Zenbossing – ZIA Technique | 2024 Class Recap

Zenbossing is an amazing ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art) technique, created by CZT Anica Gabrovec, Zen-linea, where we create the illusion of embossing. If you don’t know what that is, embossing is the practice of creating a raised design or text on the surface of paper or other material. (Debossing is the opposite effect.)

In addition to giving proper credit to this amazing technique, if you would like to support her work, AND take an even deeper dive into this – Anica has an ebook and video class on “Faux Embossing – Zenbossing” HERE.

The replays of these sessions are available to Tangle Addicts Club members and those that paid for the class individually. Click HERE if you would like to purchase the replays or contact me (Heather@tangleaddicts.com)

We had AMAZING results – take a peek at the screenshots and individual work below!

Kichi | ‘Tough’ Tangle Tuesday Recap

On these ‘Tough’ Tangle Tuesday sessions we focused on the tangle, Kichi by CZT Hyeyun Kim.

Click HERE for my version of the step-out. The step-out and samples from the tangle creator are over THERE.

If you haven’t yet attended a ‘Tough’ Tangle Tuesday Session, we’d love to have you join! They are not for the faint of pen. HAHAHA! The purpose is to dig into a tangle that is a little more complex than the average tangle. It could be more steps, or high concentration – either way, we have fun stretching as we play with the ‘Tough’ Tangles.

Speaking of that, look at all the wonderful work and the variety of creativity from our sessions. AMAZING work!!! Videos are at the bottom – If you didn’t join us, I hope that you’ll give it a try!!!
