    I love to doodle and zentangle. I also love to Bible/Scripture journal and do creative lettering. My biggest challenge is having time to sit down and just do it. You are inspiring me to create more and to maybe share them sometime... that's something I don't really have the confidence to do yet. And I really don't have a great place to share them, feeling silly to blog about it. I know there are communities out there, but I'm just not a part of any of them at this time.

    oh hon... you are so gifted my dear! I just got back from teaching at a workshop this weekend and it's awakened in me the need to share my testimony and give permission to other creatives who have been pushed back for years like myself... I told you before that it's like at your 40th birthday this lightbulb goes off and you realize you've hit middle-age and finally live life the way you were created to live and stop listening to those voices telling you otherwise.

    Your drawings are beautiful! I recently took up crochet, so I am using that as a creative outlet right now too.

    Lili! Such talent in your work. You create pieces that evoke emotion. Just gorgeous! Keep creating. I can't believe you thought you couldn't draw!?

    I used to doodle, kind of a doodle on one side, and then I would try to be symmetrical for the other side. Many looked like chalices or vases, lol! Haven't done that in years.

    Think everyone can doodle or zentangle.. The problem is that we often think it's not good enough.. I went through that phrase.

    Oh Li Li! I have loved watching your journey as you're getting over your fear of starting and trying. I think you are crazy creative and talented! I have just recently starting doodling and playing around in a "art" journal too. I received a zentangle book for Christmas and have started to play around a little with that. I'll post some pics tonight when I get home.

    Love your zentangles Heather!

    Heather, your zen tangles are awesome! What a bunch of talent we rub shoulders with here. I hope we get to see more of everyone's work! You should never be shy about your work. You are both extremely talented.
