One of the last classes I taught at my club included how to create Tangle Combos, an incredibly fun process of combining tangle genetics to form new tangleations. In this Journal Tile I combined Zander and Prestwood (Margaret Bremner) as main artifact. I tried to use a slightly different color than sepia/brown, but it’s a tad too pink for my taste :-)
Read MoreThe beautiful Bailarine Popup Class is now available for individual purchase at my Teachable Video Shop. This is a 3 part series - 3 videos totaling 4:20 hours - showing how to understand and build a fantasy world pop-up card from scratch, using Zentangle Inspired elements. https://enioken.teachable.com
Read MoreI’ve been away on a family reunion, during which I barely had any time to draw. Here is one piece, though, that I managed to make during this time. The challenge was to create an asymmetric pop-up composition using mostly V-folds. Not sure it’s my favorite composition for pop-ups, but it was fun to see how it came along in a very unusual way.
Read MoreYesterday Art Clubbers and I completed Part 3 of the Bailarine Pop-up card. This is the last project of the club! It was a three part series that will be available at my video shop as a video recorded class in a month or two. Tangles were Toodles, Tink, Msst and Bailarine. Such fun!!!
Read MoreAnother 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!
Read MoreLast two Thursdays Art Clubbers and I are playing with the LAST class of the Art Club: a 3 part series on how to create tangled pop-up cards. In Part 1 we created a large V-fold panel; in Part 2 we worked on attached features and parallel folds. In Part 3 we’ll put it all together!
Read MoreI have been away for family events, but before leaving I made a couple of pop-ups - trying to learn more about this super fun artform. Here I used Bailarine, Tink and Toodles. Go to the actual blog page to see the video and also a study mockup. I'll be posting the second one soon.
Read MoreAlways fascinating to see what the Art Raffle daily meditation is going to inspire. In this one I used a particularly complex string, which is hard to work with because it lacks fluidity. Still, was super fun and I love what happened with the ribbons there, Snap!
Read MoreDaily meditation with the Art Raffle gave me Nzeppel, Twing and Toodles. I choose to use a tangleation called Nymph (Merlinda Barlow). Look at those trees on top of the Nzeppel hill, funny!!!
