It's an absolutely fantastic sunny day today, but I took this photo early this morning before my walk, when the sun isn't on this side of the house...hence the photo not up to scratch.
Note the Intense pencils are still in pristine condition...untouched....but I hope to remedy that later today.
For peeps that follow me you'll be relieved to hear I tackled the ironing (finally) so I'M FREE today! Yeeha!
Here's some of the work that's been created from this space....
I'll be making them into cards during the week.
This photo was taken last night so apologies for the quality of shot...It is on white paper....honest!
I was missing the Magpie that flew the nest so I had to draw another.....
Are you confused or new to the term WOYWW?
Then nip over to Julia's place at Stamping Ground where all will become clear.
You'll have a great time and see some amazing art, creations and work desks throughout the world...but beware it can be addictive!
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone....keep smiling: D
Awesome, Neesie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlene,
DeleteHave a great week ;D
Oh Neesie I love your drawings, would love to see an owl please?
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Thanks for popping by ~ have a great week. ;D
Great zentangles, as usual! Are you ever tempted to colour them in?
ReplyDeleteRosA #40
Yep RosA...you read my mind because I think my next design will have some colour. Whoohoo!
DeleteI've treated myself to some Intense pencils that I just have master now ;D
Thanks for popping by my place ~ have a wonderful WOYWW!
Enjoy!
Hi Neesie, well done on getting the ironing done! Love the turtle and the magpie is amazing, it will be so interesting to see one of your pics coloured in. I am waiting now with great anticipation. Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, I live in hope..........Anne x #57
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, yep colour beckons....
DeleteI'm surprised you're still up and awake never mind in anticipation!
You need to get to bed missy!
Thanks for popping over to my place and leaving a lovely comment.
Take care ;D
Enjoy you're desk hopping ~ have fun!
your drawings are wonderful, love the turtle!await to see how they look in colour.
ReplyDeletehave a great week.
ps i have some nearly a year anniversary blog candy! trace x 58
Hi Trace,
DeleteI've actually had a play with the intense pencils this afternoon but feel I've got a lot to learn...but then it's all about the journey isn't it?
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be over to check out your desk soon.
Have fun with WOYWW!
ah simply awesome again Neesie over at your place and can so see why you had to redraw the magpie he really is a cracker, hopefully this one wont fly the nest huh?? thanks so much for sharing Shaz in oz.x #50
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Shaz in Oz ;D
DeleteThanks for your lovely comment. It's great to receive such positive feedback.
I do have visitations rights to the first Magpie...just to keep a check on him and he's doing fine in his new home.
There's a Kookaburra coming this way soon so watch this space as 'they' say (I always wonder who are the 'they' when I say or write that?)
Anyway....must keep busy because there's a lot to visit.
Have lots of fun with WOYWW ~ enjoy!
Love your zentangles (even though I do not like magpies - had to bang on the window the other day when two of them were attacking my blackbird) and still think you should try turning some of your designs into rubber. Am sure they would sell.
ReplyDeleteWhat's that interesting bag on your desk with all the handles please - nosy me wants to know.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #21 xx
Oh blackbirds are my favourite Neet, but I have to admit that the maggies here are very different, especially in their songs and chorkling. They seem to be very family orientated too.
DeleteI remember the UK maggies can be quite aggressive, so I don't blame you for knocking on the window. I'd have been running outside waving and shouting...aren't you glad you don't live next to me eh?
I'm so glad you mentioned the designs potential to be turned to rubber, because I was trying to remember who had suggested that previously and couldn't think. Sorry.
I'm not sure where would do that? Can you make a suggestion? I'm wanting to take up your advice...and apologise for not listening earlier! You can't get the staff...can you Neet?
Anyway...on to the bag...well in fact it's actually three. They are felt bags that have a clear plastic lining. I bought quite a few and use them for gifts. The best being around Christmas time...I gave Poinsettia's as gifts and the bags really set them off well.
Any other suggestions for their use? I'm listening this time ;D
Have a great desk hop ~ have fun fellow WOYWW!
Gosh your Zentangles are a knockout!
ReplyDeleteJudy #82
But it's only round 1 Judy....I need to do so much more!
DeleteColour included if only I could master the pencils. Work in progress shall we say ;D
Thanks for popping by and leaving a great comment ~ Have fun with WOYWW!
