Zendalas - An Introduction to Working "In the Round"
A Zendala is the Zentangle® version of a Mandala. The practice of creating Mandalas is a very old tradition in many cultures. Intended as a meditation tool to many, working in a circle has a very different, flowing dynamic. When combined with the process of repetitive pattern drawing, the induced meditative state takes your creativity to a whole new level. Come relax and experience this process “in the round” while creating beautiful, intricate, abstract art.
The skills developed through this art form extend beyond the end result of a finished piece of abstract art. Remove creative blocks, induce a state of mindfulness, increase focus, experience relaxation, build self-esteem, indulge in self-expression and bolster confidence.

This class is a structured approach to working "In the Round" on “pre-strung” Zendala tiles. We will be creating our Zendalas in the traditional black ink on round, white tiles. Come and learn some new tangles, add shading, create and enjoy!
PREREQUISITE: Zentangle 101 class with a Certified Zentangle Teacher is Required.
Class fee $35. 2 hours. Includes 5 Zendala tiles. (3 pre-strung, 2 blank).
Bring your own black Micron 01 pen (or other archival black pen), pencil, blending stump and sketchbook.

Zentangle Magic

A few years ago I was participating in an open house for a great little locally owned store on the West side of Cleveland. During my free Make and Take I met many wonderful and talented people. One in particular has been a dear friend ever since. She is a truly kind, giving, talented and beautiful person. She is what we call "Goddess Worthy". This past week she honored me by writing in her blog about my relationship with the Zentangle art form. I am ever so grateful to include her amongst my closest friends and would like to share the blog post with you. Please visit her site to immerse yourself in all the beauttiful photos and writings.

Thank you all for coming into my life. Zentangle truly has its very own Magic.
