Another Week Gone By

Wow - what a crazy busy week!  Soon to relocate at work (day job) and today was registration where I teach beading.  A bit too much stimulation, all told, but hey - I can take it! *G*

Today I'm going to share a peek at the very first Zentangle done by a friend of mine, Tiena H.  She had heard my friends and I discussing Zentangles and received a gift of art supplies for Christmas with a Zentangle intention.  Whether she realized it or not, I forgot to ask, but she fit the challenge for Orbs!  This is her virgin Zentangle, with the technique figured out totally on her own, and I think it rocks!  Got a few good words for me to pass on to her?
I would also like to thank everyone for their wonderful encouragement and generous comments.  You make my day EVERY day! 

Happy Saturday!

Challenging Orbs

Wow, what a great challenge Laura put before us this week!  Using "orbs" as your inspiration, tangle away!  Orbs, circles, spheres... however you call them, they are symbolic of so very, very much.  Many disparate peoples around the globe use them in their cultures to symbolically represent wholeness, completeness, fecundity, femininity, nourishment, community, isolation, congregation; the list goes on endlessly.  I think my tangle ended up reflecting the complexity I found when considering this challenge.  What do you think?

Happy Wednesday!
