Class Preparation

I've got a string of public introductory classes over the next two months, both youth and adult, and I've been getting ready.

Today, I ordered postcards, stickers, and business cards featuring my "Tangled Heart," above.

I've also been practicing basic tangles and strings for the adult class this Thursday.  Granted, I've added some small advanced touches as I practiced.

Crescent Moon, Florz, Hollibaugh Printemps, Perfs, and Flux

Flux, Crescent Moon, Hollibaugh, Printemps, Zander, Springkle

I'm really looking forward to the class. I have eight people coming on Thursday, all new to Zentangle.

More on that soon.

I've also started a list of some basic tangles that encompass many techniques, including auras, "drawing behind," grids, organic, and "drawing towards/drawing away from self."  I've also included a list of "doo-dads" or extras that many of us add to the edges or corners of our strings, extending outside of main design.
