About Me

I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

BACK AGAIN

                    Here is my Zentangle first attempt  that has been keeping me calm...


A closer look....
and
                                     Certainly not perfect--but relaxing.....................

                         *********************************************************************** 
And.........Here is a fabric that I just received in the mail
 to use for someone special.....   
it's a secret project
so I cannot divulge much......


And 


here are some possible mock-ups for the front side 
pinned to my design wall.....thinking, thinking..












awfully darkish,
I think though I love
that Japanese wave pattern--it has
gold specks on the wave tops
(maybe it was "a dark and stormy night?");)))







But
This may be a bit better...or not????

I am still not happy with that bottom strip--although it does look like seaweed...
I just don't know....maybe I should do some
                                                                              "deep-sea-stash-diving"...lol

Hugs from Julierose (On the fence-euse)

NOTE added later on:  NOPE don't like either of those settings...just not "me" and
they don't feel right--oh well, back to the drawing board--ummm or design wall...

  1. Haha, zentangle would be the last thing I would do to 'calm' myself! Of course there's not an artistic bone in this body either. My hand quilting projects are my serenity.

  5. Oh gosh, I just tore a piece apart because it did not come together as I envisioned it. I guess that's how we grow. I was just looking at that sky fabric this morning thinking I wish I had some. I put it on a wish list. Great Zentangle. I tried it when it was the rage but I am just not THAT creative with pen and paper.

  8. Your zen looks great, but I think that would drive me crazy...giggle....or crazier.
