Dreamin of a holiday

I got a beautiful leather A4 journal book with wonderful handmade paper and loooove it so much, anyway i have been thinking of hollidays lately and it seems like there are some palm trees in my future (well, in my tangle at least) :))

Loose Ends

This is an A4ish size tangle, I called it loose ends cause I just felt like I couldnt tie it up in to a neat string, sometimes ya just cant fit things in boxes :)

Artoo

The Diva's challenge for this week was to use her new pattern 'artoo' in our tangle, it never ceases to amaze me just how much a new pattern can breathe life into me :) Thanks Laura this is a definate keeper !!

Lost

This turned out ok, but I wish I could not feel lost every time I go to start one !

Windmill

This one was an accident (if there are such things:) I was writing in my journal and just started drawing around the wheel that was in the middle (a pattern in the book) and I thought I would stick in on here as it turned out kinda cool :)

With love to Artoo

Iamdiva's (Laura's) little man has had a bad time of it health wise lately, so we are creating this weeks challenge from the heart :)

Crossroads

Busy times with busy family, all roads crossing over each other at breakneck speed it seems, with different goals and challenges , quite the tapestry :)

Tyred !!

Feeling very tired (tyred :) and stressed after a trip to Bendigo through flood waters with impatient shoppers and stressed shop assistants everywhere !!! We drove through very deep water and this tangle reminded me of the tyre tread surging through ( me with my eyes closed) ... I wasnt driving :)

HOPE

This dodgy beginning (bottom left hand corner) reminds me of life, no matter where you begin from you can soldier on and actually create something beautiful :)

YASI

My tangle today is with thoughts of my sister in law and family in far north Queensland as they live through the horror of Cyclone Yasi, I see swirling winds in the right hand corner and the waving palm trees in the middle that have been shown on our TV coverage since this began yesterday, there are lots of sharp things in this tangle and I see wire and fences and feel the harshness of it all coming through.

Diva Challenge

Laura threw out a challenge to us this week to create a tangle while remembering the basics of Zentangle........Relax, Breathe and Smile... wow did i find this hard to remember !!! Hence the idea to tangle the words, I thought I would put this up on my wall and maybe remember to live that way toooooo:)
