In Rosie's Book: Zentangle Tiles from Introductory Class

Why Rosie's Book?

While growing up, I had a dear friend, Renee, that lived next door and with whom I spent much of my childhood. We grew, in different directions, and went on our merry way. Many years later, I ran into her parents and they kindly reminded me of the laughs they still have over my book. “What book?” I wondered with a puzzled look. "I don't remember a book." Hardy laughter accompanied their response. At some time during our childhood, I tried to convince Renee about something that her parents didn’t agree with. I told her that proof of its truth could be found “in my book.” Naturally she went home and tried to convince her parents of the same thing but they weren’t falling for it. She needed an edge and told them emphatically, “It’s in Rosie’s book!” After they caught their breaths from reborn laughter, they let me know how “Rosie’s book” has been cited for many other things throughout the years. They’ve also mentioned that they’d like to see “Rosie’s book” one day. I can’t remember all of the things that I said were in “my book” but I’m sure my dear friend’s parents can recall much more than I ever knew about – LOL!!! So, here it is . . . my version of things you might find In Rosie’s Book . . .

Zentangle Tiles from Introductory Class

I had the pleasure of spending a few hours on Saturday afternoon with fellow paper crafters who are interested in learning more about the art of Zentangle.

I love to see the individuality added to each piece when the guidance and instruction was the same.

Here's a photo that shows the group's tiles after their introduction to their first four tangles . . .

It made me very happy to see their smiles as they completed their first Zentangle tiles.

This photo shows tiles of their second set of tangles . . .

When each individual adds their own perspective, after receiving the same guidance and same instruction, very unique works of art are formed. That's just one of the many aspects of the Magic of Zentangle.
