Roses, Roses,Roses

Another fun class at The Victorian! New and old friends gathered to summon spring! A challenging class for sure and far from the 'classic' Zentangle classes I have taught. We started with a warm up Bijou' tile, talked a little theory and then jumped into some ZIA with both feet! 
Zentangle inspires so many people to try new things! Tangling on antiques, clothes, glass, eggs and sometimes ourselves, leads to more inspiration and the next discovery. Like many, I long for warm sunny spring days and all the glory that nature brings us! This led me to create a rose string and play with color. Although we did not apply color we had a great conversation on how the weight of the lines and spacing becomes like color. As we moved on to shading we had a couple of the 'ah ha!' moments that Zentangle brings nearly each time we play! We finished by talking a little more about classic Zentangle theory and started a new tile as well! Surrounded by beautiful souls, I was filled with a renewed energy. And as we said goodnight and headed home I found that calm happy smile on my face that this practice always brings. 
Thank you so much for sharing this class with me ladies!! I look forward to seeing you again!

Egg-Tastic!

As Spring blows in over the last few days I've had the pleasure of tangling with new and old friends. A quiet evening at the Victorian in Whitinsville and a sunny windy day at home produced beautiful results! Thanks to those who joined me during this super fun class!



From experienced tanglers to first timers this class was a great way to welcome spring!
