Happy Valentine's Day!

This will probably be one of those chilly Valentine seasons!  I remember one year my mother made me the prettiest dress for Valentine's Day.  It was red voile with white swiss polka dots, with little heart lace trimmed pockets.  It was so pretty and it ended up being really cold, windy weather!  A lot of factors involved to imprint that on my memory!  But the important thing to remember was how much my mother cared for and loved me!  She still does!  Valentine's Day must be important to my mother, because she will invariably send out valentine cards to all of the grandchildren...sometimes I still get one!  So, this year I will be making her one.  I think I will send her a Zentangle styled valentine.  What do you think about this one?  It will encompass the heart (love) and the precious sewing supplies.  Love you Mom!

 

 

 

Important date and note!  I will be doing a demonstration for the Kerrville Art Club on the Zentangle Method at 1:00, KACC.  Would love to have you there as a guest!

Also, at 9:00 that morning I will have a class using Renaissance Tiles, cost is $45. includes materials.  Bring a guest and you both get the class for $35 each.  Please call me or the KACC for registration.  My number 830-285-4199. 

 

Happy Valentine's Day!!!



Schedule Revision and....Garden Pests!

I had to revise my schedule.  I am learning a lot about starting a business!  Mostly, that I don't know!  I have a tendency to let my enthusiasm carry me away...and everyone else is left standing there. So, in an effort to be "more real", I have asked my friend, Executive Director of Kerr Arts Cultural Center, Debbie Minns, to help me.

I am cancelling the class for Feb. 4 and moving the Renaissance Tiles Class to Feb. 18. Then adding Tan and White Basics to March 4th.  I have not put All Black and the Open Afternoon into the new schedule, but will at a later date. I am also planning to offer Zendalas as a Beyond the Basics Class.  Bear with me as I learn how to get the word out, and organize these fantastic classes.  The Zen and Zin is still on for March 18th, 5:30-7:30 pm.  I am also working with a friend in Boerne to hold classes there.  I'm so excited about the possibilities! (Calm down, Sharon! lol)

Here are some tiles I have been working on this week.  I hope you get a kick out of them!  My sister thinks I should put them in a picture book.  We'll see.  By the way, I have been working on some illustrations for a book a friend and I will co-publish.  This will be my second book illustration gig.  OK!  Now for.....GARDEN PESTS! Some of these are actually helpful, not a gardener, so maybe I should actually title it Garden Critters.  But, right now I like the word pests!  :)

Tangle Classes Scheduled!

Yes!  It's true!  There is now something on the calendar for Zentangle classes by a Certified Zentangle Teacher....me!  I am so excited to offer this wonderful art form to the Hill Country! My first Introductory Zentangle Class will be January 21st from 9:00 - 11:30 am. Classes will be held in Sue's Gallery at the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center, 228 Earl Garrett St, Kerrville, TX.  Sue's Gallery is on the north side of the center, just off of the  parking lot for the Center on Main St.  For this Introductory Class the cost is $45.00 per person, this includes all supplies.  IF YOU BRING A FRIEND,  I will discount your cost AND your friend's cost for this class to $35.00 per person! What a deal! 

A fun class to keep in mind for the month of March is the ZEN & ZIN.  This class will be March 18th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. The cost is $45.00, which includes the cost of the supply kit.  If you have come to one of my other classes you will save $10.00 because you will already have your supply kit! :)  This will be a fun class where you are invited to bring a beverage of your choice....hint, get the ZIN as in zinfandel?  But, it can be whatever you would enjoy.  I will bring the snacks.  We will have a very relaxing time!

The main point of the Zentangle method is to teach you to focus on the process, not the outcome. No matter what your artistic level you will create a beautiful piece of art that results in relaxation and feeling good.

Drop me an email, text or give me a call to get your name on the list.  Don't delay because class size is limited!

Tangle to untangle the mind!

Zendalas

I gave my sister some pre-strung Zendalas and she inspired me to do one of my own.  I made one and put it in the pretty notecards that Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts have developed. They are made with cuts to hold square or round tiles.  Here's the one I did for the round tile called a Zendala.
This was so much fun!  I am sending this one to my niece Jamie Rumph for her birthday!  (Happy Birthday Jamie!)
