It's Pumpkin Season!

Love this time of year ... the weather is gorgeous, the leaves are turning colors, and the sights and  smells of the coming holidays are in the air!!  Have you been to Trader Joe's?  Just got home ... pumpkin everything!!! This reminded me of the pumpkin I tangled last year for the Artisan Store.  So, I started hunting for a picture of it and discovered I never took one! :-(   I wanted to put it on my blog ... well, I did the next best thing and went online and googled "Zentangle Pumpkins." I was inundated!!  Here's a sample of one of the "many" I looked at:

There was no credit given to the artist who tangled these.

Pumpkins are wonderful to tangle on because they have a built in "string!"  And if you don't want to tangle on a real one you can buy an artificial one in orange, black or even white!   I recommend using something like a "Uchida Deco Color Paint Marker."  This is an oil based marker with a nice shine -- and won't fade.  Beware:  "Sharpies" definitely do fade!  If you do tangle a pumpkin, please send a photo!!

Fall classes have been off to a great start!  Take a look at some of the beautiful art created by some of my newer students.  Thank you to Terri Jada, Diane Rice, Vicki Mathieu, Stacey Myrehn, Tamara Holmes and Cathy Wahrenbrock :

This is a mat board frame that Stacey is tangling ... what a great idea!

And what fun we had tangling on aprons and totes ... thank you to Diane Shamburger, Betsy Kosier and Nancy McNair for sharing their talent with us!

Just beautiful!!!  Wish I had gotten a closeup photo ... darn!!!

I did get a close up of Betsy's apron ... see photo below.

Gorgeous!!! Catch the colors ... can't wait to see  it when it's finished!!!

And just wait until you see the closeup photo below of Nancy's tote!

Absolutely stunning!!!

Jeanine Schmidt sent me photos of these amazing t-shrts she created!  Just fabulous!

You ladies inspire me and make your teacher proud! 

Thank you for sharing your beautiful art with all of us!

Okay, now it's time for this month's NEW TANGLE

 WINDFARM by Margaret Bremmer

Does this tangle remind you of another one?  Yup, it's a variation of  HOLLIBAUGH!   I used it in the ZIA below:

Definitely another fun tangle with lots of possibilities!

Enjoy the beauty of this fall season!

Until next month, happy tangling!
