Keep It creatively moving
I continue to work on at least 5 projects at the same time every day. I am working on a knit project, then I pick up my Zentangles, then I bead for awhile, then I design and dream of projects come. And somewhere in between I cannot resist a few hours of styling on the Polyvore website. The computer can eat up your time. But I always remember to take a lot of breaks from the computer and pick up my knitting and knit at least 6 inches onto a project. As I travel to and from work thanks to a suggestion from my dear friend Esperanza Zeno, I use that time to knit ( I once slept) key word being MY, if it were a job, I would get the knitting done quickly but I tend to take time for granted if the project is for me personally.
Project Status:
Zentangles: I am learning how to do some official tangles via the Zentangle Website I am looking forward next year to attending the Zentangle conference and will then become a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT). I always love sharing what I do, so becoming a Zentangle teacher should be fun and I hope profitable. I can think of numerous uses for zentangles. The concept board above shows me ( on the left) attempting to learn one of the numerous Zentangles created by the more experienced Zentanglers. I think its back to the drawing board for me ?
Bead Buddies: I started doing these cute little bead people more than 4 years ago. They are so much fun to make. And so far, I just keep them around and give them away as gifts to people I meet. A group of them can be seen at the top of my timeline in Facebook. I have other uses for them in my overloaded head, but have not executed the ideas yet. Stay tuned in to the travels of my little friends. Finding just the right beads is what makes it so much fun
Til next time Arnetta
Its seems that maintaining a Blog is a process that develops over time for some of us. When the time is right and words are there,the creative place is found then it happens. my blog name has now changed to Knitacreates and it is about to explode with all of my new found interests. Designing and teaching knitwear design is what I do for a living however I have just discovered the most relaxing activity "Zentangles" and I hope to soon explore "Art Journaling ", I always find time for my beadwork,beading is something I can still get lost in.
The creative inspiration for today is a wonderful form of doodling called Zentangles, the Zentangle Website pulls you in and the process did lower my blood pressure. I can think of a number of things to put zentangles on. I already doodle using my drawing applications and I still use the apps as zentangle inspiration. Below is a doodle using the app OmniSketch and my second original Zentangle.
