Another Day to Waste

Posted on June 27, 2016 by DrEMiller

Today was just another day of plans gone awry because of variables beyond my control. Or were they?  Beyond my control, that is. I could have gone to the bank early today, but my husband made an appointment with an … Continue reading →

What the…?

Posted on June 19, 2016 by DrEMiller

It’s so frustrating!  Those are not the words I typed–or tried to.  It happens on my laptop, but not nearly as much or as often as on my phone or tablet. I type one word, the program changes it to … Continue reading →

Moving On

Posted on June 18, 2016 by DrEMiller

Today, even though my hands were tremulous, I decided to do one last Zentangle or a ZIA. Hopefully, the tremor is temporary and my hands will be steady again in a few days. If not, well… I still have time … Continue reading →

Impermanence

Posted on June 16, 2016 by DrEMiller

While messing around with Day 15’s three tangles–Yincut, Locar, and Verdigogh–I got an idea that would also include the three patterns from Day 14–Dyon, Chainging, and Keeko. It’s not a Zentangle, nor Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA); but I think I … Continue reading →

Locar: Fact or Fantasy?

Posted on June 15, 2016 by DrEMiller

Frustration with the Zentangle pattern Locar took me to the Internet and YouTube again today. Apparently, I am not the only one frustrated with Locar. And since the “official library” on the official Zentangle site no longer maintains its images … Continue reading →

Got Nothing…

Posted on June 13, 2016 by DrEMiller

Three new tangles today; not a hint of inspiration yet… Maybe tomorrow I will come up with an idea for putting all three together. Maybe tomorrow these tangles will inspire my writing.  But not today. Draw on! #educ_dr

Created Unequal

Posted on June 12, 2016 by DrEMiller

Instead of moving on to the next “day” in One Zentangle a Day, I decided to try another experiment with transitioning from one pattern to another with similar characteristics. Deciding to do this exercise in my sketchbook instead of on … Continue reading →

Transitions On My Mind

Posted on June 10, 2016 by DrEMiller

All day today–especially while doing my newest Zentangle–my mind has been on transitions. Part of that may be due to the topic of transitions covered in a recent One Zentangle a Day lesson; part may be from having had far too many … Continue reading →

Slowly Tangling with Inspiration

Posted on June 9, 2016 by DrEMiller

Inspiration. We all want it, even crave. Some of us find inspiration all around us. Others, like me, are clueless about what inspires anyone at all.  Lots of bloggers discuss what inspires them to produce certain works, whether visual, verbal, … Continue reading →

Attention Deficit? 

Posted on June 8, 2016 by DrEMiller

Couldn’t sleep last night.  Read a little. Drew a little.  Zoned out for a short while.  Drew a little. Brewed some coffee. Read a little. Sneezed a lot.  A cold. Oh, no! Brewed some tea. Tried to doze. Runny nose, … Continue reading →
