Sunset over Saint George's Thoroughfare, Brigantine Beach, New Jersey

[Zentangle?? Huh?? What??  Read about it here.] This week, the Zentangle Diva, Laura Harms, challenged us to produce a tile using only straight lines — maybe a little ironic the week after Irish citizens voted by a large margin to amend their Constitution to provide for marriage equality. 😉 My first thought was to do […]

Marimurtra Botanical Gardens, Blanes, Catalunya, Costa Brava, Spain

[Not sure what Zentangle is? Start here.] This week, the Zentangle Diva (Laura Harms) challenged us to produce a white on black Zentangle tile (composition).

Zentangle Zendala

When I was born on April 22nd many decades ago, Earth Day didn’t exist. What did exist was radioactive rain, atmospheric atomic bomb testing, rivers that were so polluted they caught fire and couldn’t support any form of life, and dumping of all manner of nastiness into the oceans and seas.

April 7, 2015 33 comments

[If Zentangle is a new concept for you, start here.] Zentangle peeps, how many shirts (or other articles of clothing) have you ruined with indelible black ink? I’m wearing one of my ink stained shirts as we speak. I kept it to wear when I’m doodling tangling. The problem is, I didn’t put it on […]

Ceiling in the Blue Mosque, Istanbul

(If you’re clueless about Zentangle, start here.) This week, the Zentangle Diva, Laura Harms, challenged us to use a spiral as the string (guide) for our tile (composition).
