<br />
So, how great it was to hear this paraphrase of the Zentangle concept of "the elegance of limits," from one of my students (Nancy, you know who you are!):<br />
<br />
"... so it's like Freedom through Focus..."<br />
<br />
YES! EXACTLY!<br />

A Travel Portfolio is a great way to take your Zentangle work on the road. The fabric portfolio is large enough for two pens, one pencil, and a baker's dozen of standard tiles.

The pictures are never good.<br />
<br />
I've harbored fantasies of slipping down through the urban obstacles to take good shots, but realize that if I did, the next post you would read would be a request for bail money!<br />
<br />
So, how cool was it for me to discover Oliver Wright at a local street art fair in Ambler, PA this past weekend? VERY COOL. Oliver said, "I used to work on real trains..." and he sighed a wistful sigh. "Then," he said, "I grew up."<br />
<br />
I don't want to send him bail money, but I was more than happy to plunk down my dinero for a table-sized piece of art:<br />

I've been playing around with this pattern for a while now. Some have even seen it show up in my classes. Traditional wordless instructions can be found on the "Tangle Patterns" page.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHabLq9J5vE6dRIrLq9bpo1UBB9dOYuKVzlAZ3LzeTLTWODuZLMdxRuDtfwk_pR3fMNYM5VJ1Eo7-HGrG5ZNcarGezv99aX3CQBKrevUyYWuh7ddDAVEIiGlkhyphenhyphenlTY6g5iuOfUQ5FIrh7B/s1600/ZT0098.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" fba="true" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHabLq9J5vE6dRIrLq9bpo1UBB9dOYuKVzlAZ3LzeTLTWODuZLMdxRuDtfwk_pR3fMNYM5VJ1Eo7-HGrG5ZNcarGezv99aX3CQBKrevUyYWuh7ddDAVEIiGlkhyphenhyphenlTY6g5iuOfUQ5FIrh7B/s320/ZT0098.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Flooka wildness!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
What I've learned is that the curvier you make the initial stroke, the more Flooka looks like a curled up "pill bug." I've also learned that Flooka is ambidextrous, that is to say, you can curve the initial stroke to the left or the right.<br />
<br />
I call it "Flooka" because the shape reminds me a little of the shape of "Floo" pods and because the second stroke reminds me of the "outside line creates the inside shape" nature of "Mooka." Strangely, the people to whom I've taught it (and I, myself) are reminded of caterpillars. We think, particularly, of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, although we don't exactly know why.Terri Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15505576224510840931noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895572752181251838.post-73856521594386112462012-05-07T15:00:00.001-04:002012-05-07T15:00:39.009-04:00Will we go 'round in circles?Simple enough: put the little wheel inside the bigger wheel and put the pen in one of the holes. Start moving the little wheel around inside the big wheel and most important of all: STOP THINKING TOO MUCH!<br />
<br />
I loved my spiro-toy then; I love it today. But, it sometimes IS a love-hate kinda deal. When I relax and deliberately focus on letting the wheel guide me, I get great results! When I think I know where to PUSH the pen, not so much.<br />

Sound like anything else we know? When I follow my pen, I get better results! When I push it, not so much. And this is a lesson I learned all over again in working on my first Zendalas. Focus on the space, on following the pen... not on thinking how to push the pen where I think it needs to go!<br />

Join me? I'm conducting my first Zendala workshop on Saturday, June 30 in Plymouth Meeting, PA.

And, I kinda get that. As she's teaching postures, positions, and poses, it would be difficult to silence the sound of her own instructor's voice in her own head to achieve the meditative state that she's encouraging her students to seek.<br /><br />When I am teaching, I often experience the same phenomenon. I deliver my lines, answer questions, provide feedback, encourage nervous students... juggling so many functions makes the state of Zentangle elusive at times.<br /><br />Yet, there comes a moment in every class - EVERY CLASS - when the group gets "there." It's never the same pattern or technique; it's not the same time in each class. But in every class, there comes a time, when everyone is quiet, when art is being made, and when creative peace settles over and illuminates every artist in the room.<br /><br />Thank you to all of my students for those moments.Terri Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15505576224510840931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895572752181251838.post-80840865456753196622012-03-13T12:36:00.002-04:002012-03-13T12:40:10.023-04:00AIn't it just the way?I clicked "schedule... send now..." and the latest issue of TeeZeeTidbits went winging through the ether... zoooooooom.<br /><br />Just as I extended my clicker finger to zoooooooom over to the blog to activate the poll I promised in the newsletter, the doorbell rang.

Apologies to those who love to bask in the sun, loll about on the beach, and picnic in the park but I think you're nuts. Back when I was doing a daily writing project - which lasted several years - I found myself marking the day each fall when I could wear a garment with sleeves... a sweater could send me into raptures!
<br />
<br />Now this summer, I've been staying inside away from horrible heat, terrible t-storms, and enormous earthquakes (well, OK, not E-normous, but I couldn't think of another adjective that started with an E and would work with "earthquake"). And I have been working... on new classes and new products and new approaches and all kindza stuff like that.
<br />
<br />The big news, at the moment, is the new Autumn Class Schedule. I'm everywhere! Well, perhaps not every where, but lots of wheres. And I hope at least one of the wheres is where you are... I'd love to see you at a class. It's going to be a busy, busy season, and I'm already scheduling classes for next year! Check out the Class Schedule page for dates, times, and links to registration information.
<br />
<br />p.s. Sneak peek into the future: in January, I'm having my first gallery exhibition!

