Challenge #309 … “Noom”
Back at ZenAgain in late 2016, several new patterns were introduced. One of them was “Noom” – in honor of the Super Moon taking place at that time. (Hence … moon spelled backwards!) The step-outs have just been made public so the Diva challenged us to… Continue Reading “Challenge #309 … “Noom””
Challenge #308 … “Mac’n’Cheese”
This week’s Challenge was a nice, simple, easy one …. use your favorite go-to pattern on a tile. My favorite go-to is “Flux” – it’s fun to draw, relaxing, and goes anywhere on a page. When I have to sit and wait, I love to… Continue Reading “Challenge #308 … “Mac’n’Cheese””
“Monotangle Meets Bijou” …
Had a great class at Icarus yesterday with the theme of “Monotangle Meets Bijou”. I introduced seven new patterns that we did on the Bijou tiles. It was a fun class which really focused on two ideas – new tangles and smaller paper. When you… Continue Reading ““Monotangle Meets Bijou” …”
Challenge #304 … “Waybop”
This week’s Diva Challenge requires the use of one of Zentangle’s newest patterns, “Waybop”. This was one of three “official” new tangles introduced at Zen Again back in the Fall of 2016. I recently taught all three new patterns to a class, and it was… Continue Reading “Challenge #304 … “Waybop””

Last night, Judy, Julie and I met for our monthly Tangle Session. At first, Judy had requested something “Valentine”, but then decided she wanted to do black tiles and white pens. We started off doing a traditional black Zentangle tile, using a Sakura White… Continue Reading “Black Tiles, Black Swans …”
New Products & New Patterns …
The class at Icarus Creative Arts Studio today was titled “New Products-New Patterns”. While the new products were fun to share, the new patterns were a bit intimidating to say the least! I had to keep reassuring the group that whenever you draw a… Continue Reading “New Products & New Patterns …”
Zen Gems ….
Had a very fun “Zen Gem” class this evening with Judy and Julie …. They’ve been setting up “once-a-month” classes with me for the last several months and it’s always a fun couple hours when we get together. This class focused on creating “gems”.… Continue Reading “Zen Gems ….”
Challenge #299 … Draw-wings
The Diva has challenged us to use “Draw-Wings” – one of the four newly introduced Zentangle patterns – for the Challenge this week. As usual, it took a few tries to “get” it. I really, really like this pattern. So does my husband! He shapes… Continue Reading “Challenge #299 … Draw-wings”
Old Friends, New Friends and a Basic Class …
Today was my first “Introduction to Zentangle” class for 2017 at the Icarus Creative Arts Studio. With the start of a new year, many people are ready to find “something new” to try and today’s class was one of those. I was surprised with… Continue Reading “Old Friends, New Friends and a Basic Class …”
