Tangle tango!!

Yes more zentangles!! I can't get them out of my head and they keep me up at night.  I am still working on that big one.. here is another in progress pic:


I think I am almost done with it before I start working on the shading.. my Faber Castle "Shades of Grey" markers are supposed to be here tomorrow - so hopefully I will have them to finish off the shading with :-)

I have also done some zentangle postcards for a swap on swapbot.  I was VERY pleased with them - hope my partners will be.  I did them on 140 coldpress watercolor paper:


I had some scraps of that fancy paper left - so I made these bookmarks:


Here is a swap package I got in a gnome swap from craftster.. I have already hung my awesome birdhouses:



I also got these postcards in from a great online website.. I got all these (each box has 30-40 cards) for $20 and free shipping.  I had ordered them because I wanted to build our trading stash.  But I loved them all and don't know how I will part with them.  Only a couple have duplicates!! For now I will happily have them in my stash:



I have joined some penpal sites and have letters to write in addition to a million other things that need to be done around here.. until next time ..

Much love and God bless!!
