I've had a migraine since Tuesday evening. It's finally gone this morning. I was contemplating drawing a zentangle of what a migraine looks and feels like....maybe a hard concept, but I was seeing sharp spikey lines and zig-zag shapes and circles that keep turning and shifting. I get aura sometimes with my migraines - I usually see a small circular shiny sawblade shape that spins and gradually gets bigger and bigger until I can't see what I'm looking straight at; but I can see periphally. It makes it hard to sit at the computer and try to sneak up on whatever you are working on. Anyways, I was thinking these thoughts while at my desk when it dawned on me that I still had a sizable gift certificate to Blaine's Art Store and what a lovely way to spend my lunch break. So I went, I saw and I bought a couple of sketchbooks and some new pens.
I decided that I wanted a sketchbook that would be solely for zentangles. I don't know why, but it seemed important at noon yesterday. So this is what I bought and this is how I decorated the front. I love green and gold together! The front is NOT my migraine, it is much more soothing. The next time I have a migraine I'll zentangle it and we'll see how it fits!

beautiful!!! Migraines work for you lol
I can't imagine having such awful headaches. I have a friend that has food induced migranes. She can't eat any chocolate. Now wouldn't that be awful?? I love love love your new sketch book cover. You did a marvelous job. It is beautiful.
What a wonderful job you did. It looks professional... and lovely. You do these zens so well.
I get those kind of aura's too, but I have no pain, just the saw with the jagged edges. I get dizzy too. Like the zen, you should so make one for me, or katie could?!
I have those saw edges too but mostly they are not followed by headaches. But those saw edges is what my neurologist called the classic migraine. I get headaches separately.
Poor you!
Your book looks great! Good idea
Have a nice weekend, without migraine!
I use to get those same ziggy circular lines when first coming down with a migraine. I remember how annoying those visual images where....always moving or flickering.
I like the name "zentangles"!
That's very beautiful Patty! That must be a relaxing thing to do...just let your pen take you wherever it wants to.
I should give that a try.
Hey mom, It's beautiful! I like to keep my art together by the type of art. Love you!
That's very nice. The tiny segments out of the circles are perfect for "shading."
Get well!
