I am the Diva has given us the challenge to create with String #3... I have to say that it is not one of my very favorites... but that is what a challenge is all about... right??? So since I was not that happy with the other ones, I started to play around with this String #3 last night again...
Here is what happened...
Each time I would start to tangle I would see a word pop up and I had to put it into the space... so there are tangles and words and lots of feelings in this TIA... Things were going in and out... and then sinking down under the page... and then popping up in other places... a fun time was experienced while doing this string...
Okay.. and I also did this one...
Which is entirely different than all the others... that is for sure...
So each time you do something... think of something different and your TIA will also be different!!!! Wow... what fun can we have with a pencil and paper... endless... right????
Thanks Laura for all the fun that you generate .... and I do hope that you all get better soon. Hopefully Artoo will not have to take a trip to the hospital now... keeping him home to heal, is so much nicer for all of you I am sure of that.
Hope that YOU... yes you... have a great day... and that the words in my tangle tile apply to you in all ways today... that you can grow, with wisdom, and hope that you have total peace in all ways...
and that Balance is the key factor in all ways.
Enjoy your time today.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and keep your eyes out for the hat... it is coming soon...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Today is DIVA day...So please take a look over there during the week to see all the different looks to this one challenge... We are to use the String #3... I love doing these strings... and have quite a collection of them...
In August of 2012, I decided to do them all... (I do have to get caught up now... as I think I need to do from #32- present time... ooops !!! too many pots on the stove.... LOL)
Well this is the one that I did in August...
This is the TIA unshaded... there is so much difference when you shade something...
At least I think there is..
I do like them both ways.. but really enjoy shading... so most of mine are now shaded...
Here is the same tile shaded...
Huge difference in the two..
ooops... my lovely dial up made a boo boo... and didn't put the entire tile up.. . so funny... I have to laugh or I would be in the looney bin...
I so wish I could get dsl... or something faster than the two tin cans with a piece of string between them... but our LOVELY phone company... AT&T does not want to finish the job that they started... only so many dsl services in an area.. and only one mile away they have a little bit higher speed...
Oh well... I try and calmly think about some other kind of service being made available to us soon...
So today I did String #3 again
and this is what it looks like...
I really don't like parts of it... but I guess that is a 'thing' I am going thru now... I have way too many things on my plate.. loving it all.. but way too many and guess that the ZEN is taking a break from me... at least for the while.. LOL..
Well I did enjoy doing it... love doing all the little areas... all differently creating their own little world... so that is good. the final look... not really important... the feeling.. worth a million words and thoughts...
Have a GREAT DAY.... enjoy it all.. and put life as the main focus for today... enjoying every single moment that you live... I have to take pictures of my most recent Altered Alice project... which I really had fun making... hope that you will check back here on Sunday to see it... I really LOVE IT... so much fun.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and see you soon...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Yesterday being Saturday it was Zendala Day... but I just had too many other things that had to be done... and then some friends stopped by to visit... and the night got away from me... so here it is Sunday... and I thought I would have all day to play around with this GREAT Zendala that Erin Created for us to play with...and again we are having company over this afternoon... soooooo I quickly had to create a few zendalas that I liked.....
You know that when you don't live in the moment and you try to do too many things all at once nothing happens the way it is suppose to... so I really didn't like any of these... but I will try later on to get one done that I LOVE...
If I had taken my time, I most likely would not have done the three... so I had fun doing them... and my hubby got to sleep a little bit longer...
There are sections from each one that I really like... and other parts that I am not that fond of... but hey... I do enjoy this... so that is what is really important anyway... right???
Sometimes I make a sample one and try different things in each space... but I didnt' take the time to do that even... so maybe if I have time this week I will do that...
You know that I should have done one with flowers... I am starving to do some pretties...
Love my flowers... that is for sure... it is cold and over cast today and I want to see the SUN.... and I want to be nice and warm... I know that soon we will all be complaining about the heat... so ENJOY THE MOMENT!!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT DAY...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Well I think that I got this a little bit more now... so it can pour into something... What do you think...
Had to add the flowers... they were screaming to soften this tangle...so I let a few polk out of the sides... LOL... I miss doing flowers... and so they have to be added...
once in a while...
Well I have been playing all day... now I have to go make dinner...
What to make!!!! That is the question of the day...
Hope you have been having a Good day... it is beautiful down here... in Western North Carolina... nothing could be finer... LOL... Oh well I had to add that too... An old song ... from way back when...
Do you remember it...
Nothing could be finer than to live in Carolina in the morning....
Guess you had to be there..
Thanks for stopping by for a visit...
and for all the comments that you so generously leave me... thanks a million y'all...
