Zentangles and such

I was reading Sharon Driscoll's blog the other day when she posted an article about zentangles. Click on the link for more information about zentangles. Since one of my goals is to improve the creative side of my brain. I decided to give zentangling a try. Zentangling is considered to be both a left and right brain exercise. As a side note, it is very relaxing to do.

Here are some of my zentangles. I am truly amazed at what comes out of my brain. Not that my zentangles are that great, but they are interesting!








See this face? I didn't know it was in my brain.










Here, I see a lion with his nose, his mouth and his mane. Hmmmmm.












I'm not sure what brought on this face, but it is interesting. Is it a bit of Picasso?












I like this zentangle, but I'm not sure why. This doodle reminds me of a fern in a jungle.


So, the question needs to be asked. Do you zentangle? What do you think of it?

Three Beautiful Things This Week

The Three Beautiful Things This Week is a result of a wonderful blog by Claire called Three Beautiful Things. Everyday, Claire writes about 3 Beautiful Things that happen in her life. It's a wonderful blog! I can only hope to imitate her in a very small way.

Sunday
1) The greyhounds were visiting at Pet Expo today. I couldn't help it. I had to buy Pixie a Valentine's scrunchy to go with her collar. She was the most beautiful greyhound there! No other grey had a valentine's collar. No other grey had a scrunchy! She loves her new collar, too!


Tuesday
2) This morning the landscape was a landscape of contrast. Where the fog floated down the river, the trees were kissed with the softest fur of ice. As we climbed the hill to go home, the trees were black without the white kiss of the fog.

Thursday
3) I finished my state taxes today! If you don't think that's a beautiful thing, you don't know my organizational system! I'm so happy to be finished with taxes!
