ACK!

I finally came up with an idea for our challenge.

I even made a sketch!!

Now I am thinking of using these...

(I have a new iPhone camera up...BeFunky... which is loads of fun!)

my collection of threads I use for hand applique!

Am I crazy!!!??? 

Probably!

Can I get it done in time!!!???

I have no idea!

But I hope so.

Two Tangles Together

So it happens that my family traveled from upstate NY

 to southern Florida for vacation this past 11 days!!

We had a wonderful time...

lots of great time in the sun

I posted lots and lots of photos on flickr!

And I was lucky enough to meet up with Gina for lunch one day!

We chatted about a lot of things over our huge vegan nut burgers!

It was so wonderful to finally meet a "Tangle" face-to-face! 

Gina left me with a wonderful postcard... a momento of our Canadian heritage (though we both live in the USA!) and some wonderful pieces of clay that I hope I will be able to add to my art sometime soon

(Thanks a lot Gina!)

Hope to meet more of you some day soon!

Quotable Balances

In case any of you are stuck for inspiration while working on our challenge, I did some Internet surfing and discovered some quotes that might just help some of us with creative solutions to this next challenge.  For example:

“The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”

– Carl Gustav Jung

“The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa - slightly off balance.” – Prince of Wales Charles

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.”

 – Thomas Merton

“Man always travels along precipices. His truest obligation is to keep his balance.”

 – Pope John Paul II
