When I first started tangling I often called tiles little gems and now thanks to a fantastic FaceBook group hosted by Eni Oken I have learnt to make gemstones.
You can find Eni's site here Eni Oken.com
This week we heard the sad news that our lovely friend Sharon Lynne Payne (CZT7) suffered a nasty stroke.
This amethyst gemstone tile is my gift of Zentangle to Sharon.
It has been mailed with hugs and love for her quick recovery.
The next tiles I wish to gift to three happy tanglers

Oh my! Sorry to hear about your friend. I must go and learn to make theses luminous gems as well! Your work is always so lovely, thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI am also sorry to hear about your friend. Your gems are just so wonderful - it's as if they are shining with light coming from behind them. Beautiful work as always Michele. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
DeleteI hope Zentangle is a 'happy place' for your friend to 'visit' during her recovery. Your gems are just that. As always your art is very inspiring......I will not let zengems defeat me!
ReplyDeleteHave so loved your style, Shelly! I haven't quite found mine yet but you are one of the inspirational tanglers that I learn from!
ReplyDeleteYour gems are absolutely gorgeous! Your art is so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSensational style. : )
ReplyDeleteLovely pieces! I especially like the variety of gems and the use of Mooka on the middle piece. Radiant!
ReplyDeleteI pray your friend Sharon recovers fully and quickly so she can get back to tangling again.
ReplyDeleteWOW I am SO impressed with your gem stones - can't believe how realistic they look. Love the 3 colours together especially.
Like you, a friend of mine (67) suffered a very nasty stroke some weeks ago and you can not really understand yourself how it must be to become totally depending on others from being a strong, sportive woman all your life.
ReplyDeleteYour card for Sharon is beautiful and so are the others. I do have a favorite and that's the last one.
Happy Christmas and Blessed Be!
Your tangled gems are beautiful. I hope that all the love that is reaching Sharon from around the Zentangle world will help with a speedy recovery. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteOh these are beautiful and so inspiring.

ReplyDeleteThese are simply amazing, and what a beautiful gift to give your friend who is so unwell. Your art is so inspiring, and as a beginner, I know it will continue to be a constant guide for me as I attempt to teach myself how to do Zentangle. I hope to be able to afford a kit in the New Year, and then watch out world! I can't draw to save myself, but I've been told that doesn't matter with Zentangle, so I'm about to find out if that is true. Thanks for all your helpful advice, and I look forward to visiting your site often to see what you have to share with us all.
