Tangled Book Pages
several months ago I discovered Zentangles
being featured on several blogs
they are sort of
organized doodles
with repeating patterns
and contrasting values
I was intrigued by them
since I have always doodled
so, I grabbed an old discard book
and gave it a try
and I must warn you
this is VERY addictive
they're like
meth for doodlers
since I found the first ones
I have seen them on all sorts of things
everything from
tennis shoes to tables
I have been thinkin about other surfaces
upon which to 'tangle
butI'm kinda stuck on old book pages
there is just something
seductive
about drawing in a book
brings out the kid in me

Snow Cones Book Page
a new book page today
pinecones and snow
getting in the christmas mood
begun with a drawing
zig millenium 05
archival pen
sepia colored pencil
brown, light brown and black
shading darker under the petals of the cones
lighter toward the edges where the light would hit most
green, jade green, dark green on the pine needles
some light erasing on the text
page is old and fragile
and the eraser pulls a hole
repaired with tape on the back
elmers glue on the ends of some of the cone petals
on top of the branches and needles
sprinkled with snow glitter and dusted off
a few dots here and ther in the background
white acrylic paint atop some of the needles,
branches and on the tips of cone petals
dabbed on thickly
snow texture
text speaks of
standing before the fire
under the mistletoe and
surprised him with a kiss
library discard
battered copy of
Eight Cousins
full of pencil and crayon marks
being salvaged
one leaf at a time
