6th and 7th of January

To let it be and accept the way it is , isn´t the easy way for me. Not in zentangle nor in my paintings. That is one of those things I always have to be aware of.

Last night after finishing my work in the studio I sat down tangling before sleep. I have come to string 223 (Anette Plaga-Lodde).The simpliness in the string was what I needed, I was tired and didn´t need to think too much. First I wasn´t satisfied with the result. But I let it be what it was.

Tody I can see other things in it and I accept it for what it is. That is satisfying enough!
