Im not real happy with how the photo of this page turned out.  There are a lot of different layers to her and they don't show up in the picture.

While I don't do zentangles the size and way they are supposed to be done... I love the doodling and it really helps to jump start me when I don't feel creative.

More of my art

I have been having fun creating my own art for my ATC's.  I would like to share some of my art on this site. I have one page of art that Im going to try to get made into stamps by an established company so I can't share that or any other art that I may decide to have made into stamps.  Please cross your fingers for me!  It would be so wonderful to see my art used by others

Life is a Roller Coaster!

With all the ups and downs we all get in life sometimes its hard to see all the good things around us!  God created a beautiful world for us to enjoy.  No matter how busy we become we should take at least few minutes out of our busy day to enjoy the beauty around us and thank God for everything that puts a smile on our faces!!!

Stepping out of my box

I did Lisa's "Step Outside You Box" today.  She showed a lovely pendent.  I used small domino's and created my own pendents.  I didn't have any tools to make jewlrey so I used a pair of tweasers to start bending my wire around.  I gave the pendents a thick coat of diamond glaze before adding the gold wire.
 
Here are the pendents I made today.

The Puppies

Of Course I have to include pictures of my puppies.  Boo Boo Bear is my 150 lb puppy. While he isn’t technically a puppy he still acts like one.  He is a Lab/Bouv mix.  Chase is technically my hubbys  puppy but for some strange reason he has decided he is mine LOL.  Chase is my little cock-a-poo that looks like a Cocker Spaniel.  You can see more pic of my puppies at   http://www.picturetrail.com/hunger48035

Alphabet ATC’s

I’m currently working on a set of Alphabet ATC’s with one of my swap groups.  I’m making one copy of each letter ATC to trade and one to keep.  Once this set is complete I plan to make a book from these little pieces of art.  Here are my "A" and "B" ATC's.
