The Gallery in The Studio

I'm grateful and quite lucky in that I have a room all to myself and just for my crafts. It's sometime called the Studio or friends call it my Obsession Room. Usually I refer to it as My Craft Room.
I've been doing quite a bit of ZIA work lately and I finally decided to frame some of my pieces. Michaels Crafts had a sale on frames so I had lots of fun picking them out and figuring which pieces to use. But now where to hang them?  You guessed it - in my Craft Room.  I'm very please with the results. Now I think I need to call this my Studio... Have a look yourself.
What do you think? And remember I can teach you how to do this. It's fun and truly an art anyone can learn.

Valentines Day

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentines Day. 

New Zentangle Renaissance tiles.

I had fun playing with the new Renissance Tile. Here is a finished piece. 

I love the way the colors pop. 

Ensemble done

My 9 tile ensemble is done. It will be part of a tile swap. Because the string on this ensemble are preprinted we will swap individual tile and make a new ensemble. I'll have a 9 tile ensemble that was made by myself and 8 other CZT's. 

Not much for words.

Well as you can tell I'm not much for words. I have however been busys. I have several new pieces. I decided that I should post them and not stress about not writing. I need to get them photographed and then I'll post them. 

Right now I'm working on what is called  an ensemble. It consists of 9 tiles. I'm almost done. When it's finished, I'll post the completed work. 

A new ZIA that needs a name.

This is the biggest pieces I've ever done. It is 14" x 17". It's taken a while but it's a rewarding process.
I had intended to add the photos as I worked on it but that didn't quite happen. I decided to post the "almost done" piece and the photos of the progress here and now. I still need to do some more shading and I'm not sure if I want to add any more tangles.
For it's size I think it deserves a name. Any suggestions?

I'm thrilled

And very excited.
