From the TeeZeeTee Research Laboratories..

Problem definition:
  • You want to have tangling supplies available wherever you are, whenever you need them.
  • Taking a full kit along with you, while it gets you points for dedication, is a little awkward.
  • Putting your beautiful tiles in a plastic bag gets you negative points for style.
What's a Zentangle artist to do?
I wondered the same thing myself when I realized (pause for head slap here!) that I own a sewing machine, I know how to sew, I can design things, I can make things...
And voila! The Travel Portfolio sprang into existence!
Whatcha got here is a durable duck outside (in a color suitable for tangles made with a fabric pen) and an inner flap/pocket/dohickey that's exactly the right size for a small grilled cheese sandwich or a stack of 13 tiles (13 is a Fibonacci number, btw) and a pencil, plus two on-board elastic straps for keeping your pens from wandering off.
The sample you see here is only one of several lining options. I'm selling the Travel Portfolio, fully stocked (with a .01 pen and a Graphic 1 pen) for $19 (usd) plus shipping (domestic rates are $4.95 flat rate).
I'm working on setting up the e-commerce site now, but if you're interested in the Travel Portfolio, email me and we'll set up a shipment. I've road-tested these for a while now, and they are durable and attractive! Fun stuff! Check out the Travel Portfolio Options page for color choices.

  2. This is brilliant! I usually carry all the pens and tiles in a ziplock. Do you have a tutorial or instructions for how to make one yourself?
