Now, I have a couple more.<br /><br />I have been collecting tangles and on the back, I will put the name of them, but I have a few tangles that I have not seen anywhere but in my work. I am hesitent to name them because more than once, I thought I had a unique tangle, only to find someone else already discovered/designed/used & Named it. Is there a clearing-house for the names of tangles so that our vocabulary is consistant?revbyrdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924904289842402662.post-62648676406763215372010-04-14T11:43:22.270-04:002010-04-14T11:43:22.270-04:00Count me as another vote for some type of on-line ...Count me as another vote for some type of on-line class.

However, utilising your defined strings (I call it String Theory) makes this easy for non-drawers to be able to see it and do it for themselves. I am indeed teaching an adult education class later this year, so will absolutely tell them of the wonderful Zentangle site and information. I have a Moleskin notebook full of individual design ideas to use and it is growing daily. I have also started my own blog dedicated to my drawing and miniature ink art - including Zentangles! I also hope to be able to attend CZT in October or early 2011. Travelling for me is also difficult due to having Lupus and costly - but I will just have to work that out - where there is a will, there is a way. Hugs and thankyou. <br />Jane Monk <br />http://janemonkstudio.blogspot.comJane Monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269903386998073858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924904289842402662.post-21217061241065900752010-04-13T15:56:03.243-04:002010-04-13T15:56:03.243-04:00Never use the "D" word???

Since I can't seem to stop talking about Zentangle I've had several requests to "teach" it but I've declined to do so because of not being a CZT. I do hope to attend the training in October but didn't want to have to wait until then to share it. I think this solves my dilemma - as I have no problem following your guidelines for sharing your Zentangle site and methods. Can't wait to bring the joy of it to others.Tinkered Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03738808678252651496noreply@blogger.com
