Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season with lots of good food and family and friends. We had a quiet but nice time.
For the new year I wish for lots of time for creativity. And I hope you will have the same, too! So lets get started right away!
Here in Germany we begin the new year with lots and lots of fireworks, so I’ve selected two patterns that remind me of fireworks.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
It’s been a while since I completed my Weight Loss Opus tile and I wanted to take this opportunity to not only show it off but also give you the chance to get it. That’s right! I’m selling the tile on eBay!
I started this project a while ago in order to lose that little bit of extra weight I just didn’t like on myself. So whenever I felt hungry but just knew it wasn’t really possible (because I had just eaten), I went and tangled instead (time permitting). The result was not only a 3 pounds lighter me, but also my very first Opus tile. It’s huge and it’s beautiful!
Here it is:
I tangled the whole tile with an 01 Micron, shaded with pencil, and then added a few highlights with Gelly Roll at the end.

I’m glad I actually managed to catch the glittery effect on the photographs! 🙂
Now, I announced before that I am selling this tile. As of right now you can find it on ebay.de – Item number: 201488386732. It will be on sale until New Years Eve, 11:00 am. And since it is Christmas time, I will be donating the proceeds to a charity organization helping refugees here in Hamburg.
Once again, I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you all for the Pattern Mixer on January first!
Thirteen is my lucky number. Always has been. When I was in school, I’d always get good grades back on friday the 13th. This day was always a bit different. That’s why I’m taking the opportunity of the 13th Pattern Mixer to do things a little different.
Dear Tanglers,
a few weeks ago I told you about a little experiment I started: Weight loss through Zentangle. Today I’d like to tell you a bit about my experiences so far.
As you can see from the photographs, I haven’t tangled quite as much as I had hoped. The problem seems to be that I usually want to eat when I’m busy doing something else – which makes it hard to go and tangle! And sometimes I just plain forget. Continue reading Weight loss through Zentangle Part II
