Amazing what a scanner shows!

Saturday was a wonderful day of tangling at the Jaycee Park at the Irving Arts Center. Angie does such a great job of being hostess, instructor and friend. We learned new tangles and started on a tumbler insert. Mine's for my Mom, maybe she'll feel better with a lid on her glass:) Here is one of my tiles. I scanned it, upped the levels but when I zoom in, I see how many 'holes' I'm leaving. Is that good or bad?

Colored Live and Love

Finally finished LIVE but wasn't happy with the contrast so I decided to add color. And, if I added color to live, I'd have to add color to love. So, here they are. Tonight, I start LAUGH. Why is it there are always parts of a tangle I REALLY like and other parts I wish I could do-over?

Tangled Love

First of the live, love, laugh series, here's to love.

Can I finally post Aaazzz on the how-to page?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, so I am again trying to post to the How-to page.
How to make Aaazzz
Make an A
Any font, any size, as long as it has the cross bar.
Make a 2nd A (same style) but with the top of the 2nd A hitting the crossbar of the 1st A.
Repeat.
Many, many variations, cause if you leave a space you get a different texture that if they are small and tight. Try it, you'll like it!

Thursday's seem to be my morning for JOY

Seems I like to blog on Thurs morning. Not really, just am not consistent with my blogging. I'druther be tangling:) So here's to JOY in the morning.

T-shirt Zentangle for Alaina

My students will be making designs for t-shirts and since they will be one of a kind, iron type, I figured I should do a test. I decided to make a Zentangle for my niece to print/iron on a sweatshirt. Here's the design. Since I'm printing it on the iron-on, I've taken the liberty of Photoshoping the colors brighter than the original. Will take pictures of the sweatshirt when it's finished (good, bad or ugly)

Zentangle Exhibit

Come see some fantastic Zentangle art at the Irving Arts Center this Sunday from 2-4pm. There is some gorgeous work on display all in Zentangle. Meet the artists. Say 'hi' to me:)
