Zendala Dare #42

I finally got up my nerve to try a Zendala Dare from Erin at The Bright Owl. Here is my first ever:

Bales

The ZIA Yahoo group has a new challenge called TOW (tangle of the week.) This week, it is BALES:

Having a bit of difficulty making this blog assessable to interested readers. Thanks to Susan Clark, I now have two working ways for this to happen. (As you can see by my photo, I've joined both ways to test it out LOL.) If anyone else has ideas on how to do this gracefully, or with ideas to jazz up the site, I'd love to hear.

Alien ants!

In the new group I have joined, we were to use Mi2 in a zentangle. There were six of us. Five made such pretty tangles. Mine? Well, can you say alien ants?

I have come to the conclusion that, while everyone else will spend time thinking and planning, I just jump in and wait to see what I get. Good? Bad? Don't know, but that's just what I do.

Happy New Year

My best wishes for all of you to have the best, happy, healthy, safe New Year!
