For paper we used 20 x 30 inch (50 x 75 cm) sheets of Lokta. Lokta is a long fiber paper made from tree bark in Nepal. The trees (more like bushes we're told) regenerate quickly. It is also the paper that we use to cover our Zentangle Kit boxes.
For drawing tools we used regular pencils for string and shading. For tangling, we used Sakura® Pigma™ Graphic 1 and Micron 08 pens in black, brown and sepia. We used white chalk pencils for highlights.
Here's a closeup of an example Maria showed before we began:
People had their choice of green, brown or ecru paper. Here's a view from the balcony:

To many peoples' delight, Deb Phelps, CZT (and licensed massage therapist!) brought her massage chair.
We'll show more tomorrow how this project progressed.

I just adore that big drawing on the green paper ! I've been googling 'lokta paper ', and it seems to me that this paper is not very smooth. Isn't it hard to draw on ?
Lokta paper is the paper that our Zentangle Kit Boxes are covered with. It has texture , but a somewhat soft texture. It takes the pen nicely and the chalk pencil as well. It was not difficult to work on. Any comments from our "Master Tanglers?"....... (all the pieces they did on the lokta paper were fabulous, without exception!) Best, Maria
