Two New Tangles!

ORLIQUE is one one of my favorite tangles!  Many of you have asked how to do it and so here it is:

Orlique makes a beautiful tangle on it's own within a Zentangle, as well as a stunning and complementary background for other tangles:

In this Zentangle, I've use "Orlique" as a background for the tangle "Rain."

And here  is "Orlique" as both a tangle within a Zentangle AND a
 background for the tangle "Squid."

And now, drum roll please ... the brand new, 

hot off the press, 

 (not even available to the public yet)

new tangle (by Maria Thomas) 
 called BUNZO.

It's really a dynamic tangle because it is 50/50 black and white.  It is also great to shade and will "grow" to fit any string!   Here's a sample of what I did with it (using the "Orlique" tangle, too!):

Have fun with it!  Let me know what you think!  And send pictures of what you do with it!

Happy Tangling!

News and "Stuff!"

NEW Class for Zentangle "Graduates" 

Piloted this Summer!

You asked for it ... and you got it!  NEW tangles and the basics of rubber stamping!  What a great combination.  We called the class:

"Sassy Stained Glass Stamp Meets Zentangle:  WOW!"

In this class we put our Zentangle® skills together with SIX NEW TANGLES (yup, 6!) to create an awesome ZIA greeting card!  We "splashed" some amazing Dylusion Color Spray Paints around, too.  In addition, we learned the basics of rubber stamping.  And, at the end of class everyone got to take home the components for 2 greeting cards and a fabulous Stained Glass cling mount stamp that will give you endless tangling possibilities,  I had to find the "perfect" rubber stamp for this class, of course.  I wanted one, that if it was your first and only stamp, you would be able to use it over and over and over again and have the finished product look awesome and different each time!

Well, I found it!  Take a look:

And when it's tangled ... ahhhhh!   Kelly Fluitt went home and created this beautiful piece of art using her new stamp and Tim Holtz's Distress Stain Inks.

And Susan Hatchett left the class and completed these two lovely pieces of art:

ALL you ladies were wonderful! Though you used the same stamp and learned the same tangles, you put them together in your own unique and special way to create your own remarkable and extraordinary art!  KUDOS to each of you!