Similar "rules" apply: pen only, no eraser, just draw! <div><div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlTTQ6_b5X-PcFKNylpcNY67AHiqPB174E1Uqr5ejYWhQi2FM9A0ArgRBnkQPtm4e7kdLBvdN2zqRkk5rQTnkp16AgkQ-FadBXecAYeWEVbJFCyE50V_0lXnN_JdHk6UkXiNsLWZjrstmH/s1600/LeftString.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585071129629798834" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 161px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlTTQ6_b5X-PcFKNylpcNY67AHiqPB174E1Uqr5ejYWhQi2FM9A0ArgRBnkQPtm4e7kdLBvdN2zqRkk5rQTnkp16AgkQ-FadBXecAYeWEVbJFCyE50V_0lXnN_JdHk6UkXiNsLWZjrstmH/s200/LeftString.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>So, I embarked on my tile, string first. A little wobbly, but not so bad.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>The tile turned out pretty well, too.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_NbkIcn5MkLr-VeaMS6dM9zGM-c21A4Fh4eyrIXB3CgR-EwjsDSe4uJ6Ji2NZKlv3BZnNvRhIBQdKESE3vuVapWVvz59yZ7jfImQ11BaCKWsfatVEPsu_syTEMxK5FiosG_FihHq4DKU/s1600/Lefty.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585071565155231778" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 159px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_NbkIcn5MkLr-VeaMS6dM9zGM-c21A4Fh4eyrIXB3CgR-EwjsDSe4uJ6Ji2NZKlv3BZnNvRhIBQdKESE3vuVapWVvz59yZ7jfImQ11BaCKWsfatVEPsu_syTEMxK5FiosG_FihHq4DKU/s200/Lefty.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div></div><div>I found that I was holding my non-dom (for me, the left) hand still and moving the tile a lot more (lesson one: move the tile!)</div><br /><div></div><div>I had to move slowly and deliberately, guiding the pen through each stroke (lesson two: duh!)</div><div></div><br /><div>I made Crescent Moon first, as that's the pattern I generally teach first but decided to take a "risk" and include Betweed, which requires concentration (for me) and Trentwith, a tangle of my own, just to develop some more mastery over it (lesson three: don't be scared!)</div><div></div><br /><div>I found that shading was the hardest part, as I couldn't quite get the pencil to "behave itself" (lesson four: let the tangle happen!)</div><div></div><br /><div>Now, here's the REAL story. What the string can't show and the tile doesn't show is the amount of effort, concentration, and work (in a way) this tile was. What DOES show that is the following photo, of the nib of a brand new pen. Not so new, now.</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585073302845252978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 108px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnA1IozxQLZm_-i93kjt0p5v4tSj1hxrsQNlZeFycGjY2i5wdUrYga4co2Uws9Xs4xJIxSjoNRjZa3SApO8U6NOFaYjg6DJSV4DybA1Q-bPd_NrsdLUD4k4Frf3VkusXAyNkQjJAkBVgzN/s200/LeftNib.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div></div></div>Terri Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15505576224510840931noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895572752181251838.post-28391221624598677492011-03-16T14:24:00.003-04:002011-03-16T14:31:47.392-04:00New Classes!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWtzfkuGAQ75M3nInxMNaqFx3hronvkwzbi4NGJgmbNZFyKrhGwrikaWGjaTGtm0y9sfimapTA0aPPjIQQOd8J1EqEOl4EGoqOYDu629eUgqC28R_rOQ2jfeuAzIt9wm-iVv1p7mlIbXB3/s1600/WOSImage.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584746958231615458" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 276px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWtzfkuGAQ75M3nInxMNaqFx3hronvkwzbi4NGJgmbNZFyKrhGwrikaWGjaTGtm0y9sfimapTA0aPPjIQQOd8J1EqEOl4EGoqOYDu629eUgqC28R_rOQ2jfeuAzIt9wm-iVv1p7mlIbXB3/s320/WOSImage.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div>WOW! The class schedule contains sessions in October! Talk about planning ahead!</div><div></div><br /><div>Something V-E-R-Y cool is coming up - at least I think it's cool. The lovely people of the Philadelphia Calligraphers' Society host an event each year called "The Writes of Spring." Quite a catchy title, in my opinion.</div><br /><div></div><div>This year, guess who gets to be in the spotlight? Or should I say "guess what?" Yep. ZENTANGLE. </div><div></div><br /><div>They have invited me to conduct a workshop as a lead-in to their event. Registration for the workshop includes admission to "The Writes of Spring." A pretty good deal, I declare!</div>Terri Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15505576224510840931noreply@blogger.com0
