Something New is Coming

This blog post needs a photo. 
Hahahaha!
You have been patient and listened to me rant
and be upset about Blogger.
For months!
About not being able to receive comments,
or make replies to your comments,
having to respond as a 'guest' and
having to approve my own comments but
rarely seeing yours. 
Well it is about to end.

We have been working on setting up a new blog
and will be going live with it hopefully in the next week.
Watch here at the top of the feed for information.
Hopefully all of you who subscribe by email
will automatically transition over and not
need to do anything.
Still trying to iron that out.
Better days are coming, folks!
You just wait and see!

Day 13 of Inktober and 31 Products Challenge #inktober #inktober2018 #31productschallenge #hahnemühle

Alice Hendon, day 13 Inktober, 2018, tangle pattern zello
 A lot has happened since I posted last.
My computer died.
Bought a new computer. 
Book publisher died.
Looking for a new book publisher.
Blog commenting isn't my fault.
Blogger is messed up.
Looking for a new blogging site. 
Is that how you spell "site?"

Back to art-ing.
Above is day 13 of Inktober, 2018.
The tangle pattern was a new one to me,
a fun one with lots of flexibility.
From Eni Oken - it is called zello
with a Zensations Technical Pen
from Zebra Pens
Love it all!
Alice Hendon, day 13 of the 31 Product Challenge, 2018, mixed media
 And we move on to day #13 of the
I did do some work on this each day
this month, I just haven't posted them
all here. There will be a massive
post at the end of the project.
Promise, with lots of photos!
Today I used Caran D'Ache Neocolor
Watersoluble pastels to make marks.
Circles, lines, smudges.
It was highly satisfying. 
Hahahaha!

I am having major computer issues, among other
issues, hahaha! but we are slowly working our
way back around to the light.
I hope. 
that has been watercolored with Tombow brush
pens. I used a Zensations Technical Pen
from Zebra Pens for the tangling. 
Plain graphite for shading and a white
gelly roll pen for highlights. 
So much fun!
The tangles are quaddy, nymph
and nymbis. Two of the three are
brand new to me and I loved them!

Days 8 and 9 of Inktober #hahnemühle #zebrapen #inktober #inktober2018 #inktobertaa

Alice Hendon, day 9 of Inktober 2018, Zebra Mildliners
I am falling behind on Inktober
Blog issues, book issues, computer issues, 
new computer issues.
It's been a messed up last 4 days!
This tile was for October 9th, which was yesterday.
for both these days.
The color on this one came from Zebra Pens'
beautiful mildliners
I used them like watercolor - which worked
wonderfully!
The tangle is a relatively new one called
I threw in some printemps because . . .
why not?
Alice Hendon, day 8 of Inktober 2018, twinkling H2Os on Hahnemühle YouTangle.art Tile
 Here is day 8.
Working backwards.
The color came from Twinkling H2Os,
a product that originally came out about
20 years ago and still works great today.
For both these tiles I used a 
to do the tangling.
Patterns on this one are:
and printemps

Want to join us for Inktober?

people participating and all the beautiful

In between installing a new computer,
moving all the files over, trying to find a 
new publisher, and possibly even a new
blogging site -
maybe I will be able to fit in a tile.
Because I am now behind.
The struggle is real.
Bwahahahahahaha!

Note: as much as I'd love to hear from you,
the comment function of my blog no longer

Days 6 and 7 of Inktober #inktober #inktober2018 #inktobertaa #hahnemühle #31productschallenge #zebrapenusa

Alice Hendon, days 6 and 7 of Inktober 2018
 Really happy with the way this tile turned out!
I made the background color with 
Ranger Distress Ink pads,
just kind of scrubbed them around on the paper.
That would be a YouTangle.art Tile from
(And they are working out great for this Inktober!)
The patterns I tangled are O-cee and Onamato.
Just the two.
I thought they worked very well with the
beautiful colors in the background.
I used a Zensations Technical Pen from Zebra Pens.
They work great on these tiles,
and on top of the distress inks.
We are doing Inktober together as a group
over on Facebook at
Want to join us?
It isn't too late - 
it isn't too late until it's November -

Alice Hendon, day 6 of the 31 Products Challenge
 Another program I am working with this October
The thought is to pull all those art supplies
out of the closet - you know we all have them -
and use a different product each day this month.
I am working on a 12" x 24" art canvas.
Above is what I did on day 6.
(I think I am working too hard and fast and will
be done before day 31 is here.
Ranger Distress Ink pads.
Used them to scuff up those collage pieces
and swipe some color here and there.
Interested?
You can check out the 31 Products Challenge here.
Alice Hendon, ATC making for the letter D, Disney of course <3
I am in another group on Facebook called
One of the events going on right now
is the letter D swap.
We make 2 ATCs to trade with someone in the
group - based on the letter D.
This shows the bare bones of my ATC.
I will show you the original after it makes
its way to its new owner. 

Just a reminder - if you try to leave a comment
and I don't reply it is because blogger is not
sending me notifications of comments
and they are not showing up in the 
moderation area of the blog. 
I still love you!
I just can't tell you.
Oh wait, I just did!
Have a great day!

Ultimate Frustration

Migraine alert.
If you have been leaving comments
and I haven't been responding
it is because I no longer receive them
and we do not know why.
For months we have been working on 
this and have not made any progress.
Please be patient.
And if you don't hear from me soon
it means I banged my head on the table
one time too many.
And too hard.

Day 5 Inktober and It's Getting a Little Harder #inktober #inktober2018 #hahnemühle #zebrapenus

Alice Hendon, day 5 Inktober 2018, tangle pattern dazl
It's getting a bit harder to keep up with both
challenges I am doing.
Got a little carpal tunnel stuff going on with
my drawing hand.
In a brace right now and taking it easy,
other than making this post. 

Day 5's tangle is Dazl.
Got to say this one doesn't do anything for me.
I opted to keep the design minimal
and I think it was effective.
Makes me dislike dazl a little less this way.
Hahaha!
Sorry, Diana. 

some Distress Ink from Tim Holtz, 
a white Gelly Roll from Sakura,
and that is pretty much it.
Minimal.

I admin a Facebook group called
and we are working through Inktober together.

Day 4 Inktober #hahnemühle #inktober18 #zebrapenus

Day 4 of Inktober brings me back to another
Ranger Distress Ink pads.
That background color is the distress ink.
I used Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils
to shade and add the green.
Apparently you can't see all that green
bleedover when the tile is actually its
 normal size of 3.5" and not how it shows
on this screen. 
Tangling was done with a Zensations
Technical Pen from Zebra Pen.
Hahahaha! Oh well!
Oh! The tangles are:
rixty and viola.

Don't have a place to hang out for Inktober?
Come on over to my Facebook group
where we are doing Inktober together.
We would love for you to join us.
