Bejeweled Hurry and Marasu

Daily meditation with the Art Raffle gave me 3 different strings. I figured: why not? I used Marasu, Peanuckle (both Zentangle), Bownus (Angie Gittles) and Bejeweled Hurry (my own tangleation of Hurry).

Another Shaded Tile

Still enjoying shading, shading. Another blended tangles shaded tile - love how the piece looks like terrain that moves and ripples.

Shading Blended Tangles

This morning I taught an Art Club live class on how to shade blended tangles. Clubbers brought the line-art they had completed in a previous class and we spent the whole class shading!

Blending Tangles Class

Yesterday I taught an Art Club live class on blending tangles. A super fun technique for people who love curvy lines, where one tangle melts into the next one.

Where do these dreams come from? Beats me, they are just fun to draw and to look at.

Lollywimple and Distress

Ok, since I really botched Lollywimple (deconstructed by Sandy Hunter here) the first time around, I figured I'd try again. Still playing with the Distress inks and markers:

The end opens the start

Celebrating the year that is gone and the one that is starting now. In retrospect, what happened in 2016 for me? Many things came to an end, and that opened doors for new beginnings. I closed for good my site Jewelrylessons.com, and moved away from West Los Angeles after living there for over 20 years.
