Christmas is just around the corner and I have found some wonderful paper ornaments on the web.Here are a few.

Really beautiful examples of what can be done with simply paper.

New Books

So much art,so little time.I bought two new Zentangle books this week and can't wait to study them. I found these huge puzzle pieces at a Christmas rummage sale.Each piece is about 6" square(well not square really). So my idea is to paint each piece white and then zentangle on it.,Put all the pieces together and frame it.That would be so cool.Now, if I can just remember where I put the puzzle pieces........

Smalls

I like creating small pieces now and then.Here are some ceramic pins I have made.

Really had fun making these.

Time for Art

I try to do something related to art everyday.It may be a drawing,research,designing,or just rearranging things in my studio.I think it helps the creative process if you are being creative in some way.Making time for art is really important to me and is a necessary part of my day.I even have a drawing pad in my car.All those little minutes you can find here and there really do add up.Try it!
