Like many of our tangles, Bales begins with a basic grid. Then we add these little elongated rice shaped ovals. This is a great tangle because you can have fun taking it in many different directions. 

 

We're sure we had a clever reason for naming this tangle Bales, but neither of us can remember what it was! 

 

 

 

Rick and Maria,

I'm hoping that you see a mini surge in Zentangle kit orders. I shared mine with a group of art teachers from various grade levels yesterday at an area meeting. I have had inquiries from two teachers today already about ordering a kit. I still think you should consider a teacher training in Iowa! :-)

I've used Zentangles to start my new group of Fundamentals of Art students at the high school level. This is their first high school art class, and many are a bit shy about their artistic skills. We used Zentangles to 'warm up' the first two complete classes. They were intrigued. We are planning to create tangles once a week or so when we need a zen moment.

Thanks again! --RS
