Waiting and waiting and…..

What do I do when in Amsterdam waiting for a plane to Pisa?  Whip out my little 5 inch handbook and play with Zentangles.  It sure makes the time go faster.

And then what do you do when your flight 10 days later from Pisa to Amsterdam is delayed and delayed and delayed?  More pen and ink and little calming voice in my head.

And hours later when all the Italians and students are yelling at airport personnel…….of course another Zentangle!  This one I finished up waiting for my plane from Amsterdam to home.  Ahhh…….thank you Zentangle for filling the waiting.

First days at Abbondanza

Here's a sample of our first few days at Abbondanza in Tuscany Italy.  A little rain but lots of fun!

We worked on contour drawings, painted ceramic plates and have eaten a lot of very good food.

Views of the valley.

Not to mention the cappuccinos!!
