A Tree of Life is a widely adopted symbol of knowledge and life. Here I used a twisted Diva Dance, Hollis, Moon Pie, Cat Kin (Lonetta) and Tree Leaf (Debbie New). What a great project!

The title of the post may sound strange, isn't all Zentangle intuitive? In this experiment I used a much more complex and intuitive string combined with a gray micron pen on two different pictures, with varied degrees of success. I came to an interesting conclusion, though.

This crazily busy image is inspired by project pack 20 using Hollis, Moon Pie, Toobs (Angie Gittles) and Travel (Jodi Genovese). Whew, talk about embellishments. Toobs looks a bit like Zander to me.

One of my clubbers has insistently asking me to try using a ballpoint - the good old Bic (or Biro) pen in my tangling. I used a black and blue Bic pens for shading - with varied degrees of success, some good and and some pretty bad. Here's the result, inspired by Project Pack 20 Hollis and Moon pie.

My private group and I tangled an oldie but goodie: a tangled butterfly. Remembering a friend who has left us too soon thinking she has morphed into something beautiful. Fly, fly away dear friend and leave that painful cocoon behind.

This is from last week: a daily meditation with the Art Raffle gave me Travel (J.Genovese), Saturday (Y. Kageyama), also Edgework, Squarify and I added a “horizon”, an enhancer where a simple horizontal line can create an immediate landscape effect.

Yesterday Art Clubbers and I worked on an advanced project including Phossil, producing this lovely landscape-looking piece. I think this is finally the last chapter of Phossil for me, for a while at least.

A new kind of newsletter related to the Art Raffle (especially helpful for Android users who can’t access our free app): every week I’ll feature a single tangle, enhancer or string. The email goes out every Thursday morning, showing the “back of the card” with valuable information for you to continue to learn.

Daily 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!!!

Daily meditation with the Art Raffle gave me Feziii, Fractalize, Chainging and Scatter. Such fun to play with this odd string. Is it some kind of otherworldly landscape defying gravity? What’s happening here?

Daily meditation with the Art Raffle gave me 3 different strings. I figured: why not? I used Marasu, Peanuckle (both Zentangle), Bownus (Angie Gittles) and Bejeweled Hurry (my own tangleation of Hurry).

These Zentangle tiles must be magic, whenever I feel there is no more room for anything else, somehow they manage to get more and more. Sheesh! Tangles are Phossil, Zentwining (Lynn Mead), a marine version of Mooka with some Fancy Caps and Opus.

This one had a “less loved” start with Zenith and sat on my desk for a long time. Suddenly the thing just came to life with Phossil, Zentwining and some Fancy Caps! Now it's one of my favorites. Just to show, don't give up on your less loved tiles.
