Needlework and Zentangle

I have not posted an update for quite some time, but I have definitely been tangling.  Many of my Zentangle have been for needlework groups/guilds and have been lots of fun.  Last year I was asked to teach a one-day workshop for the upcoming Embroiderer's Guild seminar in Phoenix and it has attracted a lot of interest among needleworkers.  Below is a photo of my workshop proposal board on display at this year's seminar in Louisville, KY.  The left side shows Zentangle 101 examples, the AM class,  and the center and right side shows the Zentangle 102, the PM portion, with the addition of fabric and color.  

                                                                   

Also, this past year, my daughter, McCall Miller, also a Certified Zentangle Teacher, has begun teaching Zentangle at our great local art supply store, Riley Street Art Supplies in Santa Rosa, CA.  She tries to schedule a class every month and offers Zentangle 101 as well Zentangle 102 where she includes an every-changing selection of different media......very fun.    Her email is mccallmillerdesigns@gmail.com.  Her classes are very popular and a great choice if you live in the Santa Rosa area.

If you or your group is interested in combining Zentangle with color and/or fabric, I am listing a schedule of my upcoming workshops (as of 12/15/13) for 2014 and 2015.   Please contact me if you would like further information.   Ii look forward to hearing from you!

Toucan with Shading

Even though it was Father's Day today we made time to do a few tangles.  I added shading to the Toucan (see above) and Ashley tried her hand at a Kingfisher.  We also tried out a few colors from my new set of Graphitint pencils by Derwent......such fun!  The softness of the colors we look well with a Zentangle and don't tend to overshadow the design.  Planning on doing more with the Graphitints and will post some photos later in the week. 

Have a good week and happy tangling.

Certified Zentangle Teacher

I have recently returned from Whitinsville, MA, where I attended the Certified Zentangle Teacher seminar.  Such a wonderful three days! We practiced our tangles, exchanged ideas, and learned fun and engaging ways to present Zentangle workshops....and more.  

 This is my very first Zentangle!

Two recent tangles!

In this and future posts I will talk about new tangles and coming events and show new tangles and ideas as they occur.  Please ask questions or leave comments anytime.  Soon I will be adding a page about Zentangle workshops, but until then, email me at terry@terrydryden.com, for further information.

Please visit again soon.
