A Bit of Planning…

Posted on July 6, 2016 by DrEMiller

Day 22 of One Zentangle a Day, and it only took me three months to get this far! That’s why I write about the book days rather than calendar days. The book week’s chapter deals with color and talks about … Continue reading →

Illusions

Posted on July 6, 2016 by DrEMiller

The topic of today’s lesson in One Zentangle a Day was “repetition creating transformation,” which ultimately results in more optical illusion. It’s The book’s Day 21, the last day of Chapter 3: Geometric and Organic Patterns. Today’s patterns are Rick’s … Continue reading →

Mini Tiles and Their Uses

Posted on July 5, 2016 by DrEMiller

Such a prosaic title! It’s Day 20 in One Zentangle a Day, and I can’t think of a way to get one of the new patterns to work into a tile.  Ever since the preface to Chapter 2 (Day 8), … Continue reading →

Clutter

The Day 18 topic in One Zentangle a Day was curvilinear geometric patterns, featuring Gneiss, Cadent, and Huggins as the daily tangles. For Day 19, the topic is geometric rectilinear patterns, and features Rain, Cubine, and Beeline. The latter two are … Continue reading →

Posted on June 30, 2016 by DrEMiller

Once again, our power went out and I have all doors open to allow for a cross breeze. I guess we’re lucky to be on an island that is not currently undergoing a–well, whatever you call a total absence of … Continue reading →

Bedraggled

Posted on June 29, 2016 by DrEMiller

At this moment, I feel totally bedraggled. And I think that came out in my Zentangle Inspired Art, or ZIA. Day 17 of One Zentangle a Day gave me three more patterns yesterday, but it wasn’t until today that I thought … Continue reading →

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 →

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 →
