Elder College Classes x 2

My second Elder College course started last week with 17 students.  We got off to a great start learning the basics of the Zentangle method and the students couldn't help but remark that even though they all learned the same thing they each created something just a bit different.

I always start with Crescent Moon, Hollibaugh,Tipple and Bales

I have to say that I am really enjoying teaching at the Elder College.  It is a great setup for the more experienced folks in our community.  They can get out and learn new things in a safe environment that is very reasonably priced.

We only have 1 1/2 hours for each of the 4 sessions and the students keep telling me that they wish they had more time.  This week we learned the second half of the beginner Zentangle course.

This time we learned Cadent, Laced, Onamato, Zinger, Antidots, Poke Root and Poke Leaf

Next week we will start to explore the black tiles!

Happy Tangling!

I Like Zentangle Bugs!

This week The Diva's Challenge is inspired by a new video from Sakura about a Zentangled bug.  It's real cute, you should check it out!

I actually started my tile a week ago for the previous challenge to use Cruze but I was so busy preparing to attend the CZT XIII training that I didn't have time to finish it.  As I was traveling back on one of my many flights to return home, I found my unfinished tile in my little tile case.  I decided to finish it off with Crescent Moon, Tipple and a Ladybug.  So now, the tile is good for the current challenge - #144 A Bug's Life.

The Crescent Moon shaded the way it is makes me think of a little canyon. I can imagine my lady bug riding on a log, on the river at the bottom of the canyon.

While I was checking out everyone's work I noticed Rick entered a link with some of Maria's bugs - check it out here.

Hope you are all having a great day.  My mind is spinning with Tangles I want to work on and classes to plan.

New Tangles - Well, Tipple, Ennes

I have been trying to keep up with the Diva challenge but the last two have been a bit much for me.  I thought I would share a couple others that I have been working on instead.

Tipple and the new Well

Ennes and Tear drop

That's all for today.  I looking forward to getting into a routine with the Diva challenge and hope to be back next week with more Tangles to share.

Diva Weekly Challenge #137

This is my first attempt at entering the Diva's challenge and it is Knightsbridge and Tipple combined in one tile. Both of these tangles are pretty simple, but I do have issue with my circles.  I know I just need to practice.

I made one on a white Zentangle card and the other on a black one.  The black one is using a gel pen and highlighted with a white pencil crayon.

Well those are my entries for this weeks challenge.  See you next time.
