Organizing my tangles

I decided I wanted to have a place to keep up with all my new tangles so I bought  baseball card protectors and found index cards that were the perfect size.

Tangled Photo


I decided to take two of my loves and combine them. I entered this photo in the fair a couple of years back and got 2nd place on it. After I brought it home, I got something on it and messed it up... (see the leaves in the bottom right). Then it was knocked off the wall and the frame broke so it sat in my craft room for about a year. I kept thinking I wanted to tangle a picture then I remembered this one. I almost forgot to take the before picture as you can see where I started tangling in the middle of the sunflower. Now I believe it is resurrected. What do you think?

Experimenting



Experimenting with tangles on rocks.

Weird

It's weird how after I take a picture of one of my tangles,I can see it in a totally different light than when I am drawing it. To me this tangle resembles a crazy looking clown or maybe even a fish.  I was simply drAwing paisleys and had planned on filling the entire space with them. After viewing it through my camera lens, I decided to leave it as it is. What do you see?

Art Journal





Thanks to Life Imitates Doodles for linking me to No Excuse Art community. It was fun to have a focus I could use for future projects.   (L-R) pink, orange & lime green; - maroon, orange & purple; - orange, navy & pink;- aqua, green and violet; I also created color combos with the words "watch me now": watch = blues, green & yellow; - black, gray and red; - red magenta & purple. 
(L-R) mustard, smokey blue & plum; - magenta, gray and coral; -red, green & yellow; - orange, yellow and gray; -orange, green & yellow; -coral, sea-foam, gray & pastel blue; yellow, purple & bright blue. 
Below is  the reason I was in need of color combo's. I don't like the way it turned out. Just means I need to do better next time and I should now that I have created color options I like. 




Thanks to Life Imitates Doodles for linking me to No Excuse Art. Sometimes all we need is a little direction to get started on a fun journal page or two. The first page shows color palates given as suggestion and the second page contains my own color combo ideas.
ond are my own ideas.

Couldn't Sleep last night...

So I couldn't sleep last night...I woke up, or should I say Ellie woke me up at 3:30 so I decided to stay up hoping I would sleep tonight. I have a scrapbook app that allowed me to put some nice frames and backgrounds to my creations. I always seem to start out with small details so I tried to open up on the next two. I think I like the second one best. It just seems more free or something. Zendala dare #92 from the
