Greetings from Boston (actually, Cambridge) again where I am traveling for work (my day job, of course). Last night we went to Harvard Square for dinner at this cute little place called The Red House. I was delighted when I saw their menus, payment folders, and other “assets,” and even more enchanted when I learned […]
Greetings from Boston where I arrived for a business trip a few hours ago. My flight was delayed getting out of Philly because apparently all air traffic is delayed when the big man is in town. I guess that’s fair, although a few people on the flight were sweating their connections. I hope they made […]
I’m sliding later and later in the week with my challenge tiles. I really like doing it earlier in the week and then watching as others’ entries come in, but I never ever peek before I do mine as the power of suggestion from the awesome work other CZTs and tanglers do is too strong. […]
I’m going on record here with this shameful truth: I’m not really a Star Wars person. Yes, I grew up in the 70s and 80s when all things Skywalker, Force, and Lightsaber were all the rage, but it just wasn’t my thing. I have watched all of the movies multiple times, and I can’t tell […]
Greetings from Boston, MA, where I am traveling for my day job. I’m in a workshop with some really smart and fun marketing people at IBM Security (that’s not sarcastic, and this is not your grandfather’s IBM) and feeling decent (not super) on Day 9 of my Whole30 journey. I also was delighted to have […]
Have you ever accomplished something that most of the people in your “real life” couldn’t quite make sense of, but that meant more to you than accomplishments others would see as superior? Case-in-point: I am now a Certified Zentangle Teacher. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that this means more to me than […]
Hello from Providence, RI! On the heels of a whirlwind of a week at CZT #18, I am way ahead of (my) schedule participating in this week’s I Am the Diva challenge #213–Traced Object Strings, though way behind some of my new fellow CZTs (*Ahem, I’m talking about YOU Suzanne Fleur ;)*) who jump in […]
This project is a collaboration of two very different kinds of artists: One (me), a growing pen and ink enthusiast who found a passion with Zentangle and henna; the other an imaginative artisan whose passion is in unique mounts for art made from reclaimed materials. Combined, the finished artwork is so much more than the sum […]
With CZT #18 quickly approaching–just one week from today!–I thought I’d tackle a challenge or two today. I Am the Diva is always good for a new challenge, and this week’s focused on Flux, a tried and true tangle that Rick and Maria only just published in the most recent Zentangle newsletter. Bonus–there are two […]
I’ve been collecting patterns that inspire me in an Evernote notebook for over a year now thinking that some of them would make phenomenal tangle patterns. I see new patterns every day and think, “I should really give this a shot” and then talk myself out of it. Call it lack of confidence, fear of […]
