Fun in the Spun.

6/22/2018

Black Micron 01 and Prismacolor watercolor and regular colored pencils, Gellyroll in white, size 08, white General's Chalk Pencil.

I spent the day today in Elaine Huffman's studio, learning to make these button-like zendalas from the wonderful Chris Titus. (Yes, Chris is the originator of the Zondom, the clear plastic sleeve to protect Zentangle® tiles. I use these all the time.)

We spent most of the day making the backgrounds; I had to leave a tad early so I only got to tangle this one, but others were able to get a second one done.

Full disclosure: Chris herself had made the backgrounds for all of these to make it easier for us, and we each did the same tangles on them. Here is the group mosaic, with one wonderful exception:

They matched so well with Elaine's pink flamingo tablecloth, don't you think?

Definitely a hugely fun day. Thanks to Chris and Elaine.

Love all the results of your Fun in the Spun series and am glad I can at least see ONE big and in its details!!! I also visited your previous yarn post and am so glad you guys saved that sad white wool cone and turned it into fun colors. Imagine if you hadn't come along....it would still be sitting there with that awful sign hanging over its loose strands.
I, too, have dipped my hands into (food) color and made my first crystal, which I gave away, but now my second one is hanging in the glass....
