a Zendala (and I’m back!)

I have been gone from this blog for a while because my family moved across country, from Raleigh, NC to Houston, TX. With all the packing and moving and being in temporary corporate housing, I didn’t have much time to do any art at all. However, a few days ago, I finally sat down and worked on a Zendala.

Zendalas are very different from traditional Zentangles in that they require a little planning and thought. The first one I did just looks like a non-cohesive mess of tangles, since I did it in the traditional way of just picking a pettern and seeing what emerges.

The meditative aspects of Zentangle still can be achieved with Zendalas – just pick your patterns in advance. And above all, relax. They are a lot of fun.

I kept mine simple with just a few tangles, and I am pretty proud of the way it came out.

Zendala Tiles are here!

Zendala Set

Zendala tiles are about 4-5/8″ (117mm) diameter and are die cut with the familiar deckle edge and use the same paper as the square white tiles.
Each Zendala set has twenty-one tiles, eighteen  pre-strung tiles and three blank, all housed in a cute tin.
Here is a sample that Zentangle sent us of Zendalas.

Until May 1st, you can only buy these from CZTs.

The retail price for Zendalas is $24.95.
If you would like to order some, please contact me at onceuponatangle at gmail dot com.
If you are local and in any of my art groups, I can deliver them to you at our upcoming meetings. Or if you want to prepay by PayPal online and pay shipping, then I can have them shipped directly to your home.
