I'm excited about this project and am down with it, clay. I thought about it and remembered that I did a zentangled project previously and I think that was on maybe a 3x3 card. I can't remember exactly but I do remember that it wasn't very big so maybe a twinchie would be good for those who aren't 100% confident with the style....less intimidating....so I retract my previous concern.
|
I love this IDEA! Definitely, I want to join.
Most of the designs need an extra fine tip, keep that in mind. And, let's make it known, you don't have to fill the whole background. That might encourage more to participate. |
Zentangles … twinchie size... look cool! They could make for neat fridge magnets.
|
Earlier there was a post about taking it twinchie on up to 3x5” size, user's choice, but I can't find that post now. Anyway if that's still the case I'd be interested.
|
Thanks for all the really great feedback. So far, just tossing ideas around.....want to wait til this project has been mailed out, so ...:)
Mainly just curious if my idea was a good one...apparently so...:) BBL after this project is mailed out.. |
Vision Board status! 1.Nanners: Wrangler 2.Clay: .Received 3.Butchie's Mabel: Received 4.Gemme- Received 5.Lyte: Received 6. Georgia Ma'am: arriving tomorrow per my informed delivery 7. nycfem / Jennifer: Received 8. CCB: en route 9. FSF: Received I should be able to get these mailed out on Saturday morning. I'd like to mail them priority but I don't think that's going to happen, we'll see how much the postage is. I'll report back after I get the last two. |

Yay! I'm glad they got there safe and sound.
As for the zentangles, I have my Microns and cardstock and just might start tinkering with them tomorrow. It's a day off with only a few errands so I'll have time to doodle and dawdle during the day. |

twinchie is a 2' x 2", right? ATC is 2.5" x 3.5" rinchies are: 1' rounds, right? So, will these 3 size choices be amenable to the project? :) |

ZENTANGLE ideas
Really great ideas & feedback!!
Here are my thoughts: 1. You can use any or all 3 choices of sizes a. ATC 2.5 x 3.5 b. twinchie 2" x 2" c. rinchie...a round 1" shape 2. You can use color OR do a B&W, or mix it up 3. TOTALLY OPTIONAL!!! You have choice to incorporate an animal OR a sun OR a whatever you wish into the piece. ONLY requirement is to use a zentangle as primary art! Cardstock should be used for these....:) 4. Bolder markers or crayons won't work with this project....probably microtip or ultra fine markers OR very sharp colored pencils 5. 4 week turn around time. 6. I was thinking if you do a rinchie, maybe make 2 of those for each participant... OK...anyone please chime in....thoughts, ideas, suggestions, or hugs greatly appreciated! Let's get our zentangle on....:) |

Last time I did a twinchie type thang... the shape was octagon … or pentagon… I've forgotten which. lol So... can we do whatever shape... so long as we keep it within the dimensions listed below?
Can we use other medium … foundation... besides cardstock? Four weeks seems a little short... since the designing/drawing/coloring/etc is going to be done by hand … and we don't yet know how many will be participating. Quote:

I feel 4 weeks is good. We have an average of about 10 per project...that's 28 days.

Hi Nanners,
The P.O. says my package was delivered today at 1:20 pm at your mailbox. Please confirm so I can stop worrying about it! Thanks, |
GeorgiaMa’am and CCB, both of yours arrived today!!
I will try to get to the post office before they close on Saturday UNLESS the 8-12 inches of snow comes early. Clay, I’m fine with the sign up being posted whenever you want. I’m excited about the zentangles! Another “first” for our group I believe. |

The zentangley part doesn't have to be super complicated. You can do tiny crosses in one section and circles in another and then parallel lines in the next one, etc. The main things to keep in mind are switching up the designs next to one another so you see the contrast (that's what makes it fun and visually appealing!) and to keep your connections tight (if a line is supposed to go all the way to the end of the page or image, don't let it fall short for example). This is a really fun type of project because it's fancy doodling and I think most of us do that. :) Quote:
You'll want to use a sturdy paper but you can use watercolor paper if it's smooth and doesn't have much of a tooth. You can actually find paper designed for markers, which is great too. The thin stuff bleeds through and if there's too much tooth, it'll make your lines wonky. I can knock an atc out of the park in about half an hour if I'm being super nitpicky or using a lot of color. They are actually very quick once you get going! One thing I like about zentangles is that even if you have a basic design and don't get fancy with shiny happy stuff, they look phenomenal. In fact, the cleaner and more simple they are, the better they look to me. I'm a sucker for them. :) |
If it's four weeks into the Wrangler's hands, then it's more like 3.5 weeks because a few of those days are need for shipping... so more like 24 days.
Don't think there's ever been a minimum number of days rule. No penalty for quicker artists who ship early. Quote:

