Zentangle® Oshun and an Inchie

I did not realize that today was Thanksgiving in Canada. So, no Diva Challenge today. I hope all of our Canadian friends have a great holiday.

Saturday, I did a presentation at the Appaloosa library in Scottsdale, Coloring and Zentangle for Seniors. It was a lot of fun and very successful. If you missed the first one, and are a senior living in Scottsdale, I will be doing a second presentation on October 20th at the Civic Center Library. Do call and reserve a spot as they are almost full. 

Square One, Facebook, has a focus tangle of Oshun, by Sandy Steen Bartholomew. I placed it in the corners and then allowed Quib to grow from each side.

Every Inchie Monday's word is Direction.
You have BRAINS in your head, You have feet in your shoes,
You can steer yourself any direction you choose." Dr. Seuss

From Oh, the Places You'll Go! I never tired of reading any of Dr. Seuss' wisdom to my children. (This is from the cover.) If you've never read it, you should. Excerpts.

Thank you for stopping by. I will post the Diva Challenge tomorrow. Hope to see you again then.

    1. I loved all those books and the ones from Shel Silverstein and Maurice Sendak. Great words and drawings. Oh, and all the Winnie the Pooh!

  4. I love the Dr. Seuss books. In fact, I think I've got "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" in my bookcase somewhere. I'll read it every now and then. I think I got it when I got my niece some of those books many years ago. And so I really love that inchie. Brings back memories. I never ran across Oshun before. I like it and it looks pretty simple. You incorporated Quib in there very nicely. If I lived anywhere near Scottsdale, I'd sign up for that class. Sounds like fun. Alas, I'm way up here on the Northern California coast. We are looking forward to our first good rain for the season starting on Thursday. Thank goodness!! We really need it.
