Some of these ideas are to have someone else make a string for me, use string templates I have found on the internet, draw them with my eyes closed (a real possibility), or use the letters alphabet as my strings. I have started with this last one.

I order some custom made fabric with one of my zentangle designs on it. I have something exciting planned for it but won't let on what the idea is. (It might not work out.)
If it does work out, you can be sure I will put a picture of it on here and also on facebook.Joyce Block CZThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17814655539550543538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673705744057993316.post-64734195296169682332010-12-20T15:00:00.000-06:002010-12-20T15:00:36.346-06:00New Tangle I have joined a weekly tangle challenge on facebook. This week we are to post a simple tangle, hopefully to simplify our lives in the midst of busy holiday preparations.
I am sitting here looking at an undecorated tree, thinking of the gifts that have to be sent, others that have to be wrapped, cookies that have already been eaten and need to be replaced.

I will reschedule for the spring sometime.
People ask me "Why?" My answer is "Why not?" I really want to do this and hope that I can find someone to do it also.
Will it be scary? Yes! It probably will but it also will be exhilarating, don't you think?Joyce Block CZThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17814655539550543538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673705744057993316.post-53573865464924749462010-11-01T06:17:00.002-05:002010-11-01T06:17:41.736-05:00Teaching again?I may have the opportunity to teach a class at Ottawa University. The class is Contemporary Culture and the Media . . . . a little bit intimidating but the syllabus is created and there is a book. I am going to talk with Rhoda Miller about it either today or tomorrow. Rhoda is the one who will do the hiring.

I took some of my tangles, photocopied them to LaserTran transfer paper for silk, and then put them on a silk scarf. It was not difficult to do but I would do it differently another time.
A tangle sampler was also something I wanted to do so I took an outline of the United States map and put a different tangle on each state.

I couldn't resist taking a fine point sharpee and drawing some tangles on a gourd that Dwayne brought home. This followed with 9 mini-pumpkins. I took them to a Zentangle home party and gave the gourd to the instructor and the mini-pumpkins to the guests. It was fun.Joyce Block CZThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17814655539550543538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673705744057993316.post-64526225462736411082010-10-28T16:55:00.001-05:002010-10-30T08:51:41.688-05:00Recent tanglesThese are just three of recent tangles I have done. Since May, I have been drawing these and am having so much fun. After taking a class at a local coffee shop, I have really enjoyed getting into this. I have made scarf with tangles on it as well as putting some tangles on ceramic tiles.
