Tangling on the go

If you anticipate having to sit and wait somewhere, or will be taking a long trip, consider taking along a kit to do Zentangle(R). 

That's one of the beauties of the Zentangle tiles. The Zentangle founders, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, chose them not only for their manageable "real estate" but also for easy portability. Of course, they take notebooks and tiles and all sorts of drawing tools wherever they go.

For travel, all you need is a pencil, a pen, and some tiles. 

But be aware that some people will be very curious about what you're doing which can open up an interesting conversation about Zentangle. You might be the one to introduce someone new to this fascinating art.

On my way back from the Zentangle teacher training, I was seated between two women across the aisle from each other who were caring for three children, two of whom we very active baby girls (twins) and the other their five-year-old brother. I read the airline magazine but was distracted by the children's commotion, so I thought I'd get out my Zentangle "kit." As I extracted it from my carry-on bag, I knew immediately that the tiles and pens would instantly attract the attention of these three young children. So I put the kit away and tried a bit of meditation to pass the time.

What's a Zentangle home class?

When you get so excited about Zentangle(R) that you want all your friends to find out about it, too, why not host a home class? I'll bring all the supplies and teaching tools to your house and you'll have a lovely afternoon drawing mini-masterpieces. 

A class is NOT the same as a [you name it franchise] party. There are no games to play, prizes to win, or any pressure to buy things. It's a quiet time of delving into Zentangle patterns and enjoying the art, "One stroke at a time.(SM)"

For more information about hosting a home class, please contact me and I'll send you a document that details what you need to provide and all costs associated with a home class.
