A to Z Challenge 2016:  Zentangle-Inspired Art

I will be tangling my way through the alphabet.  Zentangle is a form of abstract art formed from tangles: patterns of simple lines and curves.  A traditional Zentangle is drawn on a 3.5 inch square tile.  Since my art is in a larger format, it is Zentangle-inspired.  I will be using the list of tangles on Tanglepatterns.com to journey through a Zentangle-inspired alphabet this month.  Each day I will choose at least one tangle that is new to me.

Personal Stuff
Nothing much.  My eyes are still bothering me although they are getting better.  Work is getting stressful as it's almost the end of the school year.  Good thing I have multiple hobbies to help me relax :)

Interesting Stuff I Found on the Internet
I have not been on the internet much this week, only when necessary, as my eyes are still bothering me.  Allergies!

I know that I did not complete the A to Z challenge in the allotted time, but I plan to continue until I complete the whole alphabet.  My allergies have limited my drawing and screen time, so I will take my time and get it done.  For R, I chose the tangles Ragz and Rashell.

April Focus Projects
I didn't choose any this month.  I guess the A to Z challenge was my project.


Year-long Goals Progress
1.  Each month, choose three projects to focus on: one personal, one gift, one to sell
didn't happen this month

2.  Each month, choose one project from my Pinterest boards
I did not make progress on this goal this month.

3.  Each week, stick to my blogging schedule: Tuesday Tips and Tricks, Thursday Peek in my Art Journal, Friday FO
My schedule got messed up for the challenge but I did post pretty regularly, until my allergies took over

4.  Teach a crochet class
No progress yet.

5.  Send all birthday gifts on time
April birthday gift was sent on time
