Wanderer returns

Hello anyone out there!   I have been absent for a while, we had a holiday on the Isle of Mann, which was lovely. We saw huge basking sharks close up and some wonderful views.  The vintage transport system and the TT race route appealed to Rick, Rachael loved the beaches.

Anyway I said my latest discovery was Zentangle, well, I have now been playing with paper bead making!  What fun they are, if a bit fiddly.  I even tangled on white paper and make beads out of that!

Changes afoot.....

Well -  I have finally got around to continue with my blog... it has got so out of date and there have been many changes in both my hobbies and interests here at home.


The biggest one is that I  have discovered ZENTANGLE.  this has changed my crafting since Christmas and I have been exploring this art form and experimenting Zentangle and all its uses and off shoots.


One of the nicest parts has been my discovery of LINEWEAVING  this is a forum site with lots of crafty folk chatting and sharing ideas and helping each other, swapping ATC's and other art work.  I love it.

So  lets add some art work and see how we progress.. I do hope you find it interesting
Love Elaine

 These are the first Zentangle tiles I made with help from watching You tube and various books from Design Originals.
I was both surprised and thrilled with the results



I also found the ZEN in Zentangle!  it really is relaxing and refreshing working on these little tiles

I am very proud of this one - its a rubber stamp with added tangles, I do think the effect is striking.
