Creations By Crazed

As you may know, I am always into some kind of crafty thing, often several at a time. Started with drawing and painting when I was a child. I learned sewing and embroidery in school. Done pencils, pastels, oils, and watercolors. Hand beaded ornaments. Hand-knotted jewelry. Crochet. Did cakes a couple years ago, but the fondant work has turned out to be too physically demanding. Recently started Quilting, but more in a patchwork or a crazy quilting format. I don't know if I will ever get into the fine detail piecing where you have to be exact or everything will not fit together, but I do have a beautiful Block of the Month kit that I found dirt cheap that I intend to do soon (may be my one and only!) And most recently (2 weeks ago recently!) I have discovered Zentangle. All the artsy fartsy stuff I get into seem to tie together in their skills and crossover in some way. Perhaps someday I will do a Zentangle Crazy Quilt! (That's highly likely!)

So I decided that the first project to document on this blog will be a tangle I have been working on this week. You probably know I don't just dabble in something crafty, I have to go in whole hog! So here we go!

I was inspired by a YouTube video Black and Red Zendoodle by Tiffany Lovering (credit where credit is due!) Here is the link to that if it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCRj3WPpvyc

So I wanted to remember how this progresses.

Initial layout. I did with pencil first, but mostly stayed with what I had drawn. Only exception is that there was a really ugly flower nested on the curve of the large swirl. Glad I ditched that. Especially as then it left opportunity for background fill.
