Toodles in Pink Pop-up Card

Another pop-up card, this time using an “M-fold” with some attached muscled and little added feature extensions. Tangles are Toodles, Mooka, Fescu (all Zentangle) and also Garlic Cloves/Ravel (Jacquelien Bredenoord). Love this one!

Another Shaded Tile

Still enjoying shading, shading. Another blended tangles shaded tile - love how the piece looks like terrain that moves and ripples.

Shading Blended Tangles

This morning I taught an Art Club live class on how to shade blended tangles. Clubbers brought the line-art they had completed in a previous class and we spent the whole class shading!

Blending Tangles Class

Yesterday I taught an Art Club live class on blending tangles. A super fun technique for people who love curvy lines, where one tangle melts into the next one.

Small Steps

I'm teaching someone who is having a very difficult time getting where they want to be, and even accepting that the process is very gradual and continuous. This has inspired me to create a series of tangled quotes. This is one of them:

Live Online Zentangle® Class

This week I had a really fun and exciting time, despite of all the turmoil going on in the U.S. I held my first LIVE online Zentangle class! It was sort of a test-drive to see how interactive online teaching can be.
