January 5, 2016 14 comments

Right before Christmas, the Zentangle Diva challenged us to do a Zentangle inspired gift for someone. I dutifully began working on my project, but before I posted it, I managed an inelegant face plant while walking my husband to work. The poor guy was walking to work at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania […]

December 2, 2015 18 comments

I have a good excuse for being late to this week’s Diva challenge. We spent Monday traveling to Madrid, Spain. Flights from the east coast of the United States to western Europe leave in the evening, but are only about 7 hours long, so we arrived in Madrid Tuesday morning at what would have been about […]

November 23, 2015 26 comments

Thanksgiving turkey

[If you’re wondering what this Zentangle thing is, start HERE.] This week, the Zentangle Diva challenged us to use the tangle Hollibaugh in our tile. Hollibaugh, first deconstructed by a Zentangle Mother Ship son-in-law, is an important part of the Zentangle repertoire because it epitomizes the concept of “drawing behind”. It is also very versatile […]

Zentangle Diva’s Challenge #244 – I Should Be Asleep (but I’m not) Edition

November 17, 2015 23 comments

French tri-color flag

[If you’re scratching your head about this Zentangle thing, start HERE.] I have managed to get myself pretty much day/night reversed. Since the rest of the people and the dog around me have normal circadian rhythms, this means I still have to try to function in the day time, sometimes on very little sleep. To […]

Zentangle Diva Challenge #243 – Less is Enough Edition

November 10, 2015 52 comments

[If Zentangle is a foreign concept for you, start HERE.] This week, the Diva challenged us to produce a composition leaving 60 to 70% of the tile surface blank. She knew this would be an especially challenging challenge because just as “nature abhors a vacuum“, tanglers get twitchy when confronted with blank space on a […]

November 2, 2015 19 comments

[If Zentangle is a new concept for you, you can read about it here.] It is after Halloween, and we’re expecting a high of 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius) later this week which is kind of freaky for this part of the world in November. (Based on my Google research, the average high temperature […]

[If Zentangle is an alien concept for  you, start HERE.] This week, Laura Harms, the Zentangle Diva, has employed the services of guest Diva, Paula Bramante, CZT 15. Paula has asked that we commune with stones. I confess a dive into the Boomeresque tangle archives for this challenge. I’m not exactly sure when I did […]

[If you’re unfamiliar with Zentangle, start here.] This week, the Zentangle Diva’s challenge was to do a composition inspired by the season. She recognized that with tangle enthusiasts all over the world (16 countries were represented in my CZT class), we might be experiencing different seasons.

Zentangle Diva Challenges 238 & 239: Tri-bee and Munchin

October 13, 2015 24 comments

Zentangle Tangle Munchin

[Zentangle? What? Start here.] Last week for the first time in a very long time, I did not post a response to the Diva’s weekly challenge. I have a good excuse. I was “on assignment” reviewing the Woodloch Pines Resort on Lake Teedyuskung in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Yes, it’s a tough job, but someone […]
