Spirals and Dots

I can spiral and dot all day long. What is it about them that I like so much?

Catching Up

Here are tiles number 11 and 12.  Back to work this week after a 3 week break.  I lost track of time, and I'm running behind on posting them online. I'll be posting today's tile a bit later.

I Could Have "Zenned" All Night...

The process of creating these tiles really is meditative.  I feel like I'm learning to color outside the lines. No limits. No boundaries.  I have no destination in mind.  I just let things flow randomly.  It's amazingly liberating.

As a Montessori teacher, my colleagues and I always say, "It's the process, not the result, that's important."  Engaging in the creation of these daily tiles, it is driven home to me yet again...It is the process that is important.

The time spent on the tiles has quickly become a sacred time during which I re-center and feel grounded.  I do my tiles mostly in the evening. After a hard day's work, I am nurtured and calmed by the tangles. It really is Zen.

Let's Tangle

I can't get over how much I'm enjoying doing these! It feels so 'freeing'!

Looks like a butterfly metamorphosing into a heart...or a moth that has a heart-shaped growth on its back.
