I've been playing around with some ball point pens doing some free hand doodles. Check it out.

Here's the first one. No pencils no erasers just me and an ink pen. Can you say art therapy?

This is number two and I really love this piece it has kind of a bluish greenish teal-ish colors and a purply blue.

Then this one came along.  Just a little bookmark. I watercolored the paper before I drew the design and I even burned the edges.

Number four is done on a stretched canvas. Not sure how I feel about this when yet. But I did discover glitter ink pens what fun.

I don't think it's done yet.

This one I really like!  It is done on white paper and I used a red pen, a purple pen with glitter in it and a mauve pen. 

Everyone says it looks like Hair.

For me I just like how it flows, however I am thinking of doing one it's all sharp points so stay tuned.

Then I did a Pineneedle bracelet. I still really like the infinity design.

So in the last week or so I have done multiple zentangle inspired drawings,  three baskets and started a fourth,  and a Pineneedle bracelet as well.

Art is a great stress reliever.

Whoops I forgot to show you the baskets…

And then I did a little purple and blue one. That's purple and blue threads of course.

 OK I think that's everything now now!

One tiny little customer bracelet done in black and silver.

And one handcarved Juniper spatula.

This is my first time carving anything where are used absolutely no power tools. No Dremel. no electric sander. 

I used my knife as a scraper for the finish and of course then I oiled it with mineral oil. 

I was specifically going for a rustic look I don't want it to look store-bought I want it to look handcrafted and this one just really went well.

And now you get to see it after it has been soaked mineral oil.

This one shows how I left a little not at the bottom of the handle. I think it turned out nice.

I still have to do one more bracelet and one more spatula before I can get on to doing just whatever I feel like doing wish me luck TTYL!

Here is my newest Pineneedle bracelet. 

This is number three of the five that I have to do for a client. They will be Christmas gifts.  Usually I know why making these things for, in this case I do not. Makes it a little harder to try and think of something a little different for each one that each lady may like.

I like the infinity symbol in this one and blue and brown is a very popular combination let me know what you think…
