Every time we meet, we find ourselves conversing on a variety of topics that center on creativity, focused mind time, how to get our creative flow going again, adding balance to our day and mindfulness to our life.

“You are not being judged,
Let your work being judged on its own.” 

TanglePod Episode : Trust—available for subscribers

There is a difference between you and your work. Creativity is drawn from emotion, which sometimes leaves us feeling vulnerable. It is a thought created feeling. You are only one thought away from well being.  Try to place no judgement on what you do when you create and allow yourself the freedom to embrace what your creativity brings to you.

Keeko

Let your work being judged. YOU are not being judged.

Be present in the moment, breathe, enjoy this moment you are giving yourself.


Keeko Step-Outs

Keeko Step-outs 1

Keeko is a familiar pattern around the world, it can look like weaving or a basket. It can easily be drawn straight or curved, tiny or with lots of space flowing through its lines.

Keeko Step-outs 2

As with many tangles, Keeko has a number of standard variations. You commonly see it drawn with three, four or five lines.

It seems like a simple tangle, but once you start exploring with an in-depth study you will find that small changes and observation open the door to infinite variety.

Keeko Step-outs 4

Keeko was originally deconstructed and stepped out by Zentangle, Inc. and has been a solid member of the tangle family since early on.
