2016

What is in the stars for 2016?

This year if I feel as though I'm running around in circles, I'm going to stop and remind myself how sparkly my life is. I will find a gem in everyday to be grateful for. There will be star moments to treasure, festivities to celebrate and seeds of joy to gather and sow. Yes, there will be times of dark and shade to cope with, that's life. My wish is to be able to adjust the shading so life becomes lighter and brighter at dullish times.

No doubt there will be days suited for plain beads, days for snazzy beads, days for shiny gems, there will be dark nights and sparkly starry nights!

May your year be light and bright and wear your beads with style and a smile.

The Gift of Zentangle

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #248: "Give the Gift of Zentangle" 

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

who leave a comment.

African Artist

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #247: "UMT: African Artist by Tina-Akua Hunziker, CZT"

African artist is a fantastic tangle for that lovely squishy bulgy effect. My intention was to bring out the beautiful African colours but I think it has turned into more of a Christmas design!

Trees

The Diva's Weekly Challenge #246: "Guest Post: Monotangle Trees"

Dilip Patel from India is spreading the word about planting trees and caring for our environment so tangling a tree is our challenge for this week.  
Good one Dilip!!
You can see Dilip's fantastic range of Zentangle art at his blog here where he often shares a thoughtful message through his drawing.

Whew, the wind is blowing this old tree!! 

It is very dry at our place already and summer has just begun. When I drive up the hill to our home this beautiful Eucalyptus comes into view, standing straight and tall at the top of our driveway, it is always a lovely sight especially when the sun is setting.
