Let's Take a Journey
Celtic knots have been used for various purposes throughout history, including in illuminated manuscripts, stone carvings, jewelry, and other forms of artwork. They have a rich symbolic significance in Celtic culture, often representing themes like eternity, interconnectedness, continuity, and spiritual beliefs. Some Celtic knots have specific meanings associated with them, while others are more abstract and open to interpretation.
The 8 steps of Zentangle drawing changed my life
The Zentangle drawing program has been a part of my life since 2013. I had always wanted to learn to draw and I had even made some attempts. Through those efforts I decided that I had no talent and therefore it was useless to try. Then I suddenly discovered something called Zentangle and now it has changed how I look at drawing, art in general, and how I respond to life.
Project Pack 12 Review
Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas along with their illustrious team at Zentangle headquarters, create wonderful Zentangle art packs several times per year. Project Pack 12 was originally released in December 2020. I was super busy at the end of 2020 and did not have time to work through the creative process presented in this renaissance art pack. So here we are at the end of 2021 and I have finally finished creating the amazing art tiles.

I Enjoy Tangle Challenges
I really enjoy participating in various challenges around the Zentangle community, and Inkober is one of my favorites. I look forward to the prompts from Seven Forests Five Rivers, Stephanie Jennifer. She curates a nice list of tangles with old favorites and plenty of new tangles to grow my repertoire.
Marvelous Mandala Stories
I recently had the privilege of introducing a summer-long series of classes on drawing mandalas. As I began researching and playing with designs, I discovered that mandalas have a rich history across time and cultures. The style used, designs and colors all impact the artist in different ways.
Mandalas seem to be universal designs in art and religion. As an example, I found that the Navajo and Tibetan cultures drew similar types of mandalas using both a circle and square to form the design. They also used beautiful natural colors from their part of the world.
