William Morris …
This month’s class was inspired by the work of William Morris, who created beautiful fabrics, tapestries, and wallpaper designs.

Butterflies ….
The recent Zentangle class at Icarus had everyone tangling on “pressboard” butterflies – a different medium than the usual paper tiles.

Tangling on black Apprentice tiles, with Sakura white jelly roll pens, was the theme for February’s class. The white pens can be finicky, but happily all six pens performed perfectly. After a little pre-tile practice, everyone figured out how to keep the pens more… Continue Reading “”White & Black” …”
Winterflakes …
Eleven of us gathered this past weekend to salute winter. Since we didn’t meet in December, I wanted to create some kind of seasonal tile. With weather being a big issue the past couple weeks everywhere but San Diego, I decided upon snowflakes. Little did… Continue Reading “Winterflakes …”
