I hope you have all had a great break over Christmas and the New Year ... I had the pleasure of spending a week up at the highland lakes region of Tasmania ... it snowed the day after Boxing Day and we awoke to a white covering all over the camp site .. it was beautiful. A few days later we had very hot weather, we caught quite a few Brown Trout and enjoyed some lovely meals. I also relaxed and enjoyed the quietness of this beautiful region of Tasmania. I Tangled a bit, well actually, a lot!
See this beautiful decorated letter Q ... I have used coloured ink and Derwent Inktense pencils to add colour. I have nearly finished this whole alphabet ... and have enjoyed it immensely.
On Saturday just gone I taught a One Day Zentangle Workshop in Hobart (Tasmania). Just a small group of three, but it was a lot of fun and they created quite a few Zentangles.
Everyone had the same instruction and it is amazing how different their tangles turned out ....
Then we shaded them - wow what a difference.
It is amazing to see everyone has a different style and approach.
A second tile almost completed
This is one of the decorated alphabets that we created. Mica who is a high school art teacher, drew this fantastic M and used the basic tangles that I had taught them in the morning. When I teach the decorated alphabets we talk about flowing design through the background of the work, you can see here that Mica has used this in his creation - beautiful.
I thought we had lost him for awhile ... he was in the Zen!
So, welcome to 2011 and another year of fantastic tangling ... I have a number of workshops coming up and more to come.
Happy Tangling for now ... Jane x
Love what you are doing with the alphabets - must try one someday - for now I'll just keep enjoying yours! Happy New Year to you as well.
