Well, in spite of my very best intentions, I’ve gone and done it again – that is, I’ve fallen behind in sharing any tangling updates for the past few weeks. But I’m here now (better late than never?!), with a nice full Tangled T-Day post which includes some rather exciting (if I do say so myself) announcements. Hope you enjoy!
First off, it’s time for a SALE!
Calling all colouring book enthusiasts! For the month of February on Createspace, enter code 9CP4G3XG at checkout and receive 20% off the purchase of Ten Thousand Tangles: A Zentangle-Inspired Art Colouring Book. This is a great chance to pick up a copy of my first-ever book for yourself and another as a gift for a friend (P.S. – CreateSpace ships worldwide!).
Happy colouring! 🙂

I am absolutely thrilled to share with you that as of this week I have been accepted as a member of the Walkerville Artists’ Co-op, and will begin displaying some of my work for sale in their gallery shortly. This is a whole new direction for me, with lots of exciting possibilities, and I’m greatly looking forward to what’s to come. Having a chance to get my work out into the community, as well as to meet, work with, and support other local artists, is a real privilege, and I’m grateful for this opportunity I’ve been given.
I’ve taught two groups of students since my previous post – one “next level” class (Beyond Basics: Shades of Grey), followed a couple of weeks later by Introduction to Zentangle. Both were tons of fun, and I’m thrilled with all the new students I am meeting and getting to know.
Here’s some of the lovely student artwork from these classes.
“Beyond Basics: Shades of Grey” student tiles
“Introduction to Zentangle” student tiles
“Introduction to Zentangle” student tiles
In addition to my regularly-scheduled classes (details here), I am delighted to announce that Viewpointe Estate Winery has invited me to teach an Introduction to Zentangle class at their property. It’ll be fun to branch out into a brand new environment, and hope we’ll have a great turnout that evening.
In preparation for bringing Zentangle to larger groups such as the one at Viewpointe, I’ve added a few new pieces of equipment to my teaching arsenal! I am now the proud owner of a document camera…
…a projector…
…plus a voice amplifier, and (as soon as it’s delivered this week) a tabletop projection screen. Oh, and a very cool wheeled bag in which to carry the lot. I’m all set and ready to go!

That is all very exciting news, Laurel, and I’m really happy for you. You’ve worked hard and now it’s paying off for you. The gallery is fantastic! You’ll get more exposure and a great opportunity to sell your work and join a community of artists. And the class at the winery sounds exciting. You deserve all of it!
