Fruited bread pudding

I came up with a new recipe tonight. It got rave reviews:

Fruited bread pudding

mix 1.5c milk
3 eggs
1t vanilla
5 pkts truvia-or your favorite sweetener
pour over 6 slices of cubed Pepperidge farm blueberry swirl bread (Or cinnamon bread)
Let bread soak 10-15 min add fruit-I used about 2/3 c black raspberries, 2/3c blueberries & 1 diced peach. Bake at 325 for about 45 min.

Kracken Foreplay tentacle tickle

I don't always name my pieces, but as I was doing this one, 2 names jumped into my brain- "Kracken Foreplay" & "Tentacle Tickle".

Zentangle revalation-you don't have to use every color in the box

2 new tangles. The first has too many colors for my tastes, so for the second, I limited myself to 4 colors-red, blue, black & metallic gold. I like it much better.

Latest zentangle

I've been laid up due to an infected cat bite (My fault-I stepped on a sleeping cat's tail) This is my latest.

The last snake in Ireland Diptych

I finished these tonight-a diptych to be framed separately & hung together (5 X 7" each). The snake, weaving through the loops reminded me of celtic knots and so brought to mind the myth about St. Patrick banishing the snakes from Ireland. In my version, the last snake was too tangled up to leave. The bright yellow in the loops scanned as white. Non photo yellow?

I finished this one tonight. 8X10" It has some metallic colors which don't quite come across in the scan.

"Dance of the Ammonite" on Etsy

I decided to put this one on Etsy for $15.00 to see what happens. That works out to about $3.00/hour-not union wages, but would keep me in supplies.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/127341121/dance-of-the-ammonite-8x10-marker-pencil

White on black Zentangle

Yesterday's tangle. White Gelly roll pen on black matte board.

zentangles redux

 Some of these are accented with metallic gelly roll pens, but the metallic effect does not photograph well for me.

Bottom left has a name-"Coming unraveled"

I'm obsessed with these things

New batch of Zentangles. The first 3 have been named-"Storm at sea", "Tonsilectomy" &
"Is it love or just lust?" I had to explain the last one to Charlie because he didn't recognise the sperms. The second 3 includes 1 mini (2.25") & 1 with color added.

 

More Zentangles

 I'm really getting obsessed with Zentangles. Here are some more in chronological order.

I found a great tin to keep my supplies in. The top is like a frame, so I used some green card stock & did a tangle for the top. I accented it with silver metallic ink-what fun!!!

Zentangle

I've been trying to teach myself to tangle using 2 books & youtube. These are my first attempts.
