This recap is from the June 25, 2024 sessions, where we explored a really interesting technique created by CZT Sonya Yencer, called 14 Shades of Gray. The special part of this is the unique use of erasers to create effects, versus erasing mistakes.

This recap is from the June, 11, 2024 sessions. We took a deeper dive into step-4 of the Zentangle Method. The string is important in a number of ways; first, and maybe most importantly, because it’s spontaneous (Well, sort of… for some of us, its more like forced spontaneity. HAHAHA!), the string provides an unpredictable outcome. AND because the it’s only a suggestion, it can provide layers of unpredictable outcomes.

This recap is from the May, 28, 2024 Sessions. I have seen this concept done in many different ways, sometimes being called “Found Poetry”. My spin on it is different. In the sessions, I explain the idea of focusing on something and letting the words jump out at you. It’s just amazing what happens when we try not to think toooo hard and just do. Now some, decided to go rogue and brought even more AMAZING ideas to this concept.

To everyone that participated. THANK YOU for opening up yourself and sharing a bit more of yourself. As I read and really took in everything you put on the page. I was overwhelmed with emotion with each one. Even with just a few words we can imagine where your focus was. THANK YOU! Make sure to frame it!

There is so, SO, SOOOOO, much more to Zentangle® than what we see in the gorgeous pictures. My Zentangle® Essentials Sessions are all about focusing on the Method that IS Zentangle®. We take it step by step, 8 of them in total. Focusing on the essential techniques, philosophies, lingo, etc. Understanding the origins and that it’s all about our individual journey!

For those that have taken this as a re-grounder & supporter, they are encouraged to take their work to another level of play – in other words, to go rouge. (As if we need any permission. HAHAHAHA!)

Please enjoy the AMAZING works below!!

After the fun prepping these tiles, it was time to tangle on them!!

I’ve seen it called Map Tangling (more recently) and Splat Tangling – I’ve added as many name options as I could find, Splodge, Splot, Splat, Splish, Splash. It’s a technique that seems to span many genres, and many many years. Oh what fun!!!

In these sessions, we played with several ways to create amazing backgrounds to tangle on. Below is the list of items we have used in the past and will be using for this session. The idea is to play with as many items as we can to see what we can do with each medium.

While this is a stand-alone class, there will be a follow up class sharing tangling techniques for tangling on the tiles created. In my research, this concept has been around for a while in different forms. I’ve seen it called Map Tangling (more recently) and Splat Tangling – I’ve added as many name options as I could find, Splodge, Splot, Splat, Splish, Splash (if you have that tune in your head now – sorry! Hahaha)

Notan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark elements as they are placed next to the other in the composition of art and imagery. We will take this a step further and incorporate tangles in contrasting colors.

We were introduced to Notan from CZT Lynn Fisher, who learned it from CZT Sandra Philips, who learned Notan at Tangle U, put on by CZT Elaine Hoffman, and decided to add some Zentangle to it. Thank you Sandra!!! Oh MY Gosh did we ever have fun with this!!!