here we go, zentanglers! and zentangler "virgins"..:)
ZENTANGLES.... What is Zentangle? Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity. Zentangle provides artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well being.Jun 3, 2012 Let's Draw - 001: How to Draw Zentangles (Doodle Art) - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ske2jBRBEB8 Parameters: • Can be any of OR a combination of these 3 sizes.... a. twinchie.....2"x2" b. trinchie.....a ROUND shape BUT must measure 2" in diameter...:) I "made" this one up as a one inch just doesn't seem big enough...) c. ATC......2.5" x 3.5" The project foundation needs to be done on a sturdy kind of paper OR board OR a zentangle tile ( I just found out they have these at Michael's...thanks, Gemme!)...IE...cardstock. ***** IF you use a heavier foundation, please be sure to consider sending extra fees for return postage for finished projects back to others. You have creative freedom to choose to do COLOR OR B&W...or a mix & match of both. It is probably best if we use a very fine felt marker or an extra sharp colored pencil, so as there are sharp, crisp lines...:) You may have the creative freedom to add some kind of symbol in your Zentangle IF YOU WISH. IE: a sun, an animal, or a tree:) You can chose to make an assortment of sizes, still only ONE per person UNLESS you choose to do more..:). For example, we have say 10 sign up, I may choose to make 3 of option a., 3 of option b, and 4 of option c.... Have fun, be creative, go outside the box.....:) • Sign up starts at 9:00 PM Eastern time 03/10/19 (Sunday) and closes at 9:00 PM Eastern on 03/17/19 (Sunday) Gives us FIVE weeks to get them done & in by! Projects are due back by 04/21/19 and are officially late if not received by 04/28/19. I will mail them back out within a couple or 3 days after final deadline...:) Maybe have a limit of 10 for this project? • • You must make one Zentangle for each participant. • On the back of your project please list these things: Project Name, your name, and WHOM it is for UNLESS you want wrangler to assign them. • Projects are due to me by April 21st. . You have a week grace period but after that, (April 28) your project will become shredded fodder and you don't get your package of projects that others made you. You also won't be able to participate again for 6 months. • Include $7 for the wrangler with your project. • Please, no glitter that is not sealed. ~ Please, nothing from a smoking home, as several are sensitive to smoke! Thank you! 1. clay (wrangler) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. RULES AS AGREED UPON TO BE ADDED AT THE END OF EACH PROJECT: "For 2019, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until six months from the latest date that the project was supposed to be due. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. Wranglers must mail out projects within one week of the latest date that the projects were supposed to be due. In addition to waiting six months before being able to join a penpal project, the person who has not met the latest deadline must post directly on the penpal thread within a week of missing the latest deadline stating that they have not adhered to the deadline (reason is welcome to be included or does not have to be) and, most importantly, the date on which they will be able to return to participating in the penpal projects. They must scroll back and add themselves to the bottom of the list of any other participants who have not met the late date for any project for 2018. If that is not done, then the member is welcome to participate in the thread with "thanks" and reps and thread chat but not to participate in any future projects for 2018. The reason for this is personal responsibility, so that we have a running record right on the thread that is easy to refer back to when needed. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules. Example: Bitsy misses the late date for a project. Within a week of that late date she must scroll down and find the most recent list of people who have missed the late date in 2018 and copy that list to a new post and add herself. Bitsy's post would look something like this: 'Sorry, I had the bird flu and missed the late date of 2/21/18. I can start participating in new projects on 8/21/18. I have added myself to the list below: 1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/18, able to participate 7/28/18) 2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/21/18, able to participate 8/21/18)' This rule must be posted in its entirety at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project." Please if you are currently timed out put yourself on the list and the dates of your time out because I am not responsible for doing that. |

Why would you mock artistic license or artistic endeavor? :blink: |
I was hoping to hear from nycfemme on this...:(. I am a little dubious "posting" it having not heard from her...:(
What say ye, nyc? Your input greatly appreciated & respected. I did give a 5 weeks timeframe for everyone.....most of us will be doing this kind of project for the very first time...:)...self included...:) |

I'm curious...do you know where you searched because they are pretty straightforward (inchie is an inch on each side, twinchie is two inches on each side, etc) and I'd love to see something outside the box. |

Naww… this was late 2017 so I don't recall specifically where I got my inspiration.
Well now... I'm curious and a bit confused because you participated in that twinchie project! lol Heck, you provided me with the definition of twinchie... … Twinchie = a 2 inch by 2 inch work of less miniature art <-- a lil linkie :p Soo... you actually received one of my "wonky little octagons." Guess I should have made them even more wonky so as to make them more memorable. lol SMH Quote:

That's the one... so glad you like it still! ;) And I tried SO hard to keep them from breaking by putting them in their own lil box. Some survived... some did not. :(

I haven't been responding because somehow I wasn't getting the emails alerting me to posts on this thread like I usually do. Annoying! In any case, I'm all for this project. It sounds great! I will definitely sign up when the time comes.
|
I am so happy to hear from you! I wondered what was up as it just wasn't "usual" to not hear something from you. I am glad you ARE okay & wasn't sick or anything.
Thanks for your support, always...I lovbe you more...:) |
I'm getting so excited about this project! I've watched some YouTube videos and I ordered some supplies that will be here Sunday. One of the things I ordered is a workbook, so hopefully I can get some skillz before I make the zentangles for you all!
|
I love my moose on the refrigerator see it everyday and smile magnet. Mine arrived in great condition in a cute little handmade decorated box, and the box was in good shape too. :)
|
Awww... yeah! ;)
*happy happy Snoopy dance* One day, I'm gonna replace those mooseses :p that arrived deformed! Clearly they were of inferior genetic stock! :blink: lol Quote:

Over the years, many projects have found their way to me in less than stellar shape. It's the chance we take when send it to someone and it's repackaged and sent off again. While you may package your stuff up like Fort Knox, the second mailing can shake things loose sometimes. I'm excited to see your next generation of twinchies! Or ACTs or twrinchies or whatever we're calling the little suckers. |
All of the vision boards are in my paws now. I did not have time to mail them yet, they will be going in the mail on Monday.
I want to compliment all of you for doing such a great job on the vision boards. I’d love to do this again at the beginning of next year. I’m super excited about the Zentangle project. I’m ordering supplies when I get paid on Friday. |
Now the zentangle project is sounding like lots of fun...

SIGNUPS are now OPEN for business!
