Zentangle Kimonos
PB, an art teacher in Ohio wrote:
"In a recent newsletter I saw a picture of a zentangle folded
into a paper crane. Last February in one of my elementary art classes we did a
similar project. I taught the students how to do a Zentangle which was adapted
to a rectangular piece of paper required to fold an origami kimono. The
results were outstanding! Depending on how the tangle was positioned the designs
on the kimonos were symmetrical or asymmetrical and all unique because the
pattern was not planned, they folded after making the Zentangle."

Zentangle Hearts
Or, how these two people "heart" Zentangle. V took a page from Wizard of Oz and her Zentangles frame a poem she found within that page. She writes, "I've been having so much fun with Zentangles and wanted to share one
that is a blend of a Zentangle design and words from a book page. A
friend sent me the book Humument, where the artist Tom Phillips plays
with art and words, creating something that is beyond both. So I gave
it a try. Thought you might like to see it.
"Thank you so much for your generosity in making a how-to of your
newsletters. I also bought the kit and have practiced different
patterns in a spiral-bound artist's sketchbook. The paper isn't as fine
as that in the kit, but I can work larger if I want to. I'm not an
artist; I am a writer. But when I showed some of my designs to an
artist friend, she insisted that I am an artist.
"In gratitude, V"
Here's a delightful heart box decorated with Zentangle art and lined with hand-made paper that one of our CZTs, Mickey Weitsen, created for an upcoming benefit for St. Tammany Art Association and New Orleans Museum of Art. |
Newsletter Feedback
We always are so lucky to receive great emails. Here are just a couple about our Zentangle newsletter:
I just love getting your e-mails. I have saved every one. Sometimes when the day is gloomy, I go to the top of the computer and hit 'from'....all your posts are there, in order received. I while away the hours poring over your posts, enjoying all those designs...... Thanks for the eye candy!
gratefully yours, MG
Just wanted to write a quick note to let you know
that I truly appreciate receiving your letters.
Anytime I see "News from Zentangle" in my email,
I get a joyful feeling. You guys pass on such
positive energy. Thank you for being the loving
and encouraging people that you are.

Zentangle Magic
You're camping and it's pouring out. What to do? Here's what M did:
"I thought you might enjoy this photo, taken in my car on a rainy day
during our summer camping trip this year. You can see part of the
steering wheel at the top left. What a great way to pass the time!
"The free-floating rounded triangles in this design I call Papyrus
because they remind me of the papyrus tops in Egyptian paintings.
They're good for filling in a small space.
"Cheerio, M"
R in Michigan wrote: "I love your web site and learning about Zentangle!!!! I was so
inspired that I started right off the bat!
I even showed my fiber friends at one of our meetings and they are all addicted now!
"Then I thought why not use Zentangles for my art quilts! Thought you might like to see my effort with
the needle! The green [shown] is the back of this
piece, which I painted over to show up the [pattern]! Again, I
love receiving your newletter and getting inspired all over again!
"Thanks so much! R"
