Out of the BOX???

Happy Monday.... it is overcast and trying to rain... but it is a dreary day outside... but INSIDE... Yikes I am going to play and play all day long.... what fun...  

The Diva (Laura) asked us to go out of the box...Not a problem... but I generally live out of the box all the time...  So I really had to think on this one...  

Tangling has always been an out of the box activity for me in 99% of all ways... so I really had to think... can you smell the smoke???  Think.... think... think.... okay... I bought a sepia .005 point  that is really small... and I found that I only have used it once...  my black one I use for special areas etc... the since I only have a .01 and a .005 sepia... I tend not to use them...  I really love a .02 or a .03 black.. .  so that is sort of out of the box a little... right??   

The other thing I really have trouble with is things in boxes...  tangles done in boxes... so I thought I would do some of that... and then also working on a small area is always a problem... as I love to have flowing lines, and fill a whole sheet of 8x11 paper... I love tangling...  I can also fill a huge room with all kinds of things in no time... also a house!!!!  Yikes... I have a PHD in that...  

Well... here are my two examples...  

 Ooooops  I am really having trouble saying connected this morning...  I keep on getting kicked off line.  You have to LOVE dial up!!!!  NOT... 

Anyway... this is only about 3 inches square... not my favorite.. and it was done with a sepia pen... . Looks black to me...  and it had a .005 point...  not my favorite to tangle with... but since we are working out of the box... I had to stay in the box... does that make any sense?? ? Just re-read it...  I love to be out of the box...  all the time...  

 This one is also in the box...  as I did tangles that were all in boxes...  I really love doing the purk or leaves...  or balls... but I tried to stay in the boxes... I really did try... 

Oh we all need to go out of the box... and it does feel good to a degree... but I do love my flowing lines, my flowers... and all the tangles that flow and mix so very easily...  

Thanks Laura for the challenge...  and staying out of the box is a good thing...even though that means I have to go into a box situation...  LOL... so very good... 

Hope you have a good day... and that you get out of the box... no matter what it is... and that you find pleasure and learning in it...  
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and hope to see you soon...  
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

  4. I'm with Karen-your grids are so neat and uniform that I never would've guessed you don't particularly care for doing them. Pretty!

  7. Love both your ZIAs even though they are quite different from what you usually create. I agree, being out of the box is somewhat uncomfortable - lol. Have a great week.

  8. Wow, Bonnie, I'm impressed. Your tangles are beautiful, and you did manage to stay in the box (I think I did see a rebellious purk though (winks). Great job on both pieces!
