ZEnTAngLE®The world of Zentangle® is evolving, growing and expanding. These intriguing patterns all begin with simple lines; the spaces are filled in, one step at a time. There are no mistakes, only opportunities. Every tangle becomes more attractive and complex as areas are filled. Like life, the designs develop into something unique and beautiful as they grow. Any image with open spaces provides a perfect canvas for “Zentangling.” Rubber stamps with outline images provide the perfect starting point for both skilled artists and those who think they can’t draw. These versatile graphics can be used to decorate any surface. Calligraphers and graphic artists find tangling particularly appealing. It is a relaxing and expressive art form. It is guided doodling using texture and pattern and is meditative. It will help you learn to focus, relax your mind, and can boost your creative confidence. But beware – this is highly addictive fun. 3.5”x3.5” squares of art paper provide the surface. Artist Trading Card blanks work too.

S620. dappen dish. These small, wide-mouthed glass containers with a relatively heavy base are ideal for holding gesso, ink or gouache. They are widely used by pointed pen professionals. Peter Thornton used a dampen dish to reconstitute

prepared gesson in a gilding workshop that John attended. He put a piece of prepared gesso in one of these small shot glasses, added drops of water, and brought the gesso to the correct consistency. He then applied the gesso to his quill or pen from the dappen dish. $1.85 each S620-12. Box of 12 dappen dishes. $19.70. You save $2.50. Purchase two or more boxes and pay only $18.00 each.

Easy to write on and a little thicker than most text weight papers, it is great for certificates and one-off pieces. A paper you will use again & again. Give it a try. The New Diploma Parchment is a warm beige (off-white) and recommended by Vivian Mungall. The old Diploma Parchment was a yellowish cream. "This paper is beautiful. When I first put my pen on this paper I was amazed at how lovely it is, much bet-ter than the old Diploma Parchment. I create many corporate documents (resolutions), and I like how the paper gilds and takes paint. We print logos with our Epson 3800 (a small professional printer) and the paper takes the ink beautifully. There is no feather-ing or bleeding. It is the same with the ink from my pen. The new Diploma Parchment has been great. I recommend it. It is a nice weight and is also fine for handmade books." – Rosemary Buczek. 17"x22". $1.20 per sheet / 10 sheets $9.95 34"x22". $2.25 per sheet
