Gathering #10

July Gathering.

This was such a fun get together, including another local CZT, Tanya, who went to the 20th seminar. She found the Intermountain Tanglers online and joined us for the first time when we last met, July 12.
Welcome, Tanya!

Starting front/left, going counterclockwise: Lisa, Ivory, Dave, Leslie, her sister Judy, Tanya, and Heidi Sue. (Didn't I say that Dave WOULD be in this group pic? A JoAnn's worker took the pic for us.)

You sassy girls!

Dave got busy with his camera, as always.

This is Tanya!

Leslie brought alcohol inks and glossy cardstock to play with

Leslie's ink card was so warm! She started tangling on it right away. We want to see if the pigma perma pens work better on the glossy finish, because we found the regular pigma microns smeared. The glossy paper just doesn't hold onto the pigma ink well.

Judy checking out a pen


Ivory kept at it, making one piece after another in pencil

A bold piece with strong patterns and an eye popping palette.

We shared a lot of our pieces together. This colorful spiral mandala is Judy's creation.
Not quite finished, but a good start, to be sure.

like a rose window in a cathedral

Leslie worked on this zendala and brought it. The precision in her lines is impeccable! Very impressive work. Her inspiration for this piece was PeterDraws on youtube. He has many videos depicting his process, methods, thinking, and his amazing style of art. Similar to zentangle, but definitely with his own flair.

Good stuff, Leslie!

A little bit like a landscape?

Heidi Sue had a piece in her sketchbook, done in black ink, with a few sections of green ink, shaded in various hues of green.

Dave has been very busy with organizing and tidying up his home, along with a pretty big project involving the sidewalk and a local scout who is fixing up that sidewalk for his Eagle Project. so Dave hasn't produced as much art as is his usual habit. Next time, there'll be something from him. At least, we sure do hope so!

Intermountain Tanglers info.

The Intermountain Tanglers, (IT) is a gathering place for Zentangle® artists in the Salt Lake area. This blog's primary purpose is to keep member artists updated on current meeting information. It will be updated if sudden changes occur in Times or locations of Meetings.

Our current schedule is to meet on the Second Sunday of each month. (Check the "IT Gathering Update" panel for last minute changes) We are trying to keep the meeting times from 3:00 pm to 5:pm. Our current location is the Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft store on Redwood Road at 5970 South. The maximum number of attendees will be around 12 Tanglers, but a few more may be accomodated. Due to this variable, we are forced to enforce a strict RSVP policy.

Our first meetings have been a lot of fun. Getting together as Zentangle® artists is so enriching, educational and entertaining that Heidi and I both wanted to join a gathering of artist like those which occur in other cities. None were available on Web searches in Salt Lake. So we started our own group, without guidance, or foreknowledge of what to do. We are trying our best to make it a rich experience for folks interested in this awesome art form. I would expect that there are groups in the Salt Lake area that are getting together to Tangle and socialize, but they are on an invitational only basis.

Please visit Zentangle.com, to find out about this wonderful art form, from the founders, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.

Meeting Details

Why are we meeting on SUNDAY?

(JoAnn's has graciously booked us into their in-store class room. This is a great facility and will give us the room we need to expand. This is the classroom that Jo-Ann's uses for all their classes. The only day with any available class time is Sunday. If you can work the Gatherings Sunday Meeting Time into your schedule, you will find it to be a wonderful relaxing activity to participate in. We realize the sensitivities some have about Sunday schedules. If we find an adequate meeting place on another day of the week, we will look into it enthusiastically.)

What to bring with you to the Gathering?

Bring some basic drawing supplies and materials, as we will be drawing during the time we have together. Also bring any tiles, sketchbooks or other artwork you'd like to share. If you have a project you are working on and would like to pursue that, please bring it with you.

The Jo-Ann Classroom.

Heidi and I have checked it out and we will have a great location for our gatherings. There are Twenty chairs in the class room, and usually six tables. The class room is located in the right-rear corner of the store.

You are allowed to have light snacks and drinks as long as things get cleaned up spic and span. We will also be able to move the tables and chairs around but are expected to put them back the way we find them.

This facility is available to us on a month-by-month basis. So please check this Blog each month for updates. I will still be sending out email reminders during the week prior to the Meeting Date.

Any questions, concerns, requests, suggestions please leave a Comment using the Contact Form in the Left Column of this Blog.

Thanks everyone, this is really going to be terrific.

Keep Tangling.
