Zendala Moments 07 and a humble homage to Margaret Bremner

It seems another month has gone by, and kids are preparing to go back to school. My retired friends and I will be together celebrating another year of NOT going back to school, another endless summer :) The Tour de France ended a few weeks ago, after keeping me glued to the TV every afternoon for two hours. I calculated that I spent 40 hours watching it. (I missed a day!) Luckily, I was watching the abbreviated version. That's about all my back and hips could stand!

I tried to use this time "productively", that is, for tangling! In particular, I chose to do a study of Margaret Bremner's tangles and tiles. Her work has always fascinated me as unique in its starkness, with lots of black and white blocking, but rich in textures, too. I still don't understand it, as you can see by my description! I added 56 tangles to my collection, and then started studying her strings. I've made a new gratitude journal, which is "pre-strung" now, thanks to Margaret's inspiration!

Project Pack 06 videos are out, with their "No mistakes" lessons. The supplies center around 2-tone tiles, simulating the ink-stained pages of a journal. These take me back to Bremner's bold tiles, with lots of black areas. Together, they inspired my Zendala Moments 07 tile. You can see where I spliced the two pieces together. Not intentional, but, oh, well--no mistakes!

And finally, another cartouche:

My daughter and grand-dogter ;)

Love and peace!
