Days 82 and 83

     Not feeling any better right now, but the beauty of tangling is I can sit and very quietly draw.  And should I have to dash from the room, I cap the pen.  There are no paints to put away or anything like that.  That is nice.  Plus it is very relaxing when I definitely need that.  
     Day 82 was a challenge (yesterday's work) for the New to Me website by Suzy Mosh.  We had to use tangles, or at least one new tangle that began with the letter O.  I try to use all new tangle with that letter. So far I have been able to do that.  For that tile I chose opera, ozzie, and oola.  All three were new and lots of fun to draw.
     The Diva's challenge was what I worked on this morning.  We had to use a spiral string.  I love the looks of that type of string, but have a lot trouble getting it to be "right".   I started to go over to Michelle Beauchamp's site to look at some of her work, because in my opinion she is number one with spiral strings.  I decided that I really did not want too much influence on what I might do.  Now that I am finished though I may try another one after looking at her work. 
Day 82
Day 83
    I think I will finish sipping this water and then take a nap.  My goal is to be at school tomorrow.  Probably only a teacher would understand this, but it is more work to be absent than to go in.  Trying to find a sub last night was ridiculous.  I must have called 20 people!  Thanks for dropping by and I hope you are having a wonderful day.
