A new header banner!
You probably noticed that the blog looks a little different today!I've been feeling the need for a new design and a new banner for some time. When I began this blog in October 2010 - five months after I became a CZT - I thought it would be about a variety of art topics including Zentangle. It quickly became almost entirely about Zentangle and this was reflected in the original masthead, below. Zentangle instantly became, and still is, a major part of my artwork, but I'm exploring lots of other avenues, and I want the blog header to reflect that.Recently I chose fonts and colors to use in all my materials across platforms and updated the blog's fonts and colors a few months ago. Some of those are the turquoises and orange in the new banner. (There's still some fine-tuning required in terms of a font on the blog.)I started to design a new banner, but wasn't happy with where it was going. My first effort, below, went nowhere. (Well, I think it became ATCs or bookmarks!)I realized that I also wanted to downplay the "enthusiastic artist" part of it, although I'm definitely still enthusiastic! I liked the photo of a work in progress and the supplies I was using. It struck me that I could show something like that in the header's image, with more artwork, and add my name as the major element.TA-DA!!!The blog will still be found at enthusiasticartist.blogspot.com for the foreseeable future.
