Project Pack 22 - Day 3 - Phi Spiral
In this video, Julie demonstrates how to use Hollibaugh to create a Reticula along a spiral shape, which she then fills with ‘Nzeppel bubbles.
The remaining spiral shapes are filled with a traditional Marasu rendition which povides a old contrast to the Hollibaugh-‘Nzeppel design.
This was not a difficult lesson to follow along with. It was fun and relaxing to do.
Project Pack 07 - Day 12
In today’s video, located here , Maria shows us how to create an architectural-style design using Holibaugh. Some of the coffered sections are transformed into an almost stained glass look using Fescue and various pencils.
This was an interesting exercise for me, and not one I would have ever thought of on my own. Auras play a prominent element in this design. They are used over and over in different widths to build each section. The end result looks almost like a dome ceiling.
PP08 - Day 2
This was an interesting project.
To begin, a white, 3-Z tile is combined with a black Apprentice tile.
After they are put together, the tangling was done on the white tile first, and finished up on the black tile.
The video for this project is here .
It was much easier to do than it looks like and I love the final results!

Project Pack 7 - Day 3
A beautiful star.

I am becoming more comfortable with Zendala tiles! I didn’t have many qualms about tackling this day’s drawing… other than it fell on a day of the week when I have the least amount of free time. But that’s ok. I just finished it the next morning.
I am also getting more comfortable working on grey tiles. Right now, here, it is well over 100 degrees every day. The grey and blue combination is very cool and refreshing in comparison!
Yesterday, I talked about going back to basics with a restart of my Zentangle practice.
Today, I’m showing you the second tile, which I did yesterday. Again, I followed the instructions in the booklet included in my original kit. The only change I made was to color in the background, in the section containing the Hollibaugh tangle, giving the design stronger contrast.

Today, I took Eni Oken's Art Raffle app for a spin. This tile is the result! For my first tile in eons, it’s not bad! If you tangle, you should get this FREE app, it’s lots of fun!

Sometimes the simplest tangles can have a powerful impact. It depends on how you treat them.
Here, I used Hollibaugh, but gave it a bit of a curve. Then I made it holey!
And a little touch of blue just makes it magical.

I had such a fun class on Saturday at the cARTel Studio, introducing these ladies to the wonderful world of Zentangle!
They all did such a great job on their first tiles, which you can see below.
This is the first of a series of three Zentangle classes on consecutive Saturdays.
Next week: working on black tiles!
Although this is a really simple tangle, you can enjoy the zen flow of shading. There can be so much depth, depending on what you choose to do!

I had a private class with a very artistic, imaginative young lady on Saturday. She wanted to know what the Zentangle method was, so we sat together and I taught the Basic Beginner’s Class.
She was so much fun to work with because she is already a gifted artist and has an inherent understanding of things like drawing behind, line weight, shading, and auras!
As I was showing her the way we do things in Zentangle, she was showing me how she does similar things. I learned a lot from her, and about her, and I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future!
This is my finished tile from the Tuesday Beginner’s Class. I rarely finish my tile during the sessions because I’m busy helping the students. However, I do always finish them eventually. I don’t mind having many tiles with the same design.
I can always create my own, personal mosaic!

Another Beginner’s class last Tuesday!
I love introducing the Zentangle Method to new students. Their excitement and enthusiasm is so contagious!

Another tile from a Beginner’s Class this week. I may have enough of these to create my own Mosaic!
I never get tired of drawing these. Each time, while they always have the same plan, they come out somewhat different. It depends on the day, the artist, and what they feel like doing.
It’s one of the wonderful things about the Zentangle Method!

I taught another Beginner’s Zentangle class yesterday. What a wonderful time we had sharing our drawing and life experiences with each other!

I had an introductory class with a private student yesterday. We had a wonderful time together. This is the tile I created while teaching.
Every so often, I think it is very important to go back to the very beginning and do that “first tile” again. Every single person who has taken a class from a CZT creates this tile, or one very similar with the classic “Z” string. Sometimes the tangles used vary slightly. But there is so much to learn and remember from that Beginner’s class!
Another tile from Matt this week! I gave him a Zentangle kit for his birthday at the beginning of September. He is really enjoying it! The tangles on this tile are based on what appears on the Legend Card in the kit.

She loved this place and it’s tropical feeling weather. It was nice to be in a place where she could sit on a lanai, or wander in an out without realizing it. It reminded her of the home planet… where her ancestors came from.

No matter which tangle you choose, there are usually many different ways to draw it.
Take Hollibaugh, for example. I’ve used curved, filled, flared, “holyhollibaugh”, coffered, wrapped, auraed, woven, swerved and mummy versions, to name a few.
So I thought it might be good to have a way to keep track of these versions all in one place. That way, I would have a reference of styles to choose from.
Another Introduction to Zentangle class at Good Gifts Healing Arts!
I am so blessed to be able to share with others!
