#1 cindy Barb & Annie zia bird

My friend, Cindy Shepard , had a wonderful time teaching at Bella Crafts Connections in Minnesota. Cindy had fabulous students in her classes. Inspired by designs from the book ‘Zentangle 12’ , Barb and Annie had fun putting together Quirky birds, Tangles, stencils, and colors.

#2 Cindy zen notan 3

One of Cindy’s favorite inspirations for Zentangle is the process of Notan (a Japanese inspired art that balances black and white – read all about it in ‘Zentangle 12’). Pictured here is an advanced design but even ‘newbies’ can create amazing Notan art.

#3 quirky bird with Shattered SG stencil

Birds and more birds… Cindy loves quirky images of birds. She incorporates Zentangle® patterns with whimsical bird figures. Nothing beats a Micron pen for tangling and the brilliant color for the birds was achieved with Inktense pencils and Koi Water Brushes . For extra punch Cindy added a ‘Shattered’ stencil design from StencilGirl .


Zentangle pattern, enjoy and create!!
