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!

New batch of bracelets!  

Remember girls and boys that I will customize these bracelets for you at no additional charge. Within certain parameters you can even pick the designs, but you definitely get to pick the colors and the buttons and whether or not you wanted to fit your wrist or your ankle.

Without any lettering on your bracelet it becomes totally reversible.

I love how these colors pop!!! I cannot even decide which side I like better. LOL

And then I added a little love to brighten your day.

And now on the more serious side. I learned a valuable lesson this week. I'm a pretty trusting kind of person and I don't usually require people to pay upfront for customized work. Unfortunately this time I was asked to put someone's a initials on a bracelet, and after talking with this person and figuring out a time and place where we could meet she then decided not to answer my communications at all for over a week now.

Normally I would just put the bracelet on my table and sell it, but I can't do that with someone else's initials smack in the middle of it. 

This person even went as far as to ask me to make the bracelet twice its normal length so that her daughter could grow into it over time. 

Live and learn.  It turned out very cute too! And now all I want to do is take the scissors and cut it in half.

Her l loss and my lesson learned.

Custom bracelet for a tiny friend!

I started and made a sample/plan and started again.

2nd time...much better.  Sometimes it's the details.

And now back to the loom.

New bracelets!

Reversible!

05/18/2015

TADA!

I never thought I'd like the color rust and the color burgundy together but it turns out I do. Leave it to a fellow artist to push me past my comfort zone.

The one that has the love on it is for her. A gift for a friend's birthday. And the other I just did for my table at the farmers market since the thread was there.

05/14/2014

DONE !

But I confess, there was some (think lots) of unweaving.

Misspelled it should be FIERY!  Who knew?  So started over and decided in little sunflowers.

I am a proud mama!

TADA!!!  How 'bout a custom trivet!

i'm getting ready for the weekend at the farmers market. So I've been polyurethane eating and making art as fast as I can. I worked up the tapestry loom…

Already have the inkle loom warped with hand dyed, hand spun silk.

And of course can't forget the Firebird.

And dragon.  But I modified him a little.  Got rid of the white chest.

I think it looks more cohesive this way :-).

And then I warped up the BIG frame loom with intermesh technique.  Purple and blue. 

This is the back side.  

Front side.

They are called flowers and this will be a cuff bracelet.

Check it out!

It would be totally reversible, except for the lettering.

Back to the loom...
