Perfect timing!

      Normally I get Erin's (Bright Owl) post and template Saturday evening or night.  Yesterday it was in my box when I got up.  So I had all day to focus on the dares.  I needed it too.  I am diabetic.  I checked my blood sugar yesterday and it was rather high.  I try very hard to keep it low, but admittedly with holidays and such, I have gotten rather lazy.  Yesterday's number reminded me I cannot get lazy.  But in addition to the reminder, I got rather depressed.  So the early arrival of the dares and the opportunity to just sit and mindlessly draw was very relaxing.  It was perfectly timed!

 

     Finished up my inchie for Every Inchie Monday today.  I had done one with a button that looked sort of amulet like.  But when I finished I just couldn't see what I wanted.  So I found a picture of a jewel and mounted it on some glittery paper.  Then I took the gel pens and added some details.  I still don't "see" exactly what I wanted, but it is closer.

      I hope your day (and week) is going great.  Thank you for dropping by and leaving me some sunshine.

    Great work, Cathy - you have produced three very different Zendalas and I really like the last one with the colour on it. I don't do the Inchie challenge but like the effect you have achieved with yours. Take care with those sugar levels! Axxx

    While all 3 have their unique characteristics, I am partial to the first one. It reminds me of a plate

    Very creative-it is interesting to see all the different tangles you chose for each one. Some are very involved! Nice work with the shading as well!

    Nice Zendala's Cathy. I like what you did with the amulet also. It really is difficult to keep up with good health poractice during the holidays. Don't beat yourself up, just move forward. My husband has the same issues and he tends to get stuck in a downward spiral. You are headed in the right direction :)

    As usual I am in awe of your zentangles. They always blow me away. Makes my mind wander to making a zentangle with beads lol. I do love the inchie as well. Amulet is a hard theme. you hit this one out of the park!
