Doodle/Zentangle Fish

Hi all,
       Hmmm strange things happening today as this is the second time I am making this post as the first one just sort of disappeared......blogger gremlins out and about perhaps ?
     Well I am back to normal now as my router turned up this morning, and after a quick switch around with computers and stuff  I am good to go.
      As you can see above I have finished the doodle/tangle fish I started some time ago, and although I am not happy with the finished piece I am itching to get started on something more bigger. I just love working in black/white with pens, and find it to be very creative and relaxing much like doing mandalas, the juices start flowing and my imagination kicks in with the weird and wonderful.

Back online today ?

Hi all,
Well my new router is set to arrive today I hope. It should of been here sooner but like a lot of things these days it did not. Feeling a little bit frustrated that I cannot get online properly and do all the things that I need to, but thank god for my Android phone which let's me do smaller things.
Went to a dog show at the weekend which was great lots of super pooches all shapes and sizes,plus I caught up with some that were puppies from last year...will put some pics up later on.
New work to show another German shepherd in graphite and a few other bits.

No internet

Hi all,
Just a quickie today to say that I have no internet as such because I am swapping providers. This post is being made via my phone so I am able to do a limited amount of stuff. Should be back to normal by Monday...I hope.

Zentangle

Zentangle, a group on Flickr.

Hi all,
This is my first post for things that I love and inspire me,which today is Zentangle love. Being a member of quite a few groups on Flickr I am always amazed at the beautiful different types of art that I come across, and I just love Zentangle. I could not just pick one type and share it with you all, as there are so many that I love, so instead am sharing the group works with you all. If you love to tangle, go have a look see at the wonderful art being done here, I promise you will be inspired.

July Stones

Hi all,

       Have finally finished these few stones now, although the picture is a little blurry. I really liked doing these and got quite creative with the colours and design, especially the longish ones as I made the dots quite prominent and that it turn makes it very touchy/feely.  I don't always dive in straight away with the paint blind, I make lots of little sketch's with my ideas,patterns and expressions for the faces and will be doing a few more soon.

  Thanks for all your recent comments, much apprecaited and as given me some food for thought.

Zentangle/Doodle Fish

Hi all,
       Back online today and regaining some normality thanks heaven ! The router turned up and after a quick switch around of puters and stuff everything is running smoothly. I really do ask myself a lot how on earth did we cope before the age of technology, as I can still remember the days when I did not have one and would borrow hubby's for a quick surf like a scared teenager playing with a new toy. Blogs,flickr, google,yahoo,seo,search engines,msm,hotmail etc....all those words and anything associated with it were just alien to me and in some ways life was so much simpler and less complicated. Now it is computer everything, and that in turn has opened up a whole new world for me as I imagine it has for a lot of people, so I reckon I will still be doing this when I am at least 80 !

          Well I managed to get finally get this finished and although I am not entirely happy with the work I like the idea behind it. Working in this style, with pens is something I really adore doing and cannot wait to get my teeth into something larger and perhaps more elaborate as this one is just a small sketch book size. There are elements of doodles and zentangles in here which I think work well together, and the creative process is just so and relaxing, much like the mandalas.
