The past eighteen months have been the hardest eighteen months of my sixty-one year life, and my creativity has not been the only thing to suffer. But! The Lord is so faithful to me, and my determination to trust Him with all the moments of my life has borne fruit in small ways. I am finding joy and rest in Him, and learning how to navigate life with deep grief and pain as my constant companions. They are not pleasant companions, but they are uniquely mine, and I am learning to accept them. Acceptance of circumstances that I cannot change is key to pressing on and choosing joy...and I am pressing on and choosing joy. That's the first time I've written my thoughts down...it is cathartic, and thank you for listening.<br />
<br />
I'm part of a Facebook group called Bitty Bookz. A lovely, talented CZT colleague of mine, Chris Titus, created a tiny book using Zentangle tiles, and offered a tutorial on how to do it ourselves. You can find her tutorial here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/707891507/bitty-bookz<br />
I love book making and tiny things, so I was immediately smitten.<br />
<br />
One of my granddaughters is a talented crafter, so after I made my own test Bitty Book (pictured first), she and I made five more for herself and four cousins. What fun! I failed to take progress photos, but below are the three books made for young cousins. We all went shopping and each cousin chose their book covers and closures. These books measure 1.75"X3.5". š<br />

I'm Still Alive!I don't even know how to explain why I haven't posted in...gulp..over three years. I don't really have to explain to you, though, do I? You know. You know, because your life is just like mine. So we'll just move along, OK??<br />
<br />
I haven't been creating much this year. Been a tough year, and my creative bone has been, well, a little broken. I did make some bookmarks, which is kind of my favorite thing the past two-three years. They're small, don't take much time, and I really enjoy personalizing them and giving them as birthday and special occasion remembrances.<br />
<br />
This year I made one for each of my oldest three daughters. My youngest daughter's birthday had already passed when I had the idea, so hers is coming next year. I find bookmarks for guys a little trickier somehow, so my son's is still in the offing, too.<br />
<br />
I got out my calligraphy stuff last May and enjoyed practicing and piddling with it for a few weeks, so I used my lovely brush markers for their names. When they were small, I had a plaque in each of their rooms with their name and the meaning of their name on it. Name meanings are important.<br />

Number Two is our darling peacemaker. She was the middle child for seven years until Number Four came along. Middle children learn a lot about getting along. Such a precious, tender heart...but more grit and determination than can be measured. Her great love is horses. These last two were my first foray into tangling with just pencil, for a lighter, ethereal look. Kind of cool.</div>

Auraknot and Mooka are two of my favorite tangles. I decided to do a quick one, and I also decided to (gasp) use my 2013 <a href="http://www.greydenpress.com/Store/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=tangle-a-day%202014&product_id=155" target="_blank">"Tangle A Day"</a> calendar that I've had over a year and...not tangled a day.<br />
<br />
So here's a hearty shout out to my lovely friend and talented creator and author of the "Tangle A Day" calendar...CAROLE OHL of <a href="http://openseedarts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Open Seed Arts</a>! Thanks, Carole, for such a lovely book, such lovely paper, such lovely Zentangle art. You're the best!<br />

The swap was the brain child of CZT <a href="http://jazztangled.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sharon Lynn Payne</a>, who also facilitated the group and made it happen. It was her idea for all the CZT's to create a "deck" of ATC's - 52 tiny, original, works of Zentangle art! So we all made 53 (one extra to be sent to <a href="http://www.zentangle.com/index.php" target="_blank">Rick & Maria</a>) cards over the course of the past five months.<br />

One would think that five months to create fifty-three 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" Zentangle drawings wouldn't be that big of a deal...but, as I am wont to do, I procrastinated and found myself frantically drawing the last 25cards in the last seven days before the March 26 deadline.<br />

It was a fun experience though, getting to know so many other CZT's and learning from their work in our Facebook Group that Sharon created. Many thanks and kudos to you Sharon, and all my ATC buddies! Can't wait to receive my deck of 52 from 52 of you! ā„<br />

It is her 155th Challenge, but only my third time to venture out of my comfort zone and enter my work. You can see my two previous entries <a href="http://deepmagictangles.blogspot.com/2013/03/marvelous-mooka.html">here</a> and <a href="http://deepmagictangles.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-little-more-phicops.html">here</a>...and you'll also see why I don't enter the challenges often! I always read (and love) Laura's posts, but there are SO MANY incredibly talented Zentangle artists out there, that I usually just enjoy looking at everyone elses' entries. Not today. Today, I loved her notion of leaving empty space in the tile, so I gave it a shot.<br />

This is also my first time to use Aquafleur (in public)! I've been wanting to try it since its debut from Rick and Maria in their Jaunary 19 <a href="http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs119/1101168872594/archive/1116292742131.html">newsletter</a>, and finally did. I did a practice <a href="http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/2011/02/weekly-challenge-11.html">monotangle</a> tile a couple of days ago, and liked it so much, that I've been playing with it in my <a href="http://deepmagictangles.blogspot.com/2014/02/bookmarkn-it.html">bookmarks</a>.

