More snow so more tiles!

We have received yet another blessing of snow.

(Our outdoor lawn furniture . . . now totally covered!)

As beautiful as this bounty makes everything appear outside . . .

 
. . . we've been spending more time inside - tangling of course!

Here are a few from Molly and me. The first one I did a while ago. One of our lovely CZTs from The Netherlands gifted me with this (antique?) Dutch Button. I love most things antique, and this was something I could wear! After looking at it up close, I saw the tangles developing in my mind. When you see something such as this, you need not represent it precisely, but take inspiration from it.

If you look closely at my tangled "button" it is not an accurate representation of the piece. But it still might remind you of a Dutch Button.

So take inspiration from things of beauty and don't fret about exact representation. Make it yours. Delight in the transformation from image to tangle.

Enjoy the tiles!

Just had to share . . .

Yesterday we received this precious note:

Dear Rick and Maria,

Thank you very much for the magnificent Zentangle Box. I'm enjoying it very much. It inspires me to draw more. And my classmates enjoy it too.

Hereby, I sent you a poster to have a lot of fun with. Hang the poster on a lamppost or tree in front of your house and watch what happens.

Bye, Bye,

J.S.
The Netherlands

Molly put it up on a door in town, and people immediately took some.

Thank you so much, J.S., for sending that treasure!

Best,

Rick & Maria
