Last night I started to play and I drew four tiles on a piece of paper that was 8.5 x 11.... and then this is what happened...
The four tiles sort of came together and created one TIA...
I really had fun doing this one too... I think I like working with larger pieces of paper and creating a whole sheet of fun... vs a small tile... just my own personal feeling...
Hope you have a fun day... and create something fun too...
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... off to get some things done..
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
I will be teaching at the Tryon Arts and Crafts School in September..
For all the details please go to their site...
In this class you will learn how to make a box... actually boxes of any size... and on the top a medallion and flower..
BUT you will also learn how to make the fun card called the Never Ending Card...
A really fun fun day of learning and meeting friends and new people...
Hope you will join into the fun...
See you there...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
I think I had told you that I made some boxes to give away at a store this past week-end... when Sande and I went to play... with some other friends... well I gave a box to all my friends and then past them out to everyone else all day long... I loved doing it... and quite a few people really enjoyed them greatly...
I am only showing you a few of the colors... as I used all of them... even pretty yellow ones... tan and black too.... but here are the blues one... I love all of them... each one has a different medallion, different backgrounds, all kinds of fun things.... my computer will not allow me to write next to the pictures at this point... but as you can see there are some orange ones, Plum and pink here too...
I love making boxes... can you tell that yet??? That is a huge DUH!!!! I think that the other night was the topper.. I dreamt of making a huge medallion almost 3 feet wide... and was looking for a nice box to put it on... LOL... how silly... but our daily life filters into our dream state... so what the heck...
hope you enjoy these.. and that you have a super nice day, and enjoy creating something special...
Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie
So many people ask me how I get all that I get done, done!!!! Well it's not hard... you multi task.. and I do that very well.. all the time.. especially well I guess.... as I have my son and his family with us now for the week... and with 4 extra people it is not easy.
So here are my tangles... done at all different weird times...
This one I started off with .... wanted to do a vine climbing up a ribbon.... and then the vine was grounded... but the ribbon wasn't....
Since the Diva has us tying two pencils together... I tried using a hair clip... and it works so very good... I didn't have any more control.. but did have fun...
This one I love it when it got to his stage and didn't want to do anything more...
At this point the four younger people we have staying here... including our son and daughter in law.. all started to come out for breakfast... but I decided that since they do this kind of thing every other day of their life... they would be totally capable to doing it today too... so I tangled... love it...
I think you can tell.. I was so very happy... they were all there... doing the breakfast thing... YEAH!!!!
I finished one and went right onto the next one... time.. what a wonderful thing... now for something faster than dial up an I would almost totally satisfied.. and will when our daughter comes up on Friday...
This little bird, is a bird of peace... I felt like this bird this morning as I sat in my chair having my morning tulsi tea... (that I have add my daughter in law grew it... brought up bouquets of it... and shared with great amounts of LOVE... so very nice...
So I was thinking love, peace and feeling GREAT... and this little bird perched it's self on my tangle..
Then I started to make strings... with my two pencils and hair clip... and couldn't ' stop..
I used a pencil... and then shaded with a pencil so this tile is 100% pencil..
Another one done in pencil... and I added a stronger pencil at places t hat needed more shadow... love it..
Well thanks for stopiing by for a visit... and hope to see some of your work soon...
Love, Light adn peace.....Bonnie
The Challenge this week that the Diva has stated... is to tie two Pens/pencils together to create the String... I love doing this... To me it is sheer fun... so here is my Challenge tile for this week...
Wild lines... but so much fun filling in around them... I also even filled in some of them... LOL... jsut got a little carried away...
It reminds me of after all the presents are open... and the mess on the floor is ribbon, paper and all kinds of wrappings... what fun is that too..
Speaking of which... We are having out kids all visit this week... and so we are going to celebrate all the 'boys' birthdays... our son in law is in May... and our grandson in July and our son in September... my hubby in October... so we are having a Birthday Party... right down to pin the tail on the donkey... of which I have to draw yet... LOL.. what fun we are going to have...Happy Birthday to everyone out there.. no matter when your birthday is.. Happy Birthday...
