It’s amazing how large these post. This is actually drawn on a 4″ x 6″ postcard. In keeping with the rule of three – tangles that is – I went with a version of hollibaugh, tipple, and a flowy thing that I think is mooka, but not entirely certain on that. Hahaha! Just having fun!… Continue Reading
I am up north visiting Kali. I had planned to be working on a book project during this trip, but the book deal fell through. So I am kind of at a loss for what I should be working on. Some of the CZTs are getting ready for a postcard swap, so that’s what I’m… Continue Reading

I have been waiting for this class to open so I could finally learn how to properly use these wonderful little pots of paint. Kali and I first… Continue Reading
Retreat to Paradise, a getaway for people curious about the art of zentangle! Kali and I went to this retreat in April and I am just remembering to post photos. I streamzoo-ed a few while we were there, this is a more comprehensive showing so to speak. We stayed in a beautiful Double Tree high-rise… Continue Reading
Ta- da!!! My first ever, hand-drawn, figure-it-out-as-you-go-along mandala! I am taking one of Dion Dior’s art classes, called Mastering Twinks. I’ve been waiting a long time to get in this class.

Would you just look at what I got in the mail yesterday! Oh, my! I love batiks, and you know I love purple, so this is a perfect fit for me! You might be asking, “what is it?” right about now, so allow me to explain. My friend Karen Izzi, (we went to CZT training… Continue Reading
