Post Card Swap

This is the first of 8 post cards I'm doing for a swap. The theme is my home town. I live near a historic little town called Morpeth. There are many little gems to be found here. From chocolate and fudge tasting, the best lolly shop and the most beautiful river, historic buildings and bridge.

☆~My New Pattern~☆

Here it is, my new pattern. I am naming it 'ANTEEK' because it is a trim pattern around an old (kind of antiquie) semi circle table I acquired a while back.... I feel like it does resemble elements of other patterns like 'Dekore', 'Drip Drop', 'Fancy Nancy', 'Eyehook', 'Retro' and 'Sp-eye'ryl' but is different in so many ways.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to acknowledge this beautiful design.... I have been fiddling with it for a while and come up with these step outs.

This is a wonderful tangle pattern to play with.

I'm kind of addicted to it now. Lol!

And for my Facebook ' Aussie Zentangle Inspired Art group ~ 'Utensils challenge' thanks to Lila Popchef of Poppies Pen Pics I came up with this little gem. Cookie cutters.....

I am quite possibly obsessed with zentangle inspired art, but who can blame me. I hope you enjoy using my new pattern. Would love to see what you come up with. Link back here to my blog if you post it on your blog. Yay!

Playing Catch Up

Oh my dear blog,  I have missed you so. But I'm back..... here are a few bits and pieces I've been up to over the weekend.

I've been working on this 3 piece sequence for a friend of mine. Will be sure to post again when it's complete

The kids and I love to partake in some body art. Look at that unicorn my son drew, he has the artistic flare for sure. 

 This one was done on a gorgeous card sent to me by another artist, Lila Popchef, you should see her work, stunning...

 I found these little post cards at  Kmart this week. Perfect for tangling on.  

On top of all this, I think I have come up with a new tangle. I'm just checking that it doesn't already exist before getting too excited. If it is indeed a new one, I'll be posting in the next day or two so stay tuned. 

Bleh!

I am so sad to say this, but my uni schedule has just thrown me way out of whack!! I have not had a chance to do any tiles this week and it is breaking my heart. I am only in my 1st semester of first year nursing and I fear I am losing my love, my passion,  my down time, my zentangle zen........ I keep telling myself it's only a couple more weeks and I will be on mid year break and I will be able to catch up on all the challenges and swaps. I absolutely promise to give myself time to unwind🎊💆🎉and you, my readers some beautiful tangles to look at. Just have to put my head down and bum up for the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping to get a tile or two done this weekend between prep for next week and my final assessment. Wish me luck and send some sanity vibes my way. 💋🌠

Exactly what I think

Black & White tile swap

Here's a progress pic of the tiles I'll be sending all over the world for a tile swap on FB.

Playing with lettering.

I have discovered Joanne Fink.

 Big statement if you love lettering and dangle zenspiration....... Joanne does some amazing things using a different style of zentangle. I stumbled upon her when I decided to do a banner for my Facebook ZIA group. This is what I came up with but it doesn't fit so it's back to the drawing board. Lol! Punn Intended!
