And then all of a sudden you get the urge of expressing yourself by creating something. The energy you seemed to have lost comes back during this creative process. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Zentangle has always been a very dear friend to me, especially in times when things got rough. You just draw these wonderful repetitive patterns and your mind gets in a calm and meditative state. We are programmed to always strive for results, but with Zentangle it's all about "one stroke at a time" and your state of mind while doing this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Zentangle community is a "family" like I've never met before online. Helpful, open-minded, respectful, supportive....only positive features describe the members of this wonderful Zentangle group.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thank you all for your support and positive feedback.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Claudia</span><br />

I don't know this Claudia person in Zentangle land."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No wonder, since my last post here dates from more than 2 years ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This doesn't mean I haven't tangled since 2013, but just not that much as I used to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I think it's time to show you some of my latest "work".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope you'll like them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Maybe some of you will recognize these from my Facebook page)</span><br />

<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">Since the aboriginal dot paintings also have repetitive patterns like Zentangles I thought it was okay...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">Just a while ago I saw <a href="http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/aboriginal-art/colleen-wallace-nungari/dreamtime-sisters-176/">the aboriginal dot painting "Dream Sisters"</a> made by Colleen Wallace Nungari, while I was googling for some inspiration. </span><br />

It feels like I've lost a very very dear friend<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something really strange happened to me after having attended an official Zentangle workshop last May. I experienced a total Zentangler's block!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">I purchased the official Zentangle tiles and pencil and I managed to make some ZTs the following two days. And then...I got stuck...not a bit, but totally stuck!!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">My precious Zentangles which had accompanied me during a very hard and difficult period in my life didn't give (?) me the mental peace and calm anymore. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">And today it finally struck me.... I tried to tangle according the Official Zentangle way. Using official Zentangle tiles and draw without a pre-planned intention.... </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">I confined myself too much to the meditative part of Zentangle and completely forgot the creative part I like so much. And that doesn't work for me at all. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">I will show you my ZTs here and I think you'll notice the lack of enjoyment, inspiration.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br />

<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">I've been busy with work, family, painting the house and some other projects.</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">Just a few weeks ago my dad fell with his bike and broke his hip. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">So he got a new hip and was hospitalized for a week. Now he's rehabilitating at home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">Our house was in desperate need of some paint and as you all know probably, this takes more time than you estimate. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">I also initiated a sort of campaign for the women's shelter in Dordrecht. Together with ten girls of my daughter's Child Care facility we painted 5 large canvases/canvasses (don't know the right word in plural for canvas..) to brighten up the rooms for the kids who are staying there.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana;">Just wanted to let you know that I did not forget all of my dear Zentangle Friends, but there have been some other things in my life which had more priority. </span>Claudiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13532132400444380229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548939150871198361.post-12205561363764471502011-04-05T17:30:00.000+02:002011-04-05T17:30:53.310+02:00Challenge #16 - Mooka<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week's challenge on <a href="http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/2011/04/weekly-challenge-16.html">I am the Diva </a>blog of Laura Harms is to create a traditional Zentangle tile or ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art) using the new official tangle: Mooka.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">I thought this wouldn't be too difficult...but when "filling in" some patterns I used straight lines... Oops, I was just in time to change them into curved lines.</span><br />

Are we exploiting the world's natural resources too much? Or is it "just" the way our planet earth works?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">Nevertheless, what's happening to Japan, Chili, New Zealand, Australia, America etc etc is affecting "real" people. Families have lost their dear ones, their houses completely washed away, their belongings gone forever etc etc. How much more can they take? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Let's make some heartwarming Zentangles just to show we care!!!!</span><br />

LOL</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">I also love Zetti Art or <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/zettiology/">Zettiology</a> (go and have a look at the Flickr's group).</span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">So every now and then I'm experimenting with this. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">In <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><em>Cloth Paper Scissors edition 2006 </em><a href="http://www.clothpaperscissors.com/Art-Journaling/">Violette</a> presents some Art Journaling Techniques. That's where I saw a lovely Zetti-like face, which inspired me to draw the following face of my Check Maid.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">I'm anxious to learn from you what you think about it...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">I decided to let the color do it's work in my "ZT".</span><br />