This past week-end I gave out 44 boxes for everyones Birthday... it is a time to celebrate no matter for what... Happy what ever day...
Hope you have a very enjoyable week... and create lots and lots of pretty and fun things... create from the heart and enjoy it all..
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and I will see you soon...
Love, Light and Peace..Bonnie
Weekly Challenge #127: "DuoTangle v. VII: Cirquital/Opus"
This week is a wild week already... I have been trying for a long long time to get an Etsy store open... and I have finally done it...I hope to get some items in there tomorrow or the next day to sell... That is quite an accomplishment with this 'wonderful' dial up... LOL.. it took 12 tries to get the banking info into place.. and a few more times for each of the other things... but I finally did it... Now for the pictures... which should be fairly easy... as I can do it for my blog fairly easy... I have learned not to panic when I am in the middle of doing something and I am not connected... as the line is undone by people moving faster around me...my fastest speed is 44kbps... that is slower than a snail moves... LOL... I guess that is why I draw so very many snails... right???
Anyway... today the Diva has given us a Duo Tangle to do... and so here is mine...
I have been on the computer all day and my mind is not clear yet... I will try again a little later maybe... but then again... maybe I will fall asleep!!!!
Today was the first day in many that we have seen the sun all day long... and I have to say I am a little bit tired... but totally did enjoy the sun being here again... Glenn also got a pickup truck load of garlic pulled up... now to get it all tied up and dried... it is very muddy... and some of the garlic bulbs are the size of my fist... HUGE... During all this rain we did lose a lot of the beds to the heavy rains... and the sweet potatoes really got damaged a lot... so we are very upset over that... but we will hopefully have enough... we had such a giant crop last year... we are still eating them...
Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and I really have been trying to post a couple of times during the week... but things keep on coming up... and not allowing me to do all that I want to do...
See you soon...and enjoy creating...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
I had so very much fun making these fun little boxes...
All in Black and White... very formal and yet so very there...
Just love them...
Okay.. the process... a lot of times I just do things without thinking... and this was truly one of those times...
I had just tangled and then I put the pictures into the computer and then when I went to 'shrink' them... they went into the wrong program and I made tea bag tiles out of the pictures... wow... what a nice mistake... so I had to see what would happen with them... and so I made a FEW boxes and but the medallions on the top... pretty snazzy HUH???
I really love the way they look...
What do you think..???
Here is a family portrait of them all... LOL... I love these little boxes... so much fun to make and give as cute little gifts...
You can find the directions on how to make the boxes on my blog kre8tivekits.blogspot.com... they are fun easy and as soon as you learn to make them... you will me making 100's of them... believe you me...
I think this one is my very favorite... I have made a couple exactly like this one... as it is so nice...
The black little half pearls make it too...
Tell me that isn't striking looking... I love it... so very black and white... can you see the little hearts in there too...??? How cute is that...
I will be publishing the tiles soon too... are you interested in having them too??? Just let me know...
Had to show you some close ups of the tiles etc... so really fun...
When you see them in real life, they are really prettier... but they are pretty here too... at least I think they are...
No that is a little bit closer for you to see.... love it.. some of the tiles almost have the look of money... just sort of.... not really.... although some of the lighter colored ones do have a greenish tint to them.. .LOL... well... it is not money at all... just a lot of fun...
These are two little ones... they are only a couple of inches across... so very cute... a word inside... like I love you... and the gift is complete...
A little bit closer yet...
This is my favorite ... it actually puffs up in the center of the box..
This is a 4x4 box.. and very regal in its' own right...
Same box... just a different view...
Well that is it for now... we are still getting rain... and even though it is not raining right this minute... it feels like it is going to.... so hold on soil... no more washing away...
Thanks for stopping in for a visit... I am still here making things... and having fun doing it all... my studio looks like a mess plus... but hey... no one is going to see it this way... so no a huge problem at all... it is my space afterall... right???