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie
Happy Monday!!!! This month has zipped by so very quickly.... amazing how quickly time does fly when you are having fun...
Okay...Being Monday... the DIVA has another challenge for us all.... I have been having fun with this one... I really wanted to make this special as a 'healing' mandana for Artoo.... We all need healing and this is one that I use all the time... it is the Chakra system of energy .... always in need of fine tuning... so you can read all about the body and colors that correspond to each section of our bodies..
With this in mind I created this ....
When I first saw the string/Emblem for Moebius I was really stumped... and then I thought about the charkas and wanted to do that... so after looking at the above link to the Charkas, you will understand my color choices for this... Also my choice of tangles... Each and every one has a double meaning to it... all for energy power for Artoo and all the other children in the world that have this disorder... I do send very spiritual love to all of them.. Please go to the Diva's page for all the insight into this disorder... and then understand that these children need understanding and love... and the parents need strength for understanding the childs needs... so very important... Our Love goes to B-Rad and Laura... Thanks Laura from taking time in your life to create all these challenges...
I also have been having fun with the new Tangle on the block this week... Y-ful power.... love it...
Here are a few that I played with last night... getting warmed up for the challenge today!!!!
I didn't want to do this tangle even at all... I wanted it to 'travel' all into an smaller area... I didn't get the exact look I wanted.. but I will... I just have to keep on practicing.... a lot... so hold on... when I want to get a certain look... I keep on trying and trying until I get it...
Ugh...
So I tried again... and it is a little bettter... but I really want it to pour into something... LOL... I think it is so neat... love this tangle....
Well.... a busy week... lots of things on my list of TO DO... so I had better get started...
Hope that you have a nice day where you are living your life... if is beautiful here today... a little on the chilly side... but nice... sunny and blue blue skies... love these blue skies here...
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and see you soon... I do need to practice... LOL...
Love, Light and Peace...
I was very tired last night... but pulled together a little bit of creativity and created this zendala... It is all lines... okay... a few circles too...
I did have fun doing this... but when I finished I walked into our bedroom and went fast asleep... Very ZEN like drawing to say the least... at least for me it was...
Hope you have a great day... it is a glorious day here... feels a little like spring... time for planting...
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... enjoy your day...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
Another few pages... for the year of 2013....
Hope you have gone over to see Rick's other digis...
if not... take a trip on over there...
SEPTEMBER
The Fall of the year... 2013... WOW... can you believe this time of year... so very magical in all ways... so I had to make this a special month.
When I saw this Cheshire CAT... I knew what he would LOVE TO DO... catch leaves and throw more up in the air..
Of course since this is Wonderland... you know that maple, ash, oak, walnut, and elm... all grow on one tree.... right??? LOL... so much fun when we create with humor and love... and these Digis sure allow for all that to flow so very easily...
Of course the tree is a Tangle Tree... not just any ole tree... a tangle tree is special in all ways... each section if different... and it grows different leave too....LOL... but the leaves...
Well the leaves are all different colors... shapes and grow in silly WONDERLAND ways...
but they were painted with twinkling H20's... Dylusional sprays, and all kinds of other things... I made the papers, and then cut them out with die cuts...
And then I added Designer Stickles to them... not all... as each leaf is really different... but there are 6 different colors of stickles used too...
Antique Linen, marmalade, reds, yellows, and browns... tans and so on...
FUN ... that is what I had with all these pretty leaves... FUN....
And then look at that precious CAT.... is he wild or what... He loves playing in the colorful leaves... and as wild as he is... he is charming in all his glory...
Of course the design for this cat could not have been more perfect for this month.. Thanks Again Rick... I love all these digi... and will use them for many other projects...
OCTOBER.....
Now I have to be very honest with this one...
I really don't care for this gorey/zombie look at all... but that is what made me decide to create a calendar for this sponsor... because I could very easily use this Alice for October!!!! How very perfect...
I had all my Halloween stuff out still too.. as I was late putting it away... prior to getting out the December Christmas embellishments... LOL... Anyway... I love this spookey page... don't you??? Sometimes we have to move beyond what our own feelings are... and create something wonderful with the gifts we have been given... and I LOVE all the digi that Rick has so generously given to us... I LOVE THEM... don't you...
And with all the haunted houses, owls, bats, skulls, and pumpkins... it is a perfect Halloween page for October...
On this page, I used so many things that I love for Halloween month... the colors are so very vibrant... and I love it... all the crows.. a true favorite critter for me... and then the owls too...
Well I am not really in love with spiders at all... but these are cute... and the bats too...
NOVEMBER
Happy Thanksgiving...
