You Just Never Know...

During the week, I had the opportunity to share Zentangle with a group of cancer survivors through a Livestrong program. What a wonderful experience it was. I met so many interesting, caring people who enjoy tangling immensely. One of the participants was a woman who works with area hospitals and Ronald McDonald House. She plans to share my information with the powers-that-be there. I'm

so thrilled at the groups response and feel validated each and every time I share Zentangle with someone. You just never know what will happen next or where Zentangle will take you! I am truly blessed. Have a wonderful weekend of tangling. The new round tangle tiles are wonderful! www.zentangle.com

A Holiday Special Thank You

Yes...I'm on the sales bandwagon! Anyone who buys one of my tangling workbooks from my website before December 25th, will receive a tangling booklet free, along with a free gift. That's right, this is my gift to you for the holiday season for supporting my efforts to share the art of Zentangle with anyone and everyone.
It takes quite a lot of work and attention to detail to produce a book. A challenge that I thoroughly enjoy. If you haven't rated my books, go to Amazon's website and please do so. I appreciate positive comments and the rating. It helps me to fine tune new books.
Thank you everyone for chiming in and supporting me.

Craft Fairs & Zentangle

Always in search of students and customers, I decided to register for a few craft fairs this year using Zentangle as my launch pad. It is gratifying when consumers step up to your booth and say they are familiar with the art form and engage in a conversation about it. Other consumers listen and then they step up and ask for more information.
I took my tangling a bit further than tiles. I have four books out with another on its way. I also made a bunch of ornaments with tangled designs on them and I made up some jewelry. The earrings and pins went over the best, though the books did okay, too.

When making these little gems (LOL), the best part for me was creating on a surface that isn't usually the norm. Buyers found them interesting and often called them sea glass, but the pins were made from glass, clear, frosted or solid colores. The earrings were made from 140 lb. watercolor paper and then covered with an acrylic finish to create stamina. I added a small bead and that's all there was to it. Easier than pie. I've added some photos for you to see. Let me know what you come up with. The sky is literally the limit here!!!

Color Swells

This started out in black and white, but I got carried away and used Staedtler markers to color it in.

Tangle Day 2

Tangle your name. Begin with a pencil line drawing of the letters and then fill them in and shade. Add color to make your name glow!!
