Christmas 2020

I was very very blessed [not sure I like that word, but couldn't think of another that would work] this year... These are the lovely goodies I received.. 

I won this set of pixels...

I love this metal sign and these fairy curtain lights will go up on my wall with a brindle cowhide I have.





























Valentangle 2020

This event took place February 1 - 14, 2020

Sadly I am way behind.  I was going to participate this year, but when I asked the coordinator some questions about what to expect, she was not very nice about it. so I chose not to participate.  I was really saddened that a person in that sort of position, could not be polite to a potential participant.

These are the tiles I have created for this event.
They will be made into a Bitty Bookz once I have them drawn.
The tiles are made from blank paper drink coasters which are colored with watercolors.
Let me tell you, watercolor is NOT EASY on these as they soak everything up immediately...
I had to keep going over them to get a bright color.
Then I gave them a spritz of homemade glimmer mist and sealed with Krylon Workable Fixatif so the glimmer mist spray would not damage my drawing pens.
For the edges I used Distress Oxide Ink In "Worn Lipstick"
The bottom photo might become part of the book cover, I am not completely decided yet, although I really do like it.  But since my choice between fabric and paper cover has not been decided, this one hangs in the balance.. lol 









AusTangles 2021

 I recently participated in the AusTangles 2021 Event on FB.  

The event took place from January 20th - January 31rst, 2021

There are fantastic bits of info about each tangle designer for the event.

The goal was to do a Zentangle a day for 12 days, the tangles were provided, and you could do them as you pleased. 

Here is My Bitty Bookz with my AusTangles.

The cover is a gorgeous cotton quilting fabric, and medium weight chipboard.  The spine is as well.  The Metal book plate is gorgeous and so easy to add.  Pages are Canson XL 140lb watercolor paper stenciled with an oxide ink pad.  The tangles are drawn on kraft colored cardstock from Michaels and I cannot tell you just how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE that cardstock.  It has a fantastic weight and texture, and the color is just perfect. 
Don't tell anyone, but I "might" have bought 24 packs of it.. lol   The last page has had pockets added with printouts of the prompts for each day.