I made a few as giveaways for a Facebook post regarding my first Found Poetry art. It was so much fun, and the possibilities are endless. I just finished one as a personalized gift for a friend - she requested a New York City/Broadway/dance theme. I've decided to add them to my<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/179400995/personalized-zentangle-art-bookmarks?"> Etsy Store</a>, because personalized stuff is always fun!<br />

I love looking at all the entries, but am often intimidated into...silence. This week's challenge appealed to me in its simplicity. Just use one of the strings from Linda Farmer's marvelous blog <a href="http://tanglepatterns.com/2012/06/tanglepatterns-string-004.html">Tanglepatterns.com</a>, String 004. So I did it.<br />

It is called "Kansas Keeper", and is a tribute to his magnificent 44 foot sculpture "The Keeper of the Plains", which he magnanimously donated to my hometown, Wichita, Kansas in 1974.<br />

He stands nobly atop a 30 foot raised rock promontory at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas Rivers. Wichitans are rightfully very proud of this powerful symbol of our Native American heritage. After all, Wichita is named for the Wichita Indians, and Kansas for the Kansa Indians, "People of the south wind".</div>

Coming out of....the shadow - the Black Dog, as Sir Winston so aptly called it. I've been off my groove for 2-3 months - uninspired, unmotivated, undone. This is a first for me, and I found it very unsettling, very distasteful...but couldn't even care about how the Unhappy World of Un made me feel. There were a number of factors contributing to my state of Un, not the least of which is my age (55) and my health (not the best). I've taken the health thing by the horns and am wrestling it to the ground - making serious lifestyle changes and feeling much better. Other mitigating factors have also changed and improved, as well. Overall, the shadow is lifting.<br />
<br />
The hardest part of the World of Un for me was not wanting to draw or create. Anything. It just dried up - like a lovely, sparkling stream gone completely dry and lifeless. That's how I felt.<br />
<br />

All that to say, I've finally drawn something. A few things, actually, and I liked them. It's been a process, with fits and starts, but I'm definitely getting it back. It started small, a trickle, with an embellished logo on our church bulletin on Sunday, but I was quite smitten with it! :)</div>

Just a scrawl, unplanned, unthinking, unhindered. The very heart of Zentangle. It whetted my appetite for more. That night, I got out the Strathmore Toned Tan journal I'd bought a while back which had been sitting patiently on my desk, and tangled another sunflower. There it was. That joy, that satisfaction, that pleasure.</div>

Then I decided I wanted to dive all the way in and draw a Tangled Garden of my own. I've been watching with interest for several months the organic tangles and tangled gardens of CZT's all over blogland and FB, drawn on the toned tan and toned gray paper.

March was busy with Zentangle classes! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This fun group was my Hobby Lobby class. As an added bonus, one of my fabulous students was Darian Leatherman, star of the stage! As it happened, Hubs and I had tickets to the Wichita Community Theater's production of "Doubt" on that very night, and I got to see Darian splendidly perform the role of Mrs. Miller! I also saw Darian's name in the credits as costume designer for the Crown Uptown's wonderful musical "Little Women". What a talent!</div>

Just got home Sunday night from the Best Retreat Ever - the CZT Hideaway 2013 held at the <a href="http://www.woodedglen.com/">Wooded Glen</a> Retreat and Conference Center near Henryville, IN. It surpassed my every hope and expectation in every way. I'm deeply indebted to <a href="http://www.wattatangledweb.blogspot.com/">Lesley Gilliam</a> and Angie Gamble for organizing and executing every single detail of this marvelous event to perfection. It couldn't have been better, and I couldn't thank them enough!</div>

I'd had an incredibly stressful week prior to leaving for CZT Hideaway, so getting away, resting, relaxing, rejuvenating...tangling to my heart's content without that nagging feeling I should be "doing something else"...priceless. Thank you Lord, for this blessing. Thank you Lesley and Angie for working so hard to make the weekend so special for us. </div>

I had fun making it...I actually seldom get the chance to tangle for fun at my leisure. But now...there on the page...it looks a little like a tangled mess. Ok... a lot. Too bad. There it is. </div>

But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthian 13:13</span></i><br />
<br />
I was invited to submit a ZentangleĀ® art piece for the annual art auction benefiting the Women's Initiative Network. This is a local non-profit agency that assists women in abusive and violent situations in finding work, teaching job skills and how to job hunt, acquiring business clothing, etc. Here is the piece I created for this worthy cause. It is entitled, "These Three Abide".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"These Three Abide"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whenever I hear those three words, I am reminded of a song my sister taught me when we were children.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Faith, hope, and charity</span><br />
That's the way to live successfully.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How do I know?<br />
The Bible tells me so!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the largest piece I have ever done - 11" X 14". I had fun choosing the tangles to fill it, and used several I had never done before...cubine, punzel, striping, and scroll feather. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've named this lovely woman Evangeline. She, like her namesake, exemplifies strength and determination, bound together with cords of faith. Indomitable courage in the face of overwhelming adversity. I like her - she makes me happy. Her face is lifted toward the sun, toward the future...confident, expectant, hopeful. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
...but I'm ready to go back to my little three and a half inch tiles!</div>

