Here's my desk
It's as I left it Tuesday night after working on some stuff yesterday. I finally pulled out some of the (many) photos I have and worked on pages. I really need to do something with them and it was one of the goals I had this year.
I also pulled out some Zentangle yesterday. It's been ages since I've done any. I have been really inspired by Shoshi's lovely wooded Zentangle (can't find specific page) that she did. I'm really not that experienced at it so I thought I'd better start doing some again. It is quite fun and relaxing.
I've been taking lots of photos for the A Year With My Camera course I'm taking. I am really learning lots! Went for a lovely walk Sunday (previous two posts) and took lots of pics.
It's dull and rainy here today so I'll be off visiting desks and (hopefully) getting another photo page done!
I tried zentangle but always felt mine lacked imagination but I never cease to be impressed by the work of other "tanglers" - yours looks lush!

ReplyDeleteHi Sharon. Lots to look at here - love the pages you are doing. I'm not really a scrap booker - but occasionally I'll do a page if something really grips me.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm off to look at some more of your photos...
Take care. God bless.

Lovely seeing you so busy! I can tell you've been playing with the Depth of Field on your second photo! I like playing with photos too! Thanks for visiting earlier. I got a notification of your comment, but I can't see it on my blog for some reason. I hope it's not a dreaded Google bug again! Happy WOYWW! Zsuzsa #26
ReplyDeleteHope we get to see the finished zentangling. I love doodling but I haven't done any zentangling for ages. I tend to stick with small areas of stamped images although I'm always amazed by some of the works of zentangle art I see online. Sarah #24
ReplyDeleteYour zentangling is great! I thought it would be right up my street but it's not the craft for me...I think I lack patience, lol!!!

Hi Sharon, yes Shoshi does some wonderful Zentangling, I agree. It's funny, I used to do it years ago, before it got a name! I'd be sat on the phone to my Mom, and could easily fill a page or two whilst listening to her, as I rarely get a word in edgeways! Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #8 XXX
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, A nice busy desk. Love your Zentangle.
ReplyDeleteI colour most evenings whilst watching TV.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW

Me back again, apparently the Oxides are a blend of dye and pigment inks. There are some good You Tube videos from Tim about them. XX
ReplyDeletethank you for visiting my blog. I also like te be busy with foto's, making them and also with drawing... so this is a good post for me. groeten uit Nederland
ReplyDeleteLove your zentangling and yes, I admire Soshi's so much but I do like yours too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the intentions for this year, I am sure you will make them all.
Hugs & Thanks for the visit to mine earlier,

I used to do a lot of zentangles in my journal. I like doing them in the summer when I can wile away the warm summer days on the porch! Maybe I will do some more this summer. I find it helps to have zentangle pattern samples readily available so I don't have to think too much! Yours looks great! The more you practice, the better you get! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #40
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Zentangles. I love doing it but Find it difficult to sit down for long enough and you really have to concentrate. Yours looks lovely so far and hope we get to see the finished piece. Thanks for the visit to mine and happy woyww, Angela x 21
ReplyDeleteI wish I enjoyed zenangles but I simply don't. Enjoyed stopping by your desk. Am always interested in seeing what others are doing with their photographs.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your layout. I am always so impressed with zentangles, but don't have the patience to do them myself.

I can't do 'proper' zentangle patterns but do like a doodle!! yours looks great. sorry I'm late returning visits. Helen #5
ReplyDeleteGood for you getting some scrapping done, it is quite satisfying when you can look back on your pages, keep at it... Your zentangle looks brill to me too. Thanks for the visit BJ#16
ReplyDeleteHI Sharon. Thanks for the visit. Go you on making time to Zentangle. I was looking at a book on clearance yesterday. I really want to play but time seems to be an issue for me. some day. doing something with photos is also on m list this year. Creative Blessings! Kelly #42
ReplyDeleteOops... using my many photos and making scrapbook-layouts was my goal for this year too... I kinda let it 'slip' and you just remind me... I'll put it on my to do list! Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday, enjoy your week. Love from Holland, Marit #30
ReplyDeleteoooh that is cool, I have not ever really tried it but, I love seeing other people do it. I think I am going to try cracking the windows open a little during the day this weekend to remove fumes. ( hopefully that works) :) thanks for the earlier visit, ~Stacy #44
ReplyDeleteI have never tried zentagle - it looks so clever. x Jo

Thanks for the visit, seems my norm is running late, lately. Fun desk, I like the I left my heart in many places ! Your Zentangles are great, something I've never tried. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you tangling, Sharon (and yes, for the info of anyone reading this, apparently the correct verb is "to tangle" rather than "to zentangle"). I think this is the particular one you were thinking of: http://shoshiplatypus.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/tracings-for-mamhead-album.html and also here: http://shoshiplatypus.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/woyww-381.html. I love your woodland photos. A walk through the woods is one of my favourite things, particularly in the spring, when there is a carpet of bluebells under the pale new leaves of the trees. Pure magic! Thank you for your visit and your kind words - I am so grateful for everybody's good wishes for my recovery. I am feeling a little better each day but after washing my hair this a.m. and helping my hubby change the bedding and sorting the laundry that was it! Totally wiped out!! I'm really looking forward to being a lot stronger so I can get back in the studio again and start having fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
