Shoufleur, Turkital, Marola and more

Daily meditation using some of the new tangles in the Art Raffle: Turkital and Shoufleur (Jenna Black), Marole and Bailarine (Eni Oken). All over a “Pile-up” string. A little serious for my style, but I like it!

Mini Tangle Tote

I want to share with you a new case that I just bought from Paula Breaux's Tangle Totes: this is a Mini tote that fits my basic tangling kit perfectly and also my recipe cards to carry around in my purse. LOVING this, it's the perfect size and closes flat.

Another Popup Heart

I taught my private group how to make the Popup Heart card, a lesson which is also now available in video format to the general public. This one in pink and red turned out so sugary!!!

Thunder and Lightning very very frightening

Daily meditation following Today's Tangles Keeping it Classic produced some “Thunder and Lightning very very frightening” results. Weird…. Never know what I'm going to get.

Tangling on the Midway

During a family visit, we visited San Diego's Midway Aircraft Carrier. At one point I was incredibly inspired by the “real-life” Hollibaugh I saw everywhere and could resist drawing a couple of tiles. This is also the topic of my next class coming this Thursday July 21 2022.

Making Memories with Scena

During a family visit, we went to so many places, including a couple of art museums. There was little time to draw, but I managed to slip in some meditation time using Scena, based on Maria Thomas' piece at Project Pack 10.

Zentangle Basics in Portuguese (again)

Last week I taught a Zentangle basic in Portuguese. Even though I have done the basic ZT class so many times, it never ceases to amaze me how each tile is so unique.
