The Zentangle Diva’s challenge this week was to use the tangle Yuma by CZT Tina Akua. Working on this challenge helped keep me somewhat sane during a 15 hour non-stop flight in an economy seat, flying from JFK Airport in New York to Johannesburg, South Africa. I had to incorporate a few turbulence induced squiggles, but that’s […]

October 6, 2014 17 comments

This week’s challenge #188 by the Zentangle Diva was inspired by an email she received from a 12 year old boy, who wrote to her in recognition of a gay friend and asked her to consider “a achallenge to somehow put some aspect of LGBT in a tile. Perhaps using the colors of the rainbow, or […]

Zentangle Diva’s Weekly Challenge #187 – Blind String

Zentangle Diva's challenge #187. Blind string.

Today didn’t start well. Our rental apartment had no running water. Fortunately, this turned out to be a First World problem because it’s already fixed. I used the lack of running water as an excuse to check out the newly remodeled cafe across the street. I was looking forward to having a new venue, free […]

This week, the Diva challenged us to use the Zentangle tangle “ING“. I am way, way late to the link share this week, but I have a good excuse. Last Saturday, we left for Munich, Germany (from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) where my husband was speaking at the annual meeting of the European Respiratory Society — […]

The Zentangle Diva’s Weekly Challenge #183— “UMT – X-Did” by Annette Carlo

September 2, 2014 10 comments

The Diva posted the weekly challenge on Tuesday this week because of the holiday (Labor Day) yesterday. I think  quite a few of the regulars might miss it. However, I kept looking to see if she posted something because the Diva’s Weekly Challenge is now a sub-addiction to my general Zentangle and Zentangle Inspired Art […]

The Zentangle® Diva’s Weekly Challenge #182 — “Stripes”

August 26, 2014 7 comments

This is my second trying the Zentangle® Diva’s weekly challenge. The cue word was “Stripes”. I worked on this one while feeling very sad for a friend who lost his beloved golden retriever, Phoenix, that morning. I tried starting with a string, planning to use stripes going in different directions for each section. I think that “vision” […]

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. Apparently, I’m also a pusher as several friends are now also tangle addicts. (You know who you are.) The thing is, I […]

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 […]
