Oh yeah. Love that quote by H.G. Bohn. It sums up exactly what I've been feeling about not-doing art. If ya don't do it, it just doesn't get done. (Bohn said it better) Why haven't I been doing art...and for so long? Because I moved house. And naively, I had no idea that it would take me much longer to UN-pack than it ever did to pack. and move. I'm still not done, but I just can't wait any longer to start doing at least a tiny bit of art. So today I managed to produce one Zentangle®: Wow, it has been so long since I've done any of this work on my own that a blank tile was really intimidating. All I knew was I wanted "something round." And I've been saving tangles I liked when I've seen them on the net. I started off with Banana Braid, which was new to me, and then went to a "mac and cheese" (comfort) tangle by Carole Ohl, and then tried another new one. Of course, I couldn't resist fiddling with these on my iPhone. I tried out 2 different colorways above, on the iPhone. Ahem. So, in conclusion, what I've learned is: If you wait, all that happens is that you get older. (Mario Andretti) Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today. I meant to tell you that yesterday, but... (Stephen Colbert) Comments are closed.
