I have been juggling so many different things lately that I have gotten behind on posting my CSA images. The zentangle created for Week 7 is a great illustration of the "tight ropes" (more like a bunch of wobbly ones) I have been attempting to walk.

Happy 2014! One of my goals for this year is to create more art. Since becoming a Certified Zentangle Teacher, I have focused almost all my art making time creating Zentangles. Don't get me wrong, I am still passionate about tangling and can easily lose myself in it. Unfortunately, even that time has been sporadic at best. This year I am not only establishing a daily Zentangle practice (thanks to Carol Ohl's Tangle-a-Day calendar which I have done for the past 19 days
