This is my first “invented” tangle and I’ve spelled “first” as “phirst” as a tip of my pretend hat to my hometown, Philadelphia.     This tangle is useful […]

July 13, 2015 16 comments

[New to Zentangle?  Start here.] This week, the Zentangle Diva’s guest Diva, CZT Katie Crommett, challenged us to “keep it simple”. In the United States, we use the acronym K.I.S.S., meaning Keep It Simple Stupid, but a Zentangle Diva would never call someone “stupid”, so I’ve left off the second “s” in my blog post […]