Wow.... in real time... Thanksgiving was a few weeks ago.. and Christmas is just a few weeks ahead... I am writing this in early December... so Thanksgiving is still on my mind... all the lovely meals that people have enjoyed during this time of family...
Even if it is Wonderland Family...
Well... I had to tangle a little bit... and then I had to paint a little bit... (the leaves... ) and then I had to punch a little... and have some other kinds of stress releasing fun!!!!
But what a family gathering they had in Wonderland... so much fun... All dressed up and ready for the Thanksgiving day parade...
Where at the end.... Santa Arrives... already...????
It seems like this is endless... over and over... is that what a calendar is???? Endless fun... Endless playing... so much fun...
DECEMBER
Christmas time... Holiday time... Holly and Poinsettias, bells, and presents... all on one page... of course the holly and poinsettias are my drawings... and the rest is from dies, etc...
But the little ALICE... that is a RICK St. Dennis... so if you haven't checked him out... please do...
I used red Perfect Pearls for the holly berries... and I love the look of them , along with the yellow centers for the poinsettias... great stuff...
Oh Dear Me... The calendar is all shown... and I certainly did have a fun time making this one... and will certainly enjoy using it through this year of 2013...
Thanks again Rick for all the wonderful digis... and I love them all...
Even the gorey ones.. LOL... love the way they fit into the calendar months...
Hope you too have enjoyed this... and will get some digis from Rick and make one too.. . Thanks for stopping by each week to see this too... if you missed any... just click on Calendar pages on the left side... and you should find them all there...
Have a GREAT 2013.... Happy New Year...
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
Well you know that I have to always try a few times to be satisfied with the Challenge... so I had to do another DIVA challenge prior to the week ending... LOL... is it already that time again??? Almost... I think today is Wednesday... hump day as some call it... the middle of the week... onto the week-end. WOW January is really moving fast .... already at the middle of the month.... yikes...
Okay... so here is a little one that I created with a Heart rope... I think this could really become a favorite of mine...
I have been trying to do all the new tangles as soon as I can download them... that way I learn them and they become part of my way of thinking... so this is heartrope...
Since the Diva, Laura gave us this neat challenge... my mind has been thinking of different ways to incorporate the two tangles... I love the bunzo here... and I am not that crazy over it ... so I think I am starting to like it...
I used a piece of charcoal to shade this one... a little dark in places... but that is okay...
Hope you have a nice day... it is raining here today... and it was yesterday too... I just hope that this is not our spring rains... a little early... and not enough crops in the group...
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and hope to see you again soon... Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
Today is our daughters birthday... and I can still remember the day she was born... wow... a beautiful happening in our lives... a 9lb 9ounce beautiful girl... bright pink and so very perfect in all ways...
So Happy Birthday to our sweet, wonderful talented and loving daughter...
This is for you Heather Amy!!!
Happy Happy Birthday...
Heather Amy is also a tangler... and so is her beautiful son... and he is only 8 and starting to create his own tangles...
I love the flowing of this tangle and hope that she does too...
Have a Happy Birthday and Many Many many more....
Soooooooo this week with the Diva's challenge, Laura has given us the challenge of doing a piece with using only two tangles... Auroknot and Bunzo... I love doing the Auroknot... but bunzo is not a favorite yet... I keep on trying it... but just doesn't flow for me at all... ????
I had to control myself.. as the lower auroknot I started to let the lines flow... and then remembered that I could only do Auroknot and Bunzo.... oh boy... what a bummer that was... oh well... I will create a few others... so not to worry... LOL...
I wanted a free auroknot .... and also some that were a little more controlled... also some with 5 points... and some with 6... the flower of LIFE... I really did enjoy the time doing this TIA... and thanks again Laura for the challenge... as it was a challenge using the bunzo!!!!!
Hope that you all have a wonderful day... and enjoy what ever you do.... Thanks for stopping by and also for all the lovely comments you all leave... .
Happy Birthday sweetie... and enjoy this one...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Okay... I personally feel that the only way to learn something really so that it is part of your palette or thinking... is to do it over and over... so I have done a few more phicops....
So I did this one... with a piece of ribbon running thru the center...
and a piece of horse tail at the top...
I was going to add more.. but fell asleep at the table... and never went back to finish it...
So it is really not finished at all...
but here it is... LOL
This is a new Tangle done by B-rad the hubby of Laura at I am the Diva... and it is really quite interesting to do... each one takes on a personality of its own...
And so when I got home on Saturday.. after a FUN FILLED day at the Farmers Market...which was a great day!!!! WE met tons of new people... and I think I have quite a few new gals all excited about making Never Ending cards, Boxes with flowers... and all kinds of things... so it was a lot of fun... we also sold Sweet Potatoes and Garlic... so it was a great day...