Superb art work as always. I'm loving your bag too, fab colour. Glad ironing was done, always one of those jobs I actually enjoy (yeah I know, mad!) but one I'm finding increasingly difficult to manage. Ah well. Hope you're good? Take care, enjoy this week's snooping extravaganza! Zo xx 74
ReplyDeleteHi Zo,
DeleteHow's life with you? All good I hope but I must question you liking ironing!!!! Come on...that can't be right? ;D
As I mentioned to Neet above...the bag is actually three. Very handy gift bags or whatever if I could come up with more craftive ideas?
Let's not mention the football eh?
Have lots of fun desk hopping too ~ enjoy! xox
Yeah football not so good, oh well my beloved Bristol Rovers will be back in action in August! Am ok, going back to hospital next week to see consultant as things have deteriorated over the last 3 years since last saw him. Never mind still smiling as always, & yes I know I'm mad! Lol Take care Zo xx
DeleteWow!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica...have a great week ;D
DeleteI am emailing your page to my friend who has just started doing zentangles, she will be inspired I am sure.
ReplyDeleteIroning Neesie ! I can't even get as far as pulling in the washing off the line
Lynn & The Doodly Birds (76)
Oh how kind Lynn, I hope your friend has as much fun and enjoyment as I do by drawing 'tangles.
DeleteTell your friend I'd love to see what she creates ;D
I had a giggle at your washing comment...I know that feeling too.
Say 'hi' to the Doodly Birds...I'll be visiting soon.
Have a great week ~ have fun!
Amazing work as ever.... am totally in awe. Have a good week, Helen #26
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment Helen.
DeleteHave a great week too ~ enjoy WOYWW!
Oh I know I say this every week, but your work is absolutely stunning! So so talented,
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW
Zoe #54
Hehe...and do you know something Zoe?...I never get tired of hearing it! ;D
DeleteThanks for stopping by ~ Happy WOYWW!
Hi Neesie To quote another turtle 'Your tangles are totally awesome dude!' I have been zentangling this week as I want to use it in my class this month. It is very addictive and I aspire to create something as awesome as you.....one day! :-) WOYWW Hugs from Helen 89
ReplyDeleteLOL that's sooooooooooooo funny Helen,
DeleteI loved that film!
So you 'tangle too...I find it very relaxing and addictive. I'm intrigued about your class and I'm sure you are will have no problem drawing like me ;D
Thanks for popping by my place and I hope to visit your space soon.
Happy WOYWW ~ enjoy!
Wow your artwork is amazing!! You are one talented lady for sure and I am your newest follower. xx
ReplyDeleteWhoohoo! Hi Sian and welcome.
DeleteI hope you enjoy your time here because I really enjoy having you
visit.
Thanks for your lovely comment....I appreciate it ;D
Have a great week!
I love it! I really do! The turtle is so special... so alive. Your style is gorgeous Neesie - I think you should be so proud of yourself! You have inspired me immensely! Keep em coming!! xx
ReplyDeleteAww thank you...you're making me blush :^)
DeleteYou say such lovely things...which I really appreciate.
I'm truly speechless....which trust me doesn't happen very often!
Have a wonderful week ;D
Beautiful artwork as ever Nessie and love them whether black and white or coloured - it's the detail that grabs me.

Hi Ann,
DeleteI'm so glad to hear that because I am wondering about the lack of colour, but there again I do love black and white.
Thanks for popping by my place and I hope to visit soon. ;D
Have a great productive week ~ have fun with WOYWW!
OMW! These are amazing!
ReplyDeleteSarah x
Thanks Sarah, I love drawing them...so I'm a happy bunny.
DeleteHave a great week ;D
Sorry Sarah, I've just noticed your my newest follower!
DeleteThank you ~ it's great to have you and I hope you enjoy your visits ;D
Well done on tackling the ironing (there's some here if you feel like a bit more - lol!). Gorgeous zentangle. Thanks for letting us have a peep into your workspace today. Hope you have a good week. Hazel, WOYWW #27 x
ReplyDeleteDo you know something Hazel?...I'd love to pop over and help you with your ironing but I'll be watching paint dry!
DeleteThanks for visiting my place and leaving such a lovely comment.
Have a great week too...enjoy WOYWW!
Gorgeous drawings and I think you should seriously consider having them turned into stamps. They are just so amazingly detailed.
ReplyDeleteSandra @105
I'm thinking that might be a good idea Sandra, but haven't a scooby (clue) how to do that.
DeleteIf you have any ideas then I'd be thrilled to hear all about it.
Thanks for stopping by my place and leaving a lovely comment.
Have lots of fun desk hopping ~ enjoy!
OMG that turtle is just brilliant and then I scrolled down and wow more brilliant stuff and my goodness at the end was the piece of all works with the Maggie, what can I say you are amazing, I love that maggie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing have a great crafting week.
