Grungy elephant art. Warning! This project is grungy. Perfection need not apply. It took about 45 minutes of actual crafting time (not counting letting ink sprays dry overnight) and most of that was taken up drawing the patterns. All that beautiful color took about 10 minutes!

I fell in love with her ( although she will kill me for saying this) and her Mum. They are funny, bonza people. Kass is a mixed -media artist and certified Zentangle instructor. She features in my Supplies Me Workshop, giving her fave pen recommendation!
Way back then, she was working on her book, and I have been waiting for Kass’s book to arrive with great anticipation. Reading Zentangle Untangled is just like having Kass chat to me. I have seen and heard about Zentangling, although I have never tried it myself. I would’nt be so bold as to call it Zentangling… Anyway, whatever it is, I am ENJOYING it! I used my new Schmincke watercolour half pan 12 set. ( Ooooooh, it is niiiiiice. See what you started Kass?!!!! Xoxox Jane p.s. here are those paints: Serious thumbs up!
Blog Hop: Monday July 23 - START – Kass Hall www.kasshall.com/blog Tuesday July 24 - Jill Berry. Zentangle, Schmen-tangle! I stay away from controversial subjects and negative issues on this blog. At the risk of life and limb I am going to talk about something that might be considered controversial.I have been doing what is now called Zentangles with the quilting on my quilts long before there was such a thing called Zentangles. In this closeup you can see how I used a different filler design on each section, leaving the "Bolt" unquilted to make it stand out. This is a closer view of one section of the quilt. This quilt was made by dye painting a design and then overpainting the dye painted area with paints. Using filler designs is not unique to me.
Basically I see Zentangles as simply creating a design with open spaces and filling those empty spaces with a design. This shows the entire "Bolt Of Color" quilt. Are Zentangles the result of someone taking a basic design idea, taught in many art classes, and capitalizing on it to make a lot of money?