</div><span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blue is one of my favorite colors!!! For me it represents "space, freedom, <span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">tranquillity</span>". </span>Claudiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13532132400444380229noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548939150871198361.post-53151207963799442922011-03-01T15:05:00.000+01:002011-03-01T19:56:39.885+01:00Weekly Challenge # 11<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is my attempt for the Weekly Challenge # 11 on <a href="http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/2011/02/weekly-challenge-11.html">Laura Harms' blog I am the Diva</a>. The challenge is to create a Zentangle by using just one tanglepattern. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">I don't know whether my pattern really has a name, but I use it quite often.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">It's very dynamic and the way of how you shade it can also change it's feature (if that's the correct word for it....)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">Since I am a huge fan of <a href="http://leeanniszentangleiing.weebly.com/">Ledenzer's </a>way of coloring Zentangles I tried to color some of the tangle spaces like she does. Better try next time.....</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes people do tend to forget that there are no patterns, figures, objects, words etc without space between them. This space defines the object... It's like the saying: ""There's no music without the pause between the music notes" (or something like this...;-) )</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I created a very simple Zentangle with some coloring to emphasize the effect of space between the patterns. Yes, I know it's not my most wonderful Zentangle, but it clearly states what "The Space Between" can mean for your drawing. Or even for your life.... We all need a pause, break, rest every now and then to become more aware of our surroundings and really learn to appreciate what's surrounding us. Don't you think so? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wow, did I really learn something these past 45 years? LOL ;-)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, here it comes:</span><br />

<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A part of me is saying: "Do you really have to share this ZT with other people? It's not such a special or beautiful Zentangle..." But on the other hand, what's wrong with simplicity? Life is already as complicated as it is...</span>Claudiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13532132400444380229noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548939150871198361.post-75681967019045093902011-02-20T16:42:00.000+01:002011-02-20T16:42:22.033+01:00Theme 3 on Dutch Zentangles group: "Geluk" (Happiness or Luck)<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 3rd theme on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/dutch-zentangles/pool/with/5458496927/">Flickr's Dutch Zentangle Group</a> is ""Geluk", in English "Happiness" or "Luck". It's how you interpretate the Dutch word Geluk.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">To me it stands a.o. for Love, Commitment (as in marriage), having good Luck in your life (every now and then)...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">Hopefully I captured this all together in my Zentangle: </span><br />

<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shattered: "<span style="color: #76a5af;">burst suddenly into pieces, as with a violent blow". </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #76a5af;">This is what I see in the pattern "Scraper"...shattered, as with a violent blow...of life itself. You burst into pieces, but you know you have to keep the pieces together... using all kinds of strings and finally you succeed. Although it feels like surviving and not living, this is what you are capable of at this moment. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">So the strings in this ZT are keeping the patterns (pieces) together. </span><br />

<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(But he looks much younger!! ;-) ) </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">The 3rd of February, so he's an Aquarius.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: #76a5af;">I'm really "in love" with the Zodiac series I saw on</span> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/studio_ml/5309830490/in/photostream/">Mariet's Flickr photostream</a><span style="color: #76a5af;">. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">Totally inspired by her Zodiac Zentangles I also gave it a try and I think it turned out rather well....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">Today it was my day off, so me and my daughter went out to visit him and give him his present (and some "birthday-cash"). </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">I think he was somehow pleasantly surprised with this "unusual" present, which he liked very much.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">Thought it would be fun to do Zentangles with a love theme and since Valentine's day is just around the corner... </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">So let your heart speak and tangle with love! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">You're "killing two birds with one stone" (twee vliegen in een klap)...</span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">You had fun with tangling and on Valentine's day you'll have a very personal present for the one you love. ;-)</span><br />

<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana;">To transfer the images on your paper you can print them out, "colour" the back of the copy with a grey/black pencil and then turn the copy put it on your paper and go around the lines with a sharp pencil to transfer the image.</span><br />

Since there was no group for Dutch Zentangle artists on Flickr I thought it was a good idea to start one. Holland is "blessed" with so many creative artists. That's something we really can be proud of. </span><span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">Applaus for our Dutch creative souls! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">Once in every two weeks there will be a theme, which is not meant to be a challenge. It's just an extra or when you're facing an "inspiration-block".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">This week (untill Saturday) we have Spring as a theme. My dear Flickr friends made really beautiful Spring themed Zentangles.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">As administrator of this group I participated also. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">So I had a try and the following Zentangles are the result:</span><br />

<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">They really saved the day, or actually they saved the last few months.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">I don't know where I would have been without Zentangles and my dear "friends" on Flickr. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-family: Verdana;">Creating Zentangles worked and still works as a sort of therapy for me. It's meditating and creating at the same time. Your mind is focused on the proces of creating. Your thoughts are being diverted from your daily stress, problems, worries to those lovely black lines you're drawing on paper. Sometimes this proces even sorts out your problems, makes things clear in a sort of light bulb moment. In fact, that's what happened to me more than once.</span><br />
