Anniversary Tangles!

Today my husband Tom and I are celebrating our wedding Anniversary!  It was 30 years ago, on a beach in Nantucket that we were married.  And aside from the two of us, the Town Clerk who performed the ceremony, and a young boy who was walking along the beach (who I recruited to take pictures), there wasn't another soul.  It was a gorgeous day, much like the weather today, and the memory is etched in my heart as have been the past 30 amazing, joyful and wonderful years.  So in honor of this special day I'd like to share 3 new tangles with all of you:


SAND SWIRL- in celebration of the gorgeous beach we stood on to be married.
By Karen Huen

I love this tangle for its flow and movement.
Below is a picture of a Zentangle I made using Sand Swirl ...
notice how I filled in the center circles of this tangle with black ink.

The VZ in this Zentangle stands for "Viva Zentangle."  This was the name of
the Zentangle Teacher Retreat I attended earlier this month!

D-VINE  - cause that what the last 30 years have been.
By Debbie Purdue



AFTER GLO - Need I say more! :-)
Tangle by Carol Oh

This tangle could be used to make a lovely Christmas card!
Look at the Zentangle below by Carol Oh.



One of my students, Debbie Lane, sent me this whimsical idea that a friend had seen somewhere and sent to her!  Thanks, Debbie! 



I would recommend using a Sharpie Industrial Permanent Marker ... they are heat resistant up to 500 degrees F! And, letting the ink dry before you put the bulb int he socket.   If you try it, please let me know if your design is displayed around the room when you use the bulb!

And last, but certainly not least, I am posting a picture of the gorgeous cards that were made by the students in my current ZIA 1 class!  The picture doesn't do their work justice.  Thank you to Mary Ellen, Sue, Lorrie, Penny, Kathleen, Linda, Gigi, Sharon, Nancy, Donna, Shannon, Linda and Peggy ... you ladies are wonderful!



I've also posted some of their art work on the "Gallery" Page of this blog!

Until November ... happy tangling!