Eliza
Oh Eliza that's so kind of you...your comment makes me a happy bunny!
DeleteIt's quite funny actually because at certain points of the week I begin to doubt I should carry on doing these designs, but then I read comments like your's and feel totally inspired again.
So thank you.
Have a great crafting week too ~ have fun! :D
Your kangaroo looks great. My friend has a magpie that soars down and lands on her arm when she is in the garden. She thinks it was hand raised but it just turned up at her place one day. She lives in the bush so its quite happy there. Sandy :) #51
ReplyDeleteMy friend has a family of magpies that swoop down for hand feeding every time she goes in or out of her house.
DeleteThey haven't actually landed on her arm yet...but who knows?
I think that's such a special thing to be trusted to that degree.
Your friend is very lucky :D
I'm glad you like the kangeroo Sandy. He caused me quite a lot of trouble, but I think I got there in the end.
Wow Neesie, your artwork is amazing, you obviously put a lot of work into each piece!
ReplyDeleteHave a large ironing stack here :(
Happy WOYWW xx
I don't feel it's a lot of work because I love to do them...the time just disappears.
DeleteI find them so relaxing and just wish I could spend more time drawing.
Sorry I can't help with you're ironing...I'll be washing my hair!
Have a great time desk hopping and thanks for stopping by my place.
Happy WOYWW!
Absolutely stunning drawings you have done, not sure where all our suns went
ReplyDeleteBridget #28
IT'S HERE Bridget,
DeleteA beautiful sunny morning but the coldest we've had so far!
Thanks for popping by ~ enjoy WOYWW :D
My zentangles aren't exwn close to the beauty of yours, but I have to tell you why I love yours so much. The traditional tangle is on a 4x4 piece of paper and it is gorgeous but just a tangle, nothing more. Where yours is always inside the shape of something. I made more tangles in shapes than 4x4 tiles. That is my favorite way, and seeing you do them this way and so beautifully makes me love your tangles more than any other person I've ever seen!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
xxDaniella#44
Oh Daniella that is such a wonderful thing to say...thank you so much.
DeleteIt means so much to me. ;D
It's possible that because I'd never seen a tangle before I started doing my version, that that's why it deviates away from the norm.
I now see patterns in almost everything which is a slight worry :$
Maybe I should drink more water!!??!
Have a great time desk hopping...I'm going to try and visit everyone later today.
Enjoy and thanks again for your lovely comment ~ I'm grinning from ear to ear! :D
Love, love, love your Zentangles!! Such a talent. #118
ReplyDeleteThank you...I appreciate your comment.
DeleteHappy WOYWW!
Wish I was motivated to iron but no such luck! Love your art pieces they look great!
ReplyDeleteLisa#9
Hey Lisa, It wasn't really motivatation...it was a case of health and safety...we were in danger of being buried alive!
DeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting. I love to have visitors.
Enjoy desk hopping ~ Happy WOYWW!
They are all wonderfully striking -as always - but that turtle takes the cake! The perspective and composition is unique and every detail SO WELL DONE! I have such trouble with turtles...so I'll just happily leave them to you and enjoy your mastery!:-)
ReplyDeleteWow...praise indeed especially from someone that I admire their work so much.
DeleteI think the same about you're elephants...they would certainly cause me a great deal of trouble.
Thanks for your lovely comment. It's great to get feedback especially when it's good ;D
Have a great productive week!
Soooo beautiful! Love the turtle. I've been considering the Inktense pencils so I'll be interested to hear what you think of them. I love your blog header, we desperately need some rain here!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Brenda 5
Hi Brenda, I had a little play yesterday but think I've got a lot to learn. I think it's like anything you need to spend time getting to know them...hopefully I'll manage some more time today.
DeleteI'm glad you like the header because I just took that photo from my bedroom window one morning and the next day the leaves had blown away.
It just emphasises the fact that we should seize the moment!
Sorry no rain to share with you this week...we're sunny but crisp cold!
Thanks for popping over to my place...Have a great WOYWW!
fantastic work - hope you enjoyed your day crafting. x Jo #72
ReplyDeleteI did indeed Twiglet, although I'd still like more time. Maybe I'll squeeze some in today!
DeleteThanks for stopping to comment.
Have a great WOYWW desk hop ~ enjoy!
love the one of the kangaroo...very Aboriginal in its texture. How very appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI've had that said before about my designs Bella. It's an honour.
DeleteI never intentionally tried to adopt any style...it's just sort of evolved.
