A First for Everything

This is a double first for me.  First time to blog and first time showing a "zentangle" aka doodling back in my day.

My "thing" is art using rocks.  I live in a very rocky coastline area and my supply is endless. Most recently, I started painting on rocks.  I was browsing the internet to check out what was being done and I kept coming across these great, intricate artsy designs.  You guessed it, Zentagles!  I decided to integrate some tangles into my painting.

I spent several days checking out the patterns on tanglepatterns.com before I had the nerve to take pen to paper (or paint to rock as it were).  But now, here I am.  Influenced by the zentangle community.  Posting on a blog.  Sharing some of my rocks.

This first rock uses "knyt".  When I first saw it, I thought it would be perfect for my mother since she is a huge knitter!  So, with Christmas right around the corner...knyt on my computer screen...brush in hand and rock in place...its a knyt rock for mom this year!


I added a couple Zingers and a couple of my own little bugs...because it is going to be a garden rock...and a tiny elephant.  She has been collecting elephants all my life and my husband said the rock had to include one!  This should add some year-round colour to her garden!

I hope she likes it.