But then last night I started to do this new Zendala that Erin of The Bright Owl gave us to play with... I really didn't have too much left to really create to my fullest... but did play for a while...
All in all this week was fun filled week... a blur in many ways... but fun. And now we start a new week... with a lot of fun things happening... If you haven't taken a look at my full blog.. I hope you will take a look and see my Alice in Wonderland calendar... I really had a lot of fun creating the different months.. and added a lot of tangling to some of the months...
Have a great week... and see you tomorrow with some more fun tangling pages... thanks for stopping by for a visit... and again many thanks for all the lovely comments that you all leave for me... I totally love them... and appreciate it greatly...
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie
MAY
This little rollie pollie Queen is just as cute as they
come... I had to have her standing on a heart... she just wanted too...
Mother's Day is in May... and she just looked like a motherly type...
this is the whole page...
I wanted to use this pretty vellum that I have had for years... I love it... and so I used half of it on this page...
All my pages by the way are 12 x 12... did I mention that last week???? So there is a lot of nice space to use...
I also wanted to use this die from Provo on this page... as it is regal as she is here...
I didn't want to color her a whole lot... as I wanted to see all the details in her dress.. and cute pantaloons...
I used a punch to create the ball of hearts... rows and rows of punching actually to create it...
The other shapes are Spellbinders..
The flowers are made from paper die flowers and I used four on each flower...
The large layered heart I used Spellbinders... and then the dotted swiss embossing folder...
The heart frame is from Estacy I think... I always forget that one... ??? They are so very difficult to use... but so very pretty...
JUNE
What a fun month this was... these PEOPLE FLOWERS are so very cute... I love each and every one of the them...
I had to add one of my own flowers along with a little bit of Tangling too... LOL...
I happen to love to tangle... so that is what got me really wound up about these digitals... the design is so very compatible with anything... and it went lovely with my tangling too...
Here is what the whole page looks like... I have a double decker golden dragonfly in the middle... which when photographed went a little wild in its own way... hopefully you will get the whole idea of this fun page as I show it to you in pieces...
This sunflower is just dancing across the top and bottom of this page... I love these happy faces on them too...
Wild isn't it...????
This one of course I drew... and I love the Perfect Pearls in the center of the flower... I used a lot in the centers of all the flowers... you just have to look closely...
I love the Zingers too... a tangle word for the pod like things... are they fun...
The Tangle that I Love... called Mi2... (me too.) and you can do so very much with this one... a wonderful background for this month of flowers and fun...
Although it doesn't allow the dragonfly to be photographed too well.. .but hey... again in real life... looks really good... sorry you can't see it in real life... of course I could hold a TEA PARTY... and you could all come...
Another picture of the happy faced sunflower and the dragonfly...
I guess you have seen enough of this dragonfly... but I love dragonflies... so I took another picture.. .
JULY
Now what Wonderland calendar would be complete with out the BOYS... you know who I mean... the Tweedles...
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.... are these not the cutest ones you have ever seen!!!!
I love them...
Truly so funny and just having a ball in their own way...
I wove the papers behind them... and of course had to tangle the letters of the month...
The star is also a tangle... and then I cut it out... it is all layered....
They are just dancing and carrying on all over the place.. I think when I go to sleep at night that all these characters come alive and have a lot of fun playing in the box that these pages are in.. . LOL... and that these boys never quite get back to where I have put them... but they are fun...
I used some Perfect Pearls on the tangled star too... I really love the way that this page came out... it was really fun to create...
AUGUST
When I saw these faces in these happy flowers... I knew exactly what I was going to do...
A Summer garden for Wonderland was an absolute necessity for this page... the trellis and all...
The faces are all so cute on these flowers... one of the nicest things with digitals is that you can make them any size your heart desires... so I made these to fit into my scheme of things for this page...
I also used some flowers... made from Baby wipes... and the background paper is also made with a lot of fun too... smearing inks and getting all messy is an all time favorite... so wow... what a fun page this is...
LOOK AT THESE CUTE FACES.....
Pink Hydrangeas are very rare... so I had to make this even more unique... and then the purple iris... how special is this...
Well... you will have to come back next week again to see the rest of this fun calendar...
I love these so very much... that I want you to see these up a little bit closer... Don't forget I am on dial up... so this is truly an act of love for Alice and all these fun digitals... so please take a look at Rick St. Dennis collection of digitals... thanks...
Thanks so very much for stopping by today for a visit... and hope to see you for the last four months... Have you stopped over at Rick's site to see all the GREAT Digis he has created???? Hope you will... there are some really great ones there...
See you next week... with the rest of the calendar...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
