Examples of My Zentangle

Sincerest Apologies

To any and all who might go Friday or went on Tuesday to attend the Zentangle class....
I cancelled the classes because I have not received any commitments of people attending, via email or Paypal. I am looking for a location where I might host an evening class or a Saturday morning class. Anyone with suggestions, please email me at sthillen448 AT msn.com

I am very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. It was a last minute request of the CVA to have the classes there, and without any commitments, I didn't expect anyone to just show up. I apologize. Next time I know to come anyway:)

Please don't give up on Zentangle classes. They WILL be in Denton.

Jredzel in a tile

Here's Jredzel in a tile. I played a little with shading and adding black or lines to the insides. I started to get really carried away with fatter or thinner widths in the j's. I think that's going to take a whole tile:) Here's the steps

Time to get back in the tangle again!

Wow! I feel like I've been on a desert island with no sakura pens! I'm ready to get back in the tangle again. One tile a day keeps the stressors away. To start this renewal off, here's this mornings tangle.

I've started an 8" x 8" white on black piece. More experimental than anything but I've really liked the black tiles just wanna go BIG.

Here's to tangling a tile a day. My other tangle-goal is to develop a pattern (something I see/think up) at least one a week. That's not to say that pattern isn't already done and published, but for me to THINK and DECODE a pattern a week. Hold me to it!

Color and new tangles from Sue

Trying out the sagura metallic colors on regular zentangle tiles and then a few of Sue's tangles. Started out with La Bel and added a few more. Unfortunately, I made my string to tight and the pretty loops are just too small, especially when I started adding in the black fill.

I don't think I've ever had an artform where I can continue to experiment, finish a piece (in a short amount of time) feel satisfaction and learning and still want to keep going. Zentangle is such a rewarding artform. I hope to share it more soon!

Quick post of some black and metallic pens

 I'm trying to convince my 2 year old grandson to wait a minute before we watch 'garbage trucks' on YouTube.
