Molly just came over for tea with new samples she created using this technique and a few she threw in! I can't wait to see examples all our tanglers create with these suggestions. Please tell us your "discoveries" when trying these out.

I used to work at an old inn called The Roycroft, maybe you have heard of it. Many of the textiles are inspired by Morris, even some of the stained glass work. In fact, we have a room there called The Morris Room. I never realized how Zentangle is so similar to some of his work. Thanks for the inspiration!

The work that Zentangle does is in some ways like a lever.<br />Ah--William Morris! I will forever be enamored with the William Morris pattern that features orchids and birds on a rich periwinkle tone-on-tone background. The combination of colors and patterns is visual paradise in my mind. I have fine china that features it (just salad or dessert plates and rim soups), and one year found a tie for my husand featuring it--a perfect anniversary gift.<br />Maria, your tiles are stunning as always.

I see his influence everywhere and find a warmth and comfort in his work. You are definitely passing on the spirit of his work and passion in finding so many outlets for your own visionary work. Thank you for all of your inspiration. <br />xo,<br />HeatherHeather Victoria Heldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659577172386326034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924904289842402662.post-21276624366202428002011-03-29T11:13:23.024-04:002011-03-29T11:13:23.024-04:00I'm with Carole.