Thanks for popping over to my place ~ Have a great creative week ;D
Oh Neesie, that sea turtle is amazing! You must have put a good bit of time into those pieces. Dani31
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like him? I think he's cute. I knew as soon as I first saw him that he was going to be special.
DeleteI'm not sure how many hours went into drawing him because when you're enjoying doing something the time just seems to slip away.
Have a wonderful week ~ enjoy desk hopping and thanks for visiting mine :D
Beautiful zentangles :) waving the #49 from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandee ~ waving from the down under in Melbourne. :D
DeleteHi Ros,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you like the turtle...I think he might be my favourite if I were to pick a favourite...but as with our offspring, I couldn't possibly favour one over another!
I've never looked too closely into other 'tangles because I didn't know that was what I was drawing, until someone from the WOYWW gang told me!
I think mine are similar but don't stick to the principles of 'tangles. I do my own thing!
Maybe I should look at videos or tutorials online just to see but I don't want to be influenced. These are just me...and my way!
I always try to reply to everyone who leaves a comment because if they've taken time to write to me, it's only polite to answer back. My Mum would be proud of me ;D
Plus sometimes it's not easy to cover everything in the post so it gives me a chance to embellish when answering them.
I try to answer each one individually to make it more personal. The trouble with doing that is that I can't get to everyone's desk...but I try.
Thanks for popping in...it's always good to see you. Have lots of fun desk hopping and I hope to see you again soon :D
Once again Neesie you have created some fabulous art work! They are brilliant!! I think the turtle is my favourite too! I'm going to try a few more, won't give up yet!
ReplyDeleteHave a great crafting week! HaPPy WoYwW!!
(((Lyn))) #32
I'm glad you like him ~ I do too ;D
DeleteOnly keep drawing 'tangles Lyn, as long as you like doing them otherwise they'll drive you mad!
I really enjoy drawing them...my madness is due to other things... LOL
Thanks for popping by ~ I'm off to desk hop myself now.
Happy WOYWW ~ enjoy!
Oh Nessie it is just to hard to decide which one I like best. The Magpie is awesome but so are the others. I am going to have to try the pentangles and see what I can do. any hints? Have a great week and thanks for commenting on my blog. Vickie #159
ReplyDeleteHi Vickie,
DeleteMaybe you shouldn't try to pick a favourite...it's just great that you like them so much.
I think you should definitely give them a whirl. They can be very relaxing and just have fun...don't follow any rules just do what you feel. I'd love to hear how you get on ;D
Thanks for stopping by ~ enjoy WOYWW!
I just love your work!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmie,
DeleteThanks for popping over. I appreciate it! ;D
Whatever you plan for this weekend, have a fantastic time.
I love your sea turtle zentangle, although the magpie is quite striking as well. You sure are embracing these zentangles. Do you do them in your sleep too? And I think a dining room table totally counts as a desk!
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd understand about the dining room table...but it gets a little tricky in the shower, cooking dinner, in bed and digging the garden...but I manage! ;D
DeleteI'm trying to use the Intense pencils but I think I'll be practicing for quite some time yet.
Thanks for popping over to my place. It's always great to see you.
Have fun with WOYWW!
Oh my word your work is amazing. Thank you for visiting my desk - sorry I am late returning the compliment. Anne x
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne,
DeleteNo apology necessary because I take all week to desk hop and still don't manage to visit everyone.
Thanks for your lovely comment ;D
Have fun and enjoy your weekend.
Glad to read you take all week to desk hop...that's what I do, too! :) And I don't manage to get around to them all, either...how on earth does Julia do it? She must be very dedicated or type really fast...hmmm, a mystery indeed! lol
ReplyDeleteAnyways, your drawings are fantastic and this is coming from someone who is not at all endeared with the zentangle craze...most of them (others ones) confuse me and don't seem very, um, talented? I mean they all look like they take forever, but they don't all end up looking like the time was well spent...yah, that's more like what I meant to say. With that said, I really do like your turtle and your bird, they seem like the time was very well spent! I'm thinking the kangaroo shows you are very talented as well, and the time was well spent, but all I wanna do is shoot him in the butt or hindhocks with an arrow because it seems like he has a bulls-eye painted there! :) I'm too ridiculous, right?
Well, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me such a lovely comment...you are very encouraging and it's really appreciated! :)
Have fun this week and don't watch any of those other zentangle video's, I would hate for them to corrupt you! :)
cheers,
Deeyll
Well Deeyll, I never thought anyone could write as much on their comments as I normally do...I'm always trying to cut down on the words...but you...wow...you win the prize this week!
