Zentangle #11 - life is a....

I have been doing a lot of thinking... found this quote:  Life is a journey not a destination - Cliff Nichols  It is true life is a journey and things happen for a reason, good, bad or indifferent. For Creative Everyday I was going to try and write a story with that being the theme for March and couldn't do it.  I am just not there yet.... not sure if I will ever write a story? Maybe I can tell one with my other creative outlets.... time will tell.  Thanks for looking have a great week.....

zentangle #10 and a new jounal

I woke up this morning and went into  my sewing room and started to work on a couple of new journal covers. One is a birthday present.... 

and the next one is my zentangle #10.... 

 this my new journal to write in.  Last year at this time I purchased the book the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and started a journal, following the book.  My Dad had a bad stroke so, i had to travel to California to see him and with traveling I brought my journal, drawing journal, pens etc.... well, someone took my bag with everything in it.  I was quite upset... tried to journal again but didn't feel right.  I even made a journal but things didn't flow the same. So now, I am ready to start a fresh... restart reading the book and doing a journal again (the writing kind).  I must say I was in my room until 2:00pm... I was staving (had not had anything but coffee) and really needed to go outside and trim my fruit trees... well finish my journal and pretty much all my fruit trees... (I should take a picture - one got a pretty good trim). 


I feel as though I am rambling.... if you get a chance you should visit the creative everyday link... Leah started a prompt for a story and it is pretty fun to read... thanks for looking! http://creativeeveryday.com/creativeeveryday/2010/03/a-story-experiment.html/comment-page-1#comment-14996
 

zentangle #9

Zentangle #9 for 2010... it seems like I should have more than 9 done for the year but, sometimes they take me a few days to get done. I am feeling very "slow" at being creative or should I say not focused.  I am unsettled and need to focus.  I think I should really focus on reading The Artist Way again and get past the first few chapters.... it may help.  Well, thanks for looking.... must get ready to go into work on a Saturday... (maybe that's my problem, to much work?) 

zentangle 2010 #8

Here is my zentangle #8 for 2010 and my 100th post..... This took me a few days to complete.  I like how this turned out and then of course I played around with it in Corel and came up with this...

I love how this turned out! What I love about doing these is they are not planned they just come out this way.... ummm I wonder what that means?  I guess maybe how crazy it has been with my daughter breaking her collar bone... and working.... you know life... Going to work on a journal cover for a birthday present, get ready to play a make-up game of darts (17 games... in a league) and then maybe start one making a pair of pants.... umm lots to do today...   thanks for looking and remember to spring your clock forward tonight!
