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!!!

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.

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 them to take their work to another level of play – in other words, to go rouge. (As if they needed permission. HAHAHAHA!)

Please enjoy the AMAZING works below!!

For this Winter Snowflakes sessions, we decided to play with a number of different techniques to create neat effects. We had a lot of fun focusing on the new tangle, Snowflake 7, by CZT Barbara Duel Johnson, Wonder by CZT Nancy Garcia as well as any other that our tanglers wished to.