These lovely ladies all attended an Introduction to Zentangle Class held at Hobby Lobby East in December, and decided they wanted more. More Zentangle is my favorite thing! They scheduled a Class Party, and our Hostess With The Mostess, Terrie Parsons, received her class FREE! Each student received a Tangle To Go case which contained 2 white Zentangle tiles, 2 black Zentangle tiles, a round prestrung Zendala tile, and a white Gelly Roll Pen. These CD size cases are perfect to slip into your purse or pocket to take anywhere.<br />

They requested the <a href="http://deepmagictangles.blogspot.com/p/classes-workshops.html">Private Lesson package</a> (scroll down on this linked page to read about private lessons), so we tangled away for three hours! They had been practicing, so we were able to cover a lot of ground. I taught them more than a <i>dozen </i>tangles. They learned, Paradox, Betweed, Mooka, Flukes, Zander, Coil, Pokeleaf, Linked, Msst, Sand Swirl, Featherfall, Vertigogh, and XYP. I also showed them how to use pearls (beads) as a beautiful filler, decorative border, or pretty dangles. What fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They all got a chance to try their new Gelly Roll Pens on the marvelous black tiles. You can see Sonja's (far left) beautiful "Featherfall" on the black tile. I love Featherfall...and these great gals!</div>

I love all the phicops tangles I've been seeing all over Pinterest and Blogland! I took another stab at it and finally feel like I'm getting it. I really love nautical and shell-like tangles. I adore seashells, and would have a houseful if I lived near the sea.<br />

This class was Introduction To Zentangle, and was a party, which always enhances the Fun Factor! The delightful hostess warmly welcomed us with a beautiful array of snacks and beverages - an altogether perfect party! She lives in a loft apartment in Old Town, so I was excited to get a chance to see one of them! It's so cool, and she is a Decorator Extraordinaire. Bonus: she <a href="http://deepmagictangles.blogspot.com/p/classes-workshops.html">received her class FREE</a> for hosting a class party. Thanks, D.!</div>

She was intrigued by my ZentangleĀ® art, and invited me to submit a piece for the upcoming art auction. This auction serves as a fundraiser for the Derby Community Foundation, and takes place at an annual gala event called "Uncorked".<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the piece I donated...</div>

In exchange for the donation of art, I will receive a free ticket to the "Uncorked" gala. I'm hopeful about meeting some folks that may be able to help propel me to fame and fortune....well...at least spread the word around town that I offer ZentangleĀ® classes.</div>

I wonder if this hand-wringy, insecure, uncomfortable, embarrassed feeling will ever go away? I wonder if other people who draw (see?

This fear of rejection and vexing consciousness of...exposure? </div>

I thought of a couple of things I wish I'd said or done after everyone left, and I also wished for more time. My future classes will be two hours, which will be better. One of the things I wish I had had time to show them was how to draw Onamato or Perlz. They are one of my favorite tangle patterns (a pearl shape), and I use them frequently to fill in odd shaped spaces. Onamato is an original ZentangleĀ® pattern by Maria Thomas, but the step out instructions are found <a href="http://beezinthebelfry.blogspot.com/2009/06/tangle-of-week-onamato.html">here</a> on Sandy Steen Bartholomew's blog, Beez In The Belfry (ā„ her!). I use both black and white pearls in lots of my tangles. I love 'em! I also love the way Maria used them in her tangle pattern Purk, demonstrated <a href="http://tanglepatterns.com/2011/02/how-to-draw-purk.html">here</a> in a video on TanglePatterns.com. I used Purk as the north point on my compass rose (which you can see on my "My Tangles" tab). </div>

Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas are dear people and wonderful teachers. I came away well equipped and eager to begin teaching the art form that has revolutionized my thinking about art and my own abilities to create it.<br />
<br />
After Providence, my husband (of almost 37 years) and I took our dream vacation: a fall foliage trip to New England! We spent three days in Plymouth/Boston, three days in Maine, drove across New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York to Niagra Falls, then home to Kansas. An astounding, perfect trip. We had so much fun and saw the most amazing fall color of our lifetimes. We spent the night at a B & B on Cape Ann, MA - in a room not more than 20 yards from the ocean, took a Segway Tour in Portland, ME, took a five hour scenic railway trip through the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Visited Fort Ticonderoga and drove through Adirondack National Park, and visited Canada and Niagra Falls - eighteen days and nights. What a profound blessing, for which we humbly thank the Lord God.<br />
<br />
I'm working hard to set up the business end of teaching ZentangleĀ®, and hope to be ready to announce my first class within the next week. I'm tentatively planning on holding my first class in my home the 2nd or 3rd week of November. Stay tuned! ā„<br />
