A Weekend Outing In Town

We had a busy and fun filled day this Saturday.  In the morning, my daughter and I attended the annual Orange Muffin Festival at our local Seniors community,  Plymouth Village.   Our town is known for our oranges, and the festival has become somewhat of a community event.   There were also booths selling various items.  I happened to find […]

Zentangle Challenge #11 Monotangle

As the title says, monotangle.  Use one tangle for the challenge: It may be because I am so new to this, but I found this challenge a bit difficult, and a little boring.

Wire Wrapped Lampwork Bead Bracelet & Earrings

Now I remember why I had not made a wire wrapped bracelet in some time.  Although very pretty, the process is very time consuming.  I decided to use some lentil shaped lampwork beads I made along with some Vessonite stones and vintage beads I had: Vessonite is known to be a good healing stone, aids in […]

Zentangle Challenge #10 The Space Between

Rather than fill every space on the tile, for this challenge, we were to leave open spaces: I purposely made this tangle into a frame.  Here is a colored version if you would like to download it for personal use (PSD file with mask): ***DOWNLOAD HERE*** I love this photo – it is of DH’s grandparents.

Digital Whisper 100 Themes Challenge #56 Universe

This was a fun theme.  My regular “hand model”, my daughter helped me out with this one.  I tried to portray the universe as “infinite”: And what’s a universe without the Star Trek Enterprise? Yes, I am a bit of a Trekkie 🙂 Credits: Background, Enterprise, & Universe sphere:  Google Images Grunge Frame: HG Designs
