I'm ba-a-a-ack! With two zendalas.

I feel I haven't posted anything for a very long time, but it's only been two weeks! Although my posts have been rarer than usual recently.

At the beginning of April was Retreat to Paradise, and at the end of April was Tangle U. I was doing a lot of thinking and planning and preparation for classes I was to teach at both events. In the end I didn't make it to Tangle U (that's a whole story itself) and now I've been sick with a horrible hacking cough for more than a week and had no energy. The blog found itself on the back-burner.

Now my scanner has decided it can't find the computer (although the computer can find the printer, and scanner and printer are the same piece of equipment - go figure) so I'm relying on phone and camera for now and the pictures are not as good. I want to show you two pre-strung zendala tiles I did recently.

In the tile below I used the string to create a see-through grill. Then I did another random string throughout, and used that for sections to tangle. I shaded the same side of each grill section to enhance the idea of the tangles being behind the white.

Tangles: Black Pearlz, Cruffle, Dansk, Emingle, Fiore, Gewgle, Knightsbridge,
Lotus Pods, Magma, Printemps, Tipple, Yew-Dee

In this colored one I used the Rounding enhancement almost everywhere. In addition to the color wash I also used a white pen, a gray pen, and pencil shading.

Tangles: Pearlz, Rounding, Tipple

Posts may continue to be slow for a while. Tomorrow my youngest daughter arrives for a visit. Next week Laura the Diva CZT and I will be having fun with a couple of other CZTs, Lisa Heron from Regina SK and Jenny Farrell from Australia. Can't wait for that!