Enjoy what you are doing... and have a great day...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Last night I sat down to tangle a little bit prior to settling in for the night... and when I open this one little container... I found all kinds of tangling that I had never finished... or even posted... so here are a few of them... they were for past challenges... so I have posted them on the DIVA'S site as well...I guess that sometimes I get so relaxed that I totally forget all about what I have done... LOL.. .so very true.
I have loved this type of tangle for years... and I finally sat down and did it... so much fun... thanks for the push Maria... really a great one...
LOVE your book too... you and Rick really put in all the love into this one... that is for sure... LOVE it and respect the honesty of it too...
Sometimes when you see a new tangle you just have to try and do it.. this one looked easier than it is... I will have to practice this one... and then it will be second nature... but for now... UGH... a little more effort is needed on my part...
Birdies' feet... LOL.. .running around a few dew drops... or paisleys ... just fun..
sometimes I am not really sure where I am going with some things... this is it... just this on a tile!!!!
I had started this one a long time ago... and then finished part of it.. and then finally finished it... sort of neat... in a funny way...
Another one???? Still can't remember doing some of these... funny how the mind remembers what it wants to... LOL... anyway... a fun tangle
I really never finished this one... maybe someday I will get around to finishing all these undone ones...
In my spare time...
Have you ever had a thumb drive not copy correctly..??? Well I am trying to repair a file from that happening.. .and it is about ready to drive me crazy.. . if you have any answers for this.. please let me know... the data seems to be sliding??? and not saving it correctly... weirdest thing...
Well have a great day... stay dry if it is raining by you... it is thinking of doing it again today... we have really had enough rain now... but we don't need more drought either... a balance of weather would really be great...
Think Love, and send it to yourself first.. and then out to the world... we need to help the People of the world think love... and be kind and loving to each other...
Thanks for taking your precious time to look at my blog... and thanks so very much for all the kind comments... wish I could return them all... but I have now been over 2 hours just posting this blog... so to down load just one blog takes over 1.5 hours... so I just sort of pass on it... someday when they put in the lines so that we can have high speed internet, I will be returning the much love that pours into comments on this blog... thanks again... I love you greatly...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
In the 60's I was screaming world peace also... and it seems that everything we do in life comes in cycles... and here I am again screaming WORLD PEACE NOW! ! ! ! WE are in need of this action NOW... if each and every person that sees this blog, thinks of LOVE for 5 minutes a day, the world would start to heal... that is not very much time in the course of our day... If you really love life, spend all day thinking of LOVE.. send it to everyone on the face of this wonderful Earth Mother... unconditionally, and in all ways... LOVE... simple enough.. please help us all... we all need to be able to live in PEACE... too many horrible things are going on all over the world these days... and it is not necessary at all...
So my Tangle this week for the Diva's Challenge is two fold...
Laura created some wonderful tangles... they are truly wonderful... I don't have that much time to create tangles this week... but the thought behind my is HUGE... Laura asked us to incorporate a stencil in and around the tangles... the stencil I used was random numbers... representing the hours of the day that we need to think of LOVE... the seconds on the face of a clock that people are suffering all over the world, due to wars, and unnecessary unlove... so we need to think LOVE all the time... send it out to everyone..
Time is escaping us... and the hours are randomly leaving too.... think and live in love... now...
Thanks for stopping by here for a visit... and I do hope that you are able to help in the effort to create the healing of our world...
Hope you hve a loving day... filled with LOVE in all ways... and that everyone around you is able to share in that love too...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
Sometimes we look at things in a way that we shouldn't... like this rain... wow... I have been screaming for years about the drought... and finally we have rain... lots of it... I have been told that even though it has been raining for weeks now on a regular basis... that we are still 9 inches below normal... that is how bad it has been here... but now wow... way too much... hopefully it will balance out soon... it has rained off and on all day today... and the sun has also come out off and on too...
So Glenn, my sweet hubby, went out on a mushroom walk... and this is what he found...
Chantarelle's!!! WOW... they are the BEST ever... so I decided to make a really gourmet dinner for us with these elegant beauties...
Have you ever had them???
They are so very special...
This is what they look like up close...
And this is the under side of them...
