Water Color - Thread and Sissors

So I've been taking an art class through Brookline Adult Ed with Mer (a dear friend of mine who has yet to follow my blog, but we won't take that to heart).  Anywho, the still lifes were near and dear to me, Sissors and Thread.  Oh if my teacher only knew my close bond with these unseemingly normal objects. Thankfully I didn't eat them as I do every other week with our still lifes (Last week was M&M's, how could I not resist!!).  So I thought I would share my artwork from tonights class....  Enjoy!

Zentangling again. Oh dear

I'm at it again.  This time I'm Zentangling for a bunch of 7 yr olds soon to be 8.  Couldn't help myself.  Check out these cute signature notebooks I just whipped up for their birthdays.  I'm pretty sure there's a study out there that says Zentangling will solve world peace, it's the only explanation as to why I'm 'tangling after midnight.  And YUP, I just said 'tangling.  
Enjoy!

Zentangle Notebooks - aprx 4" x 5.5", with 14 pgs.  Doodled with fine black marker and pencil on 140lbs cold press cream watercolor paper.  Book pages are white standard weight paper.  Sewn together with black book binding thread and tied on the inside signature.

Mon Petit Jardin - Accordion Book

I've been creating a bunch of small (3.5"x4") vegetable watercolor drawings and felt the need to photo copy and make an accordion book.  Here are the results.  I don't know about you, but I'm craving some beet salad, or grilled asparagus??

Fabric Zentangles

So Meredith and I are taking an art class together and we've discovered the art of Zentangling!  If you don't know what it is, prepare to be addicted!  I've heard it called Yoga for the Mind, it's very relaxing and looks great too!  I've applied this to fabric, check out the results...
