Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon and Tropical Zentangle

Aloooooha, from the Poway Library in San Diego, California. 


Today I was asked to share The Zentangle Method at the library's Hawaiian luncheon to thank 25 of the over 100 volunteers they have at this branch.  Kalua pork with beautiful Hawaiian decorations topped off with a lei.

I asked if anyone had heard of Zentangle and no one raised their hand.  I LOVE to share this secret gem. The founders of Zentangle designed an art method that takes the HARD out of art.  Easy to learn, easy to do, and is meditative and relaxing - healing art.  Four dots, connect, and add patterns.  Simple.

I design an easy beginner Zentangle tile with a tropical feel.  Here are some pics we shared after class.  One sweet volunteer said "look what I made".  She never considered herself an artist.  Did you know the definition of artist in the dictionary is "one that engages in art". 


Gotta give a shout out to Karen and the rest of the crew at the library for treating the volunteers to a wonderful luncheon to thank them for all the many hours they give to the library.  I was told today that the library couldn't run without them. (Don't forget the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY.)    

Aloha and Mahalo to all the volunteers and library staff for a fun day.
