See if you recognize some of your favorite CZT's on this two part video.

The quality of these two videos is not the best, and there is some background noise as they are recorded live at a CZT event. Still, I found them interesting and enjoyed hearing from a number of CZT's that I have recognized on the Diva Challenges, other YouTube videos, and various Blogs.

How to make lace doilies out of Chocolate.

Very good instructional video. Try this with some Zentangles that will conform with the limitations of working with chocolate. The teacher on this video, Julia Usher, is very good, and the quality of the video is clear and the sound is great. This one is worth a look. (Time 24:28 minutes)

Paper Making

This Video on Papermaking and the History of Paper is very good. It is long, but full of wonderful information. Ray makes paper beginning with cotton rags from T-Shirts and processes it into pulp and creates paper while he gives a great history accounting of its beginnings and origins. Watch this video in installments if you like, as it is about an hour in length. This will give you a very small idea of what is going on in the Fabriano Papermill as they make Tiepolo papers. As you recall, Tiepolo is 100% rag content paper. One can respect the high cost of these papers.

Inside a High Production Quality Paper Mill

This is a very well done, high quality (720P HD) professional video on the modern equipment used to manufacture todays quality, mass produced papers for the printing industry. I found this video mesmerizing. It is just a bit over 13 minutes long, and is packed with information and wonderful views of the equipment and processes involved in the paper making process. This video only emphasizes the huge capital investment, and technical expertise required, to produce the common sheet of paper. If this video interests you, search out more videos on this fascinating subject on the Internet.

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.
