Next Friday is Valentine’s Day. However, I thought it would be a good idea to start thinking about it this week, so you can make some romantic plans or at least get a card ready for your loved one. If you need any suggestions, I provided some in this blog post entitled Romantic Escapes.
I’m feeling especially grateful to/for my loved one, Mr. Excitement, this year. As I’m dealing with the pain of four compression fractures in my thoracic spine, he has proven time and time again that he was serious about that “in sickness and in health” thing. In addition to his more than full time day job, he has taken over most of the dog walking, cooking, cleaning and food shopping duties.
Since my most comfortable position is adhered to the couch, I’m still working with color to try to keep myself cheered up.
I’m working on a mosaic using 6 x 6 inch white tiles that I paint with Golden brand high flow acrylic paint that I dilute with water and blot with a paper tile. I find that doesn’t transfer to a black Sakura gelly roll pen. (These are Amazon affiliate links.

Hump Day Zentangle Challenge #30 – Love Will Keep Us Together
Not surprisingly, I’ve noticed that people posting other Zentangle challenges this week have embraced the Valentine’s Day theme. As much as a I hate to seem derivative, the Hump Day Zentangle challenge this week also asks you to incorporate hearts in your composition. Yet again, I resorted to a mandala (zendala), this time with a plethora of hearts.
For my tile, I traced a 6 x 6 inch Strathmore Bristol Vellum artist’s tile onto a piece of white cardstock. Color was done with Sakura metallic gelly roll pens and Prismacolor Premier soft core colored pencils.
I confess that I don’t know the names of my heart tangles. Do you have any heart tangles you like to use? If so, please share their names with us in the comments below.
