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 […]

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens by Isaiah Zagar

You know how sometimes when you live somewhere, you might have never visited places in your home town that most visitors (tourists) go. I’m sure there are a good number of New Yorkers who have never made it to the top of the Empire State Building nor to the Statue of Liberty. Here in my […]

Zentangle Diva Challenge #242 – “Gourdgeous” Post-Halloween Edition

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 […]

Fall leaves on the campus of Williams College

[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. Where I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the northeastern […]

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 […]

Teedyuskung Lake at the Woodloch Pines Resort, Hawley, Pennsylvania

Thanks to an invitation from the Woodloch Pines Resort outside Hawley, Pennsylvania, in the northeastern Poconos, Mr. Excitement and I had the chance to escape from our real life for a two night autumn weekday escape. Woodloch is an approximately three hour drive from our Center City Philadelphia apartment. We managed to get ourselves a […]

Boomeresque’s Third Tangle Deconstruction? – Tercero

Zentangle Tercero Tangle Deconstruction

Hmm. I don’t know if there’s a Spanish word for “tangle” and whether it is (or would be) a masculine or feminine  proper noun, so I’m sticking with masculine since I named my second tangle deconstruction “Segundo“. (OTOH, consistency is probably overrated). My first tangle deconstruction was imaginatively named “Phirst” — which is how we […]

Zentangle Inspired Art

[Are you new to the Zentangle method? Then, start HERE.] I admit I almost did not attempt today’s challenge by guest diva, Charlotte Carpentier, CZT. Charlotte’s challenge was for us to use a stencil as our string. Before I could even think about the challenge, we had to pack up to return to Philadelphia from […]

Zentangle on music paper with staves staffs

[If you’ve never heard the term Zentangle before, start HERE.] I’ll try to be brief this week because this evening I’m teaching my first Zentangle class at a local library and I need to leave time for a proper freak out. This last time I taught something was about ten years ago and it was […]
