Pearls

February 18, 2011

I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls off a string. ~ Lucy Maud Montgomery

What a wonderful tangled string of pearls! I love the under/overs and the light glints on the striped coil. Beauty!

Zentangle

What is a Zentangle? In a word, a doodle. A structured, contained doodle. The term 'Zentangle' was coined by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas when, one day, Maria described her experience, as she created her art, as "feeling timeless, free and engendering a sense of deep well-being". Rick recognised that she was in a meditative state and so […]

Textile Art, Fabric Art & Art Quilts

Mixed media art is all the rage these days. We've all been gessoing, altering, collaging, stamping, crayoning and painting like crazy things. The next step on from those typical media and materials is sewing. I've resisted as long as I've been able to, but I too have been sucked into the tactile, colorful, sparkly world of textiles, embroidery […]

Hairy Men are Gorgeous!

Hairy Men are Gorgeous! Humans are covered with hair, even the most fair-haired, pixie-like person has body hair unless they are suffering from a medical condition. Androgenic hair (hair that appears post-puberty) is due to the male hormones present in both men and women. Men have more of these hormones (yes, really) so are generally hairier. So one could as […]

Zentangle Workshop

Welcome to my zendoodle workshop. What's a zendoodle? Well, it is a drawing created by filling pre-defined spaces with repeated patterns. Some people call them Zentangles but this workshop is not connected to the Zentangle(R) method taught by Rick and Maria of Zentangle.com. I am not a certified Zentangle teacher (CZT) so this workshop is just a guide a […]

The Doodle

Whatever you call it, in essence it's 'doodling with intent'. As opposed to doodling while on the telephone. Doodling with intent is making patterns on paper in order to have an end result; a piece of artwork. It is also used to facilitate an 'active meditation'. In other words, it is the kind of activity that allows you to disengage […]

Zentangle Patterns

How do you find Zentangle inspiration? Well, one way is to scour the internet and look at what other artists are doing. I do that all the time. However, there are Zentangles all around you. Where? Let me show you. Images on this page are copyright and not to be used without permission. The Zentangle® art form and method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria […]

Zentangles: Examples, Ideas and Materials

Since my first Zentangle page has become fairly popular despite being a bit unwieldy, it occurred to me that many visitors were possibly looking for something more than just the basics. So I set about creating several slightly complex pieces, hopefully to inspire you to do the same. Zentangles don't have to be restricted to 3.5"x3.5" squares; […]

Traditional Welsh Food

Often when people think of Wales, they are reminded of mountains and Welsh Male Voice Choirs and railway stations with unpronounceable names. Yep, I can say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. However, it often takes a little while before visitors realise that Wales has a deep-rooted culinary tradition all of its own. Many dishes are […]

Storage for Lego

One of the problems of having a son with a Lego obsession is finding good storage solutions. My son and I have endless... er... chats about how he should store his Legos. We tried many ways to solve the problem but somehow they still ended up on the floor! I have reached the conclusion that all I can do is provide the storage and hope that he will discover t […]

Love Your Grey Hair | Gray is the New Blonde

How we resist our natural gray locks. We moan and groan about the silver hairs which peep through the glossy brunette (or red or blond or whatever is our natural hair color) as a sign of encroaching maturity. A reminder that we all, if we're lucky, will eventually succumb to old age. Most of us panic and reach for the dye. We go for streaks and tints - […]

Signs Of The Zodiac: Capricorn

This lens will be focusing on Capricorns. I am a Capricorn myself so naturally I want to focus on all the great attributes of Capricorns and maybe some of their (very few) negative traits as well. I hope you enjoy reading about my sign and I hope you will visit my other pages too. I was born on December 28th and so was my little sister 11 years after me. It […]

Zentangle Blogs

There are so many wonderful Zentangle artists around and they are very generous in sharing their art. I am making this collection for my own benefit... it's my easily accessible pathway to inspiration when I am bereft of ideas. They were going into a boring old bookmark folder when I thought I may as well put them on a lens to share with anyone who care […]

Best Zentangle Books

If you are a book artist, an art journaler or a doodler, you have surely tripped over a Zentangle(R) by now. Zentangles, sometimes known as Zendoodles, are a form of active meditation created by filling a pre-drawn line or 'string' with patterns called 'tangles'. They are simple and very relaxing to do and you don't have to be an art […]

Writer's Software/Resources

As a writer of articles, short stories, a WIP novel, various blogs, journals and, of course, a Squidoo lensmistress, I like to use tools to help organise ideas and writing. Over the years I have collected several.... well, no, make that quite a lot, software applications geared towards writers. Some of them are good, most of them I never use but one or two r […]

Zentangle Links

Zentangles are becoming really popular in the art world - they are spreading their tentacles and curlicues far and wide thanks to the internet and lots of creative people. However, you don't have to be an artist to create these varied and complicated-looking doodles. I have gathered a selection of links and resources for you to enjoy and, hopefully, enc […]

Junk Journal

What exactly is a "junk journal"? It might be easier to start with what it isn't. It's not a regular journal. It's not exactly an art journal either. It's not a scrapbook or a photo album. It isn't an altered book. However, it can be, or have, elements of all those things. This journal is a 'junk journal' because […]

Knitting Socks - Free Patterns

I never knew how it felt to wear hand knitted socks until last year when I finally got round to knitting myself a pair. I only wish I'd made the discovery years ago! Long ago I used to knit and then I stopped and didn't pick up a pair of knitting needles for over 20 years. Then I picked up two pairs and began to learn how to knit socks. That's […]

It's time to treat someone special to a really unique gift. Something which they will treasure for a lifetime. These beautiful handmade leather journals are the perfect gift for any occasion. They are also the perfect gift for yourself. Keeping a journal has become very fashionable in the last few years. Perhaps it's because we are seeking an antid […]
