Rainy Day house

It's a gentle rain, coming straight down, and with sparkly water droplets!

This is the second in my Global Village series of house kits, a joint project with CZT Jenny Perruzzi. It's just been launched and it comes with most of the supplies you need, including tiles, special pens and even a custom cut mat with a house-shaped window. You'll need to have basic supplies like a pencil, tortillon, and black pens.

If you're interested in creating one of your own, you can purchase a kit at Jenny's Etsy store here. And if you missed the first one, a medieval half-timbered house, you can find the kit in the same Etsy store. You could end up with a village!

A medieval half-timbered house

Back in November, when I was fortunate enough to attend the zenAgain event for CZTs, I sat beside Jenny Peruzzi. Jenny runs Acadia Laser Creations and has produced a number of zentangle project kits (Tints on Tan, Zenquility, etc.). She floated the idea of a series of zentangle-inspired houses using a standard zentangle tile and a new 3Z (triangular) tile. I liked it - houses is something I do, right? We decided to call it 'Global Village' as there will be a variety of buildings in the series.

This first offering uses Renaissance (tan) tiles. I went through a few versions of this half-timbered house before coming up with one we both liked.

The kit includes all the supplies you need to complete it, except for a few things you already have, like a pencil. You'll get two of each of the tan tiles, pens, pencils, five pages of illustrated instructions, and a custom cut house-shaped mat. Wheee!

If you're interested in this project kit it's available on Jenny's Etsy site here.
