“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.”
― William Faulkner
Every time I pick a paperback, I am inspired to make a bookmark 🙂 I have stored this hard paper for a really long time, saving from the prying eyes of my hubby who is forever trying to throw away my rag-tag randomly collected paper collection.
After hours of struggling with Sharpies and Micron pens, and trying to figure out designs, I came up with this.
Cool huh?? It now lies between the pages of The Last Precinct by Patricia Cornwell

Beautiful zentangles! You must have been practising for some time. I like drawing; its kind of therapeutic.
