Start Something New !

I had so much fun last week celebrating my newly-minted CZT designation, that I sat and had a bit of a think on what I enjoyed so much about it (other than the obvious!).  I decided that it was the ongoing series on a theme.  The opportunity to explore one aspect of my Zentangle art - in last week's case, the use of initials as the primary design element - by revisiting it over and over, was enlightening.  I began to feel as if I loosened up in my expectations and fell deeper into the Zen of the tangle with every rendition.  So, long story short, I've decided to try it again and see what happens... My buddy CZT, Ruth, had seen someone try tangling around a stamped image and has been dabbling with a number of ZIA in this model.  Having seen how interesting some of the art is, I've chosen this for my next exploration.  So, here's today's effort:

I have finally managed to get my scanner back up, so hopefully my art will show more clearly in future - this one even shows the texture of the page!

Oh, and I've uploaded a page for a Zentangle Glossary.  I've had so many requests to explain various terms or words that I thought it might be useful to have a central listing.  If you have anything to add or that you'd like further clarified, please let me know.  The idea of creating something helpful and useful is very appealing to me and I'd love the opportunity to help you out!

Happy Monday!
