Hooked on Embedded Letters!

Did I say that I was hooked on this process? It's so fun to do, and with a few simple steps, you end up with an ornate and (usually) elegant result.


I started with the letter outline. I planned for an open area on either side of the letter, so that I could add tangling "in front", Hollibaugh-style.




















 Here is the letter, outlined in pen, with the open areas.




 Here are two completed tiles. After I did the "H", I tried a heart which was fun. Anything is possible to embed.... "one stroke at a time"! 😍




This could become an obsession!

Our CZT Tribe in Jacksonville -


 Tim & I took a road trip in our motorhome to Jacksonville. I got together with our CZT group for lunch and art.  Later on Tim & I had a wonderful evening with Dorian Eng and her family, going out for dinner. It was one of those "perfect days"!

We started by visiting Doug Eng's photography studio. He is an incredible fine art photographer. His current "focus" is trees. He captures so many different moods and aspects in his works!






Doug's studio is one of a group of studios occupying two buildings.  Even the outside of the studio is artistic! 






We got together art Dorian's house for lunch, celebrating the Chinese New Year. This is the Year of the Pig!


A fun photo of Jo-Ellen and Brian!





Bijou made an appearance!






















Here are samples of Dorian's "tiny towers"!
