Christmas thoughts

Blips (in gold), Sp-Eye-Ryl, Rounding, Ixorus

Just a little noodling around today.  Completely random string.  Maria has been using gold in some of her Christmas tangles and the only gold pen I had was with a thick nib.  So I just did a touch of gold on the "Blips" tangle.  

She is doing the 12 days of Christmas and has such a lot of darling ideas for Christmas ornaments and cards and gift tags.  Some of the tags are designed to fit over wine bottles when you bring that to a party.  I am thinking of doing napkin rings this year.  

The Retreat to Paradise Zentangle Group is going to do a "Ensemble" project this winter.  I should get my kit in a week or so I think and then I bring it to the retreat in April.  Then Jo-Ellen, the group leader, somehow sorts them all out into ensemble designs with everyone's different tangles that fit together into a "surprise design".  Then she mails them back to us after the retreat is over.