DeleteSo thanks for taking so much time out of the desk hopping frenzy to leave such a long and detailed comment. I appreciate it ;D
By the way...I think Julia has mystical powers which enable her to get to everyone.
Psst...now this bit is between you, me and the gatepost Deeyll...(swivelling head from left to right rapidly) I don't really like zentangles either!!! There it's out there now!!!
I'm not sure what I draw because I hear they're not keeping in the zentangle guidelines (heaven forbid) but I know I enjoy doing what I do and I'm not sure where it will lead...I'm just enjoying the journey :D
I have to confess I nearly wanted to shoot that Roo in the butt too because he put up quite a fight. I knew I wanted to draw one but he didn't want to play...I won in the end but as you say...bulls-eye!
Oops now have I written more than you? See I just love to natter.
I'll pop the kettle on next time you pop by. ;D
Have a wonderful weekend ~ enjoy!
Happy wonderful Wednesday - er, fantastic Friday?
ReplyDeleteYou too Beth...and a wonderful weekend! :D

Hello!
ReplyDeleteWOW! for this WOYW? Wednesday post! Beautifully done! Your skill at his technique is wonderful! Wishing you a happy weekend!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
Hi Barbara,
DeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving such a lovely comment.
I'm still enjoying drawing but am about to start painting again using the Intense pencils but I've a lot to learn!
Have a great weekend ~ enjoy! :D
Hi Neesie! Thank you for coming to visit me! I'm always breath-taken by your amazing drawings! And I stopped first at your current post and enjoyed the trip to the Maldives!! Thank you so much for that!
ReplyDeleteHi Darnell,
DeleteI often wish I had more time to look at the other posts from the WOYWW gang, but it takes so long to see the desks that I don't have the time unfortunately. I hardly get to as many desks as I would like but such is life, I guess.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your trip to the Maldives too. ;D
Thanks for popping by and I'm smiling with your comment about my drawing. :D
Have a great weekend!
Oh Wow Neesie, your zentangle art is AMAZING... Absolutely stunning! I love all your pictures and couldn't possibly choose which I liked best! Just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really getting round anyone's blogs this week so don't worry! I've had so many lovely comments hoping I'd soon be better, and thanks for yours too! Yesterday I started feeling a lot better, and this p.m. I've been to our village fete. Crashed out for a sleep afterwards and now feeling much better again! Hoping the catch up with everything over the next few days.
Shoshi
Thanks Shoshi,
DeleteThat's certainly wonderful compliments coming from you. I'm grinning like a cheshire cat!
By the way I've started to play with the Intense pencils but I have a lot to learn by the look of it!!! I'm thinking I need to watch a tutorial on how best to use them.
It's good to hear that you're feeling better and seem to be recovering. It's a tough call when you want to do lots of activities but know in advance that it's going to cause you discomfort later.
Take it easy and rest up this weekend ;D
Thanks for taking the time and effort to visit me ~ I really appreciate it.
I'm so glad I was late arriving at your desk this week, Nessie as I feel so refreshed after that trip to the Maldives, just what was needed after the awful Summer we are having here in the UK this year. I've topped up my tan and paddled my feet so feel able to tackle the rest of the desks now!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the invite!!
Love your beautiful dining table covered in your amazing drawings. That turtle is fantastic.
Enjoy the sunshine, hope it's still with you and Happy WOYWW
Hugs Lisax 98
I'm afraid the sun's forgotten us over the last few days...I'm sitting in the doom and gloom this morning. I think I may need a revisit to the Maldives myself.
DeleteThanks for nipping over to my place and leaving such a lovely comment.
Let's hope whomever has the sun at the moment, thinks to let us all share a little!!!
Have a great week ~ creating craftyness ;D
Gorgeous, just gorgeous.......
ReplyDeleteMorti #59
Thanks Morti...I appreciate it ;D
DeleteYour artwork is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteWould these be considered zentangles?
I have just learned about them recently and made a card with one I created.
Just checked out your photos from your trip....just stunning.
Hi Tracy,
DeleteI couldn't find your comment at first because I went automatically into this weeks WOYWW 161...but this is last weeks but I've got you now ;D
Yep some call my art zentangles but I'm not so sure because I've heard that 'tangles have set rules over sizes and patterns etc and I just started to draw before I'd even heard the term zentangles. I think mine are more doodles.
I don't like to think of restrictions when art is concerned ~ I like to just 'do'!
Thanks for nipping into my world and I'm glad you enjoyed the trip too.
Have a great week ;D
