This, That and The Other

Not quite finished with my pencil drawing, tried do so last night but Fat B kept coming up sniffing and blowing so I gave it up and finished this zentangle instead. The sun was coming through the kitchen window blinds late yesterday afternoon on the kitchen table where I take the photos to get good light. I loved the way it looked!
Working with the black ink really brings the contrast I enjoy though I plan more with the colored pens. The other day I purchased some neat small color frames with zentangles in mind, thinking that stepping into this venture I would throw everything against the wall and see what sticks!!! Plus, I like the variety and some things can be completed faster than others.
Recently I took on a challenge offered up by Soulbrush to post 70 facts about myself (many are still in a semi-conscious state). Those that participated were up for a card making kit via their name being chosen by Soulbrush's fluffy Snuffles. Proudly I announce that apparently my name had the lucky odor sniffed out by Snuffles!!!!!! The kit arrived just the other day! Thank you so much SB for your generosity and your constant support!
Yesterday I put some of my work in frames and started writing my resume- to be prepared for anything part-time that may interest me....there is one position that caught my eye......wheels are turning a bit in my head for directions to go in with my art. Those wheels have been locked up and rusty for some time now.....how do you denote wiping noses, field trips, team mom and homework task leader in a resume? Ha.
Apollo informed me that Mr. Unplugged was referring to next Saturday for a trip to visit BigBoy and not tomorrow.....information from spoiled-rotten bulldogs is unreliable. Must get on with the day, keep VolleyGirl and the 5 busloads of her class in your prayers as they will travel back from overnight retreat in rainy, Friday afternoon traffic.....severe storms here tonight and tomorrow.

  1. Your zen is wonderful. I like the squigglies that make it very lively. Prayers for VB girl are on the clouds as we speak.

  3. We're supposed to get a shot of ugly weather tomorrow and tomorrow night too. (I'm hoping the timing of it will work out that I can get some lightning photos.) Will keep a good thought for VG and her mates!

  4. I've been seeing Zentangles on some other blogs and it looks like it would be just plain fun. Is it? Love the crisp black and white of these.

    Congrats on the kit... looks interesting!

    BTW - You asked about the "Gracie" final post.... just re- posted it! Sorry it wasn't there when you tried to access it... I had yanked it because I saw a problem with it... didn't realize it would show up on your blog list so quick!

  5. The fact that you won something, AU, tells me that your luck is in - Get that resume polished girl and out there - The job you want is just ahead of you! All the very best of luck with the search, and I hope it helps rekindle all your creative urges too x

  6. I love your zents. I don't know what kind of job you are looking for, but these would make a wonderful porfolio of your talent. Your graphic design background is SO obvious. Good luck with that.

    I'm keeping VGirl in my thoughts. Fingers are crossed.

  7. WOW.. THATS A GREAT ZENT. WOW. You're amazing. Yes that should be included in your portfolio like Katie said. I hope by now the girls are home and safe. It's been a long busy day or I would have been here sooner. I could have missed this treat.
