Hump Day Zentangle Challenge #12

This is my last Hump Day Zentangle post from our summer abode “down the shore” in Brigantine, New Jersey. (Note to Miscreants: Other people will be here so don’t get any ideas!) Dino and I have lived down here since Memorial Day weekend, while Mr. Excitement commutes for long weekends because someone in the family […]

color steampunk tangles

Labor Day and Steampunk- A Smidgen of History I guess a history major can graduate from college, but she’ll still always be searching for historical underpinnings. So, please excuse me while I learn something about Labor Day “out loud”. In the United States and in Canada, we celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in […]

Hump Day Zentangle® Challenge #10 – Stuff Happens & Tangle Your “Chop” Edition

August 21, 2019 5 comments

Stuff Happens It’s still Wednesday (Hump Day) in my neck of the global woods, but I apologize for the fact that this week’s challenge will be published later than intended. I wish I could be as focused as Mr. Excitement and finish projects before they’re actually due, but after 37 years of being married to […]

Hump Day Zentangle Challenge #9

There are certain things that seem to be hard-wired in human beings. Every culture has a myth of creation. We want to know where we come from, how we got here. And, every culture has music. Often, we combine the two. Not surprisingly, religiously inspired music is some of the most moving. Our search for […]

Windmill Zentangle tangle

Today is the first Wednesday in August. August!?! Seriously? July, we hardly knew ya’ and here we are 7 days into August. They say the passage of time seems to speed up as we age because each passing day (and hour) is a smaller percentage of our lives. As someone who is no longer asked […]

OTOH, friends and family who like to keep track of the tangled (pun intended) recesses of my mind—read on. I admit I thought today was August 1st, […]

Tangled Zentangle Tile using N'zeppel as a string

Much of the United States, and indeed, the northern hemisphere in general, sizzled last week through the weekend. After a stormy night, the extreme heat finally broke. Dino (our ancient cockapoo) and I have been pretty much confined indoors as we enjoy a rainy, cool-ish day “down the shore” in Brigantine, New Jersey. However, we’re […]

Zentangle organic tangles in color

Disclosure: I am hopeless at keeping plant life alive. Before I was an almost recovered lawyer (i.e. when I was a more than full time lawyer), Mr. Excitement and I realized that our home was a living example of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Any living thing that could survive with the amount of care we […]

  I’m dedicating this week’s Hump Day Zentangle Challenge #4: Perspective Edition to Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) Kelly Barone and her son, Travis.

You know how we try to teach our children not to leave things til the last minute. I had to tell our sons: Do as I say, not as I do. Emulate your father, that guy over there focusing like a laser beam on his work. Unlike Mr. Excitement, I do my best work with […]
