Birds

I have been remiss at posting anything lately, been too busy drawing. I have participated at a show at the Manatee Heritage Village and that took so much of my time but it was terrific fun. I drew these birds and made cards from them as well as just pictures. I am pretty proud of them.

Oh, What You Can Do With An Initial

The letter L . . . don't know why it's hard for me to feel inspired with "L".

I am trying to use at least one new pattern daily. I find it really easy to get into a rut using the same patterns over and over. None of the patterns used in my "L" are new but I did use a different aura which put me a little out of my comfort zone. Also the design is not enclosed in a "box" and I'm still experimenting. The great thing about Zentangle art is that if you don't like it one time, you can put it aside and then pick it up later and see it differently. This one is growing on me.  

My Sister's New Blog

Here's my latest work of the day. I started another one today at my doctor's office. But after giving me a shot in my right hand will have to wait until the swelling passes to finish that one!

Check out my sister, Virginia's new blog.  She is addicted to tangling too and will be showing off her work.http://www.buzzingwiththequeenbee.blogspot.com/. 

Tile in a tile

The http://www.iamthedivaczt.blogpot.com/ 
challenge this week was to tangle a tile on a tile. This is my try. It is the first time I have attempted a challenge. But even more challenging is the success of getting this to their site.  Hope this works.


I love this challenge. I feel as if I am ready to hang a picture already matted.  My husband wants me to make more of these, mount them to cork squares, coat them and use them for coasters. Hmmmm.


Zentangle is such a freeing art - no mistakes and the sky is the limit.

Classes Available

Finally!!!! Summer is winding down and I am gearing up.

I am opening my studio to students who want to learn Zentangle. I will be holding classes on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. Interested? Leave me a message with your phone number and I will get back with you.

Classes are $35.00/per student. That includes all materials and a 2 1/2 - 3 hour class.

Each class can hold up to 6 people. For larger groups, we would need to work out a venue or space rearrangement.

I will also come to your house for group instruction with an additional travel fee, if there are enough people coming.

If you are interested in a night class, we can negotiate that.

REMEMBER, Christmas is coming and Zentangled gifts are fun to give, and inexpensive.

Also at the studio, you can rent space to spread out your projects and work on them without having to clear off the kitchen table. Rent for a day, a week or a month.

If you are an art teacher and would like to hold a course of your own, I rent space for that as well.

Latest project

I have been working on a three layered flower that I have tangled and then colored. I will be teaching this to an advanced Zentangle class in August. I was planning on teaching it the first time today while here in Richmond, but alas, the class was canceled. Next time.

I AM UP AND RUNNING

I have opened my new studio in my husband's dental office in Bradenton, FL.
Beginning July 18th, I will be available for Zentangle classes both at this location and for private in home classes.

I am a certified Zentangle teacher who is absolutlely in love with the art. Please let me share my passion with you.

Although there is no sign out front yet, this facility will be open for rent to others who have a craft to share. Please let me know if I can help you.
