Zentangle Diva’s Weekly Challenge #185 (Budapest, Hungary Edition)

September 15, 2014 19 comments

The Diva’s challenge this week was to create  a “duotangle” using only Phicops and DivaDance. I’m still a relative newbie at tangling, having never attended a Zentangle class, so I had never worked with either of these tangles before. That’s OK.

Zentangle Inspired Art

(This post was revised on April 23, 2015 after I became a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT), and most recently on May 10, 2020). My name is Jane Doe Suzanne and I’m a tangle addict.

To Write or Not to Write, That is the Question

letters from Colombia

I need to clarify that by “write”, I mean “hand-write”. This post is inspired by a Facebook discussion started by a homeschooling mother. She, her husband, and two young sons (ages 7 and 9) are traveling the world. She expressed some surprise and disagreement upon learning that some homeschoolers are not teaching their children cursive […]
