A ZIA from a consignment store paper reprint of a painting.

 A student told me today about about work she had seen of someone tangling their own paintings.

This reminded me of a piece I did a couple of years ago on a paper print that I bought at consignment shop.  I loved the artist's flowers and it was a challenge to tangle each part staying in the moment and without planning.  But it was a wonderful experience.  And I like the outcome.

I tangled with the standare 01 Micron and shaded with Fabrico marker, #181 Cool Grey.

In addition, it came with a lovely pale pink frame, which I fail to show here.

Below are some examples of the beautiful work that children can do..  Their creativity went through the roof.


This is their very first tile.

From our second session.

Here are some of the Peek-a-boo Zentangle cards are from our third session.  Several students chose not to share their cards for a photo as they contained private messages for the intended recipients.

And finally, in April we explored borders.
