A Different Be Well Series

I've been enjoying and admiring my Be Well zentagle accordion sketchbook, stretched out near where I spend too many hours of the day (next to the computer screen). Pondering if I should indeed add some variations (or redos) to the panels on the back. But then I realized I'd saved the e-mails from last year's Be Well series, never doing any of them. Aha! I'll put THEM on the back.

The Zentangle people opted to use their triangle tiles so I drew a triangle in each panel except for the first one where I penned in the series name, date, and my chop. Then I started working through the videos. All short. And each day only had a short saying meant to be encouraging I guess but which didn't seem to relate as far as I was concerned. So I didn't add any of them. And I immediately started messing up, making mistakes in each of the first three. Zentangle people insist there are no mistakes when tangling but trust me, they are wrong.

Fourth (rather than third) time's a charm? Apparently. This one went very well and I am pleased with it. May the rest go as well. And I soon figured out that each day will showcase a single tangle instead of more than one tangle as in this year's series. So I may go back and write in the name of the tangle on each panel.
