ZenGem Class

I love the ZenGem's.  Great class to teach, adding Zentangle and the "gem" together.  I liked putting in a bracelet format, and adding some bling bling (glitter pen) to the "metal" to simulate gold/silver  (sorry, doesn't show up in picture).

        This class takes time, and patience to set the layers down and blending, blending, blending.  You can add the ZenGem's to any title.  LOVE THEM.
 

 

Thanks Charlotte Carpenter for your "step-out",  I handed out after class for reference.

Hobby Lobby Introduction to Zentangle Class

Welcome, Gaye, Sherri, Jennifer, Shiela to the beginning of your Zentangle Journey. 

Thank you for joining me at Hobby Lobby for a class.  Wasn't it fun wonder the store after class?

 

We had a special guest today, another Certified Zentangle Teacher, Susan Bowden, sat in on our class.  It just so happens that Susan and I were high school buddies and we started our Zentangle journey together.  After all these years we are closer than ever. 

 

Zentangle has a way of making friends closer.  That's why I encourage those that come to class to bring a friend.  Something exciting is always better to learn with a friend.  Right Susan?

 

Special shout out to my step-mom, Sharon,  for assisting in set-up and break-down at class today.  I'm lucky to have her help.

 

ohhhhhhhhh

Look, there I am on the left.

Color Me Beautiful Class

The "adult coloring books" were started by the Certified Zentangle Teachers.  I tell my students you can make your own pages to color by "tangling" your own. What is more colorful than a peacock?    Here is my pre color page in Zentangle fashion and then added color.

 

 Below is Sharon's, Jan's, and Tricia"s pre color page.  Homework-- is to fill in color.

                   

 

Just a reminder... color adds a lot more thought process and choices.
If you want more relaxing experience, stick with the basic Zentangle.  
"Corner dots, border, string and tangles.  Ahhhh back to basic - so relaxing".

Rancho Penasquitos Library "How-To-Festival"

     Today I participated in the HOW-TO-FESTIVAL being held at several library's in San Diego, CA. Among the participating libraries were the Central Library, Pacific Beach Library,  Rancho Penasquitos Library,  and Otay Mesa-Nestor library. 
    

          Each library had several "classrooms" with different instruction each hour.  I taught a demonstration at the Rancho Penasquitos Library The Zentangle Method today with about 30 young kids, teens, and adults.    We completed a bookmark and you can see by their smiles that I left them thirsty for more Zentangle.  What a beautiful library.  I can't wait to go back and teach Zentangle classses there.

Black Wednesday

Today, class was "dark".  Opposites attract for Zentangle class. Usually we use a 3.5 x 3.5 white tile, but today we switched it up.  We brought our dark side out with a black tile and used a white pen (and Zenstone) instead of a black Micron pen (and graphite pencil) to apply our "tangles". 

After we "Diva Danced", and Echoism'd, Hug(gins), Mooka'd, shaded and embellished - we added some sparkle to our tile.  You can't see the glimmer in the picture, but we LOVED the added bling bling to the tiles today. 

Great Job Jan !!!!!

Have you started your Zentangle journey yet?  check out my class schedules and join in the fun today.  

Zendala Dalla Alla Dalla Day!!!

Today we dabbled in class with tan prestrung Zendala tiles.  I love the round of a Zendala and the black,  tan and white color pens of a Renaissance tile. Thats right, two , two ... two classes in once. 

Had a lovely time sharing ideas of this amazing method. Nice to speak the same language of Zentangle with other like minds.  

I even taught some new tangles to try.  If you haven't jumped out of the square and into the round tile ... come over to the round!!!  Don't be square all the time !!!

 

Tangle on tanglers !!!
