How hooked am I? Totally hooked  and  tangled.  But having fun and  creating simply for the sake of creating.  Nothing to market. No decisions on price, or if it is even marketable.... Simply having fun.  How many of these do I have started? Way more than I have finished! 

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake

Did I need it?  Absolutely not!  But I caught the bug.  I have been seeing Zentangles on all my regular haunts.  Facebook,  Pinterest, and Michaels.  And I wanted to try them.  Oh, I tried to hook my sister into it, thinking that would serve my need to see them and not have to get hooked on them myself.  But... she didn't bite.  So this weekend,  I caved and tried it with stuff I had around the house.  Paper,  Sharpies. How cheap of a  craft obsession ADDICTION is that? Well, we will see. I have a doctor's appointment today in close proximity to a Michaels and I may just have to slide in there and see what I might need! In the meantime, I have actually  found a corner of the living room to work.  For some reason,  JWS has not noticed yet that I took over another space in the house for crafting.  ...
