Tangling Class

Mosaic of tiles from new students in yesterday's class. To "round out" the mosaic, I included 2 of my own tiles--the one in the upper left and the one in the lower right. Everyone else's tile were from brand-new students. Micron 01 and graphite on 3.5" tiles (Fabriano Tiepolo printmaking paper).

  Yesterday morning I taught a beginner class in the Zentangle® method.  What a fun group--these were all rug hookers and they were really enthusiastic since they area already so creative in their textile designs.  We had a great time. 

I used the inexpensive portable projector for the first time, and it was "good enough" to get the job done, much to my relief.  While I wish it were brighter, it was clear enough that everyone could see what I was doing. 

In order to create a full mosaic, I included 2 of my own tiles.  On the far right of the bottom row is the tile I did during the workshop yesterday.  My other tile was from a previous beginner workshop that I taught.  I included these to avoid gaps in the class mosaic because we didn't have an even number of students, but I think if you look at each of the other tiles you will see what a great job the students did.  Hopefully, I have created a few more enthusiastic tanglers.

We finished up with some very plain linework on a Bijou tile (2"x2"):

Wonderful individual interpretations with the linework!
