Indecision

After I decided this was the tangle I would use today, I rotated it around and around about six times.  I couldn't decide which way I liked it the best.  There are some flowers that I really like and some that were just ok.  When I would rotate it parts that I didn't like really  jumped out and the parts that I did like seemed to fade away.  So this is the way that I finally decided on.  Not because I think it's the best, but because I just couldn't decide.  I had to go with something.  You'll have to take a look (you know turn your head from side to side and then put your laptop on the floor and look down on it) and let me know what you think.  I'm starting to get a little braver with the color but it still scares me.  On this one I could see where the color enhanced certain parts which was really cool.  Sometimes I like the tangle just like it is and I'm afraid I might ruin it by adding color that doesn't look right.  I happen to have one of those (which you probably already guessed) so you can tell me what you think about this one too (it's down below).  Happy day to all and I hope you're having sunshine today.  Hopefully soon I'll be able to say something like nice weather, or a great day outside, you know something along those lines.  I think we (at least in Nebraska) will have to wait a bit longer for that.  So wherever you are, enjoy your day and do something creative just for yourself!

Road Trip!

A couple of weekends ago, Mr. Thisorthat and I went on a road trip to pick up something he had purchased.  Gotta love the Internet for all kinds of things!  Since Laura (I am the Diva)  had just posted her Artoo pattern, I wanted to work on it a little.  After I got the Artoo down on the paper, I wanted to add some leaves to my tangle.  Well if you have ever tried to draw (or write) when riding in the car (especially if Mr. Thisorthat is driving - dont be mad you know its true), it doesn't work too well.  I found that if I held the pencil on the paper, the movement of the car made the pattern on the leaves for me.  It became a lot of fun to see what the leaves would actually look like.  I guess its the same way with everything we do, if you "wing it" you might be surprised what the outcome is.  Enjoy the last day of February!

Garden of Hearts

I had a great lunch out with my mom today.  I thought I would do some shopping while I was out, but then decided I would rather go home and DRAW!!!  I worked on this one this afternoon.  I have to admit I got very comfortable sitting in my chair while the sun shown through and I dozed off for a little nap.  When I woke up Mr. Thisandthat was home and I finished it up.  He's a great encourager for me and I love having him around when I'm drawing.  I will have to say he is my biggest fan and comes up with all sorts of new creative ideas to help me.  Way to go dude and thanks!!
