You wouldn't appreciate photos from today, the skies are grey, the wind has been blowing hard throughout the whole weekend. Yesterday was also a wet day. It has definately been a day for the great indoors.
I tried a little zentangle-inspired art again; it's been some time since I've dabbled with it and hope to practice more often.
the original inspiration taken from this Dover image, Nature Stencil Designs
a different backdrop, a different colour hue
Also, a little graphics play making this globe. I tried adding snow
effects and while they looked good enough static, do you think I could
make them get moving?! So now snow. Well I doubt these little birds
would look so cheery if there had been...snow.
The base is an original from Mary-Lou, an 'object' created and shared long ago with the PhotoImpact group online. The glass globe also from that group but I don't know who to credit it to now.
Graphics Fairy is my source for the French Postcard backdrop, also the sweet blue-birds I'd chosen from Karen's site also.
Now I'm thinking it's time for a coffee, but may be .... make up a little batch of fruity rock-cakes first. Wonder if they're a universal morning or afternoon-tea treat?
Later addition: Did she really go making the rock-cakes? I did! After
taking the photo though I added a little butter, and having now with a
mug of tea.

A mug of tea and rock cakes ... what a lovely thing to do on a cold wet and windy day.
Your pretty lace puff-fish is just gorgeous.
What ever Zentangle is ... it is wonderful. I can't even imagine how you made the fish, but I love it. I love the birds in the globe as well. And, yes, thank you, I will have tea with you (except I am drinking coffee). What a fun visit ... Thanks

I really like the first one. I picture you like my wife, hunched over a computer for hours working on a single photograph. But she enjoys it and that is all the matters. Me? I'd grow tired of it fast.
i can't say i've ever had rock-cakes. :) i really love that fish! beautiful!
That is wonderful. So intricate. Right now, I'm having a hard time imagining it being too cold outdoors! Thanks for sharing your work!
These are so beautiful to see Carole... and baking to.
I love your mug xx
Hugs Drew xx
We are having a very cloudy, rainy, chilly day here too Carole. Very Fall like.
The fish is really cool! I can't figure out how you did that.
Wow...how creative Carole! I like your work and your coffee cup. Er...tea cup.:)
Yeah Carol! You Zentangle fish looks like lace -gorgeous!
Paper Hugs,

Oh, that last shot with the bird coffee cup is just so sweet!
I stand in awe of your zentangles. At first I thought it was a crocheted lace creation.
The rock cakes look great. I wonder if we make them under a different name? I shall have to Google them.
Hope you enjoyed your "cuppa"

Your quite a creative gal, Carole. I love the fish and globe.
Your fruity Rock-cakes look so scrumptious ~:)
Wow, Carole, I'm speechless. What a beautiful Zentangle you made!! It has a lace effect. I like the tangles you used. You are so talented. Hope to see more from you soon.
Bird and fish works...love them both. A good collection.
Very fascinating art you have here. Really love this fish
