eve

Tangled Dragonflies All Around

What do steampunk and dragonflies have in common? Tangle All Around! Hahaha! My tangling Facebook group called Tangle All Around is providing the art today. In June and July we are working with patterns that go well with steampunk art. Don't like steampunk? That's alright, too. These patterns will work in your regular tangle routine as well.  I provided a dragonfly template to the group and asked them to tangle it using any of the steampunk patterns they wanted to and I welcomed them to use any other tangles they needed. This is the dragonfly I made using some of the patterns from week one. This is the template I gave the group. Some people printed it out and tangled, and some people free-handed the template and went from there. Let me show you the beautiful art my talented group made. You can click on any of the photos to see them larger.  Artist is Aga Forra.  Artist as Amy Heather.  Artist is Ana Maria Migone.  Artist is Anita Sinha.  Artist is Betsy Ritz-Frith.  Artist is B

Octangling, 2020 Has Begun

  That post title is a way hopeful statement. Hahahahahaha! I haven't even started my first day tile yet and the day is over half way done. I have too many things I am trying to do all at once. But. Octangling for this year has begun in my Facebook group Tangle All Around . And I am already seeing some lovely pieces of art! You may be asking . . . what is Octangling. I am glad you asked. There is a young man who started an event years ago he dubbed Inktober. Every October he encourages people like you and me to draw something every day during the month. Nothing fancy, nothing we can't all do. And he gives a prompt for each day to give you an idea of what to draw. Our FB group has participated the past 3 years using a list of tangles I give them. This year I hesitate to use his name for the project because he is suing a lot of people and companies for selling pieces of art they made during his monthlong project. So. No more using that name, tanglers. From here on out we are call
