Yours, Mine, and Ours

Rick and Maria the Zentangle® Wunderkinder, have posted the class photo of my CZT class! It was such a great time with great people. I'm so tickled to finally see this photo and share it with you. There were 100 students, and here we all are in the courtyard of Hotel Providence. Kudos to the photographer!

The Certified Zentangle Teacher Seminar X

September 23-26, 2012

I also had a great time with a great group of students at my Introduction to Zentangle Class held at Hobby Lobby last Saturday. What a talented, fun group! Here is our class mosaic...

Aren't they awesome? Everybody had a lot of fun, especially me! 

Heads up...the deadline to register for the Christmas Card Workshop scheduled for Saturday December 15

is fast approaching! You MUST register by Thursday December 13. 

Christmas Card Workshop

I am offering a Zentangle Christmas Card Workshop! What is more meaningful and special than the gift of creativity and art from the heart? 

Each student will learn several new tangles, then create one or more cards to take home - these can be copied, if desired, to send or give as many as you need! Intro to Zentangle is a prerequisite, and this class is being offered on three different dates in December. For all the details, click HERE

First Class A Smash!

Held my first Zentangle class this past Tuesday, 11/13. It was so much fun! I had twelve students, all friends - which made my maiden voyage so much more enjoyable. Everybody had a good time, and I spotted at least three people who were definitely hooked! :)

I thought of a couple of things I wish I'd said or done after everyone left, and I also wished for more time. My future classes will be two hours, which will be better. One of the things I wish I had had time to show them was how to draw Onamato or Perlz. They are one of my favorite tangle patterns (a pearl shape), and I use them frequently to fill in odd shaped spaces.  Onamato is an original Zentangle® pattern by Maria Thomas, but the step out instructions are found here on Sandy Steen Bartholomew's blog, Beez In The Belfry (♥ her!). I use both black and white pearls in lots of my tangles. I love 'em! I also love the way Maria used them in her tangle pattern Purk, demonstrated here in a video on TanglePatterns.com. I used Purk as the north point on my compass rose (which you can see on my "My Tangles" tab). 

I had so much fun, and it was particularly special to me to see so many of my good friends at once and at my house! Thank you for coming and for supporting my new endeavor. I love each of you too much!

Zentangle!

They Want Me! ...well, they want Zentangle anyway...

I met with the managers of both Hobby Lobby stores today to introduce them to Zentangle® and the possibility of offering classes at their stores. They were all very enthusiastic and asked me to start as soon as possible!

I also met with the director of the Haysville Community Library, and she, too, was very excited about offering Zentangle® classes! AND the Senior Center in Derby is eager to offer classes to their patrons!

SO!