Well... I wanted to make it a nice simple meal... but ever so special... so I sauteed a shallot, green scallions, just a couple, a few fresh cloves of garlic that was harvested yesterday... and the Chantarelle's... Then when I felt they were ready... I added Artichoke Hearts... and mean while, Glenn was cooking some Rice noodles... we don't eat wheat or anything with Gluten... and these particular rice noodles are wonderful... cook up like they were wheat... and are yummie too...
Then I shredded some raw milk cheddar, and sliced an avocado ...
When the noodles were on the plate... I put some of the chantarelle's, and artichoke on the noodles... and then added the sliced avocado and then put some shredded cheese on the top... oh wow... what a special treat this was... simple, and elegant...
WE totally enjoyed this simple elegant meal to the fullest... and to think that these beautiful mushrooms were growing on our land is another thing again... we will be able to harvest a lot of them this coming week... thank you Earth Mother for all the bounty you give to us... we love it.
Well...
I wanted to share with you some tea bag folding... I love doing these kinds of things... actually I become very addicted to tea bag folding... as I really love the outcome and the act of creating with the medallions...
If you are interested in knowing more about this art form... please go to my other blog called Medallion Art I have quite a few classes available for you to partake in... it is a fun art... and will help to make all kinds of projects POP!!!
I think that this box is really special... as are about 30 others I have made... LOL.. I told you I was addicted to this... and I am...
I will show you a few more next week... I have them on the other computer and am waiting for a modem, so I can connect to the internet with this lap top... never a dull moment around here... EVER...
Thanks for stopping by here for a visit... I love you for just stopping in for a few minutes... and hope you have enjoyed my babble... LOL...
have a wonderful day tomorrow... Sunday... enjoy every minute of it... 100% ....
Love, Light and Peace .... Bonnie
Oh I know I have been very lax about coming on here the past two weeks... I have had so many things that had to be done... so maybe now I can show you some of the things that I have been doing...
I have to take pictures... but I have been having fun to say the least...
Also finally got around to scanning in some tangles that I have done over the past couple of weeks too... not that many, as my hands have been creating other things too... (later on those pictures... )
I did this while talking with our son... it was a very good conversation for me... and I totally enjoyed it... very positive and hopefully it will come to happen for us all very soon... so this TIA is a very good one for me... and it is also for the Diva's Challenge this week where she is asking for us to create the Tangle called Birdie Feet.... I really didn't know what I was going to do at first... in fact I did a couple of tiles using it ... and didn't like them at all.. a first time for everything... and finally I decided to use it as a border design... and I love it... Very fluid and free flowing with curved lines and also with solid straight ones... a new house for the snail... in so many ways...
These other TIA's have been done at odd times... and I really can't remember when I even did them... but they were fun.. that much I can remember... and they also helped me to relax and get to sleep.. which when I am creating, sleep doesn't come easy... LOL... I cn stay up all night long... and then when I see the sun rising... oooops... I better go to bed and sleep... just a little bit... LOL... this makes for very weird days...
When I was working on this one... it reminded me of looking into one of those Easter eggs... and finally you see the little Spring scene... with the rabbit and a few little eggs, etc...
The ins and outs of life... yikes... what a fun piece this was... I love this tangle... and always enjoy creating it... a really fun and challenging tangle that you never know what is going to happen with it...
I also have started to get some things back into my life that have been missing over the past 10 years... one of them is that I am again playing my Native American cedar flute... and it feels so very good... so I had to do a little tangle for the Native in me... a little feathers and some smug will do the spirit so very much ... and then add the music from the flute.. wow I am in heaven...
I do hope that you are able to please yourself with positive actions and release the things that are not to your liking... add new things, make changes, and be free with growing... things I am working on... and it feels so very good.
Thanks for taking a look and stopping by for a visit... and hope that your 4th of July is and was a happy one... and hope that if you live in Canada that your Canada Day was also a good one...
All these rains have created so very much flooding... all over the world... hopefully we will all be able to pull our selves into a positive space and move into a dryer life style... think balance and harmony for the Earth Mother...
Have a great day... Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
