Zentangle Project Pack No. 30

"The greatest discoveries are those that shed light unto ourselves."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is funny how, when you think about it, so many things we do and experience in our lives end up influencing things that happen down the road.


When Maria was a young mother, she helped run an art supply and frame store. This gave her the opportunity to learn new skills around frame building and to gain knowledge about papers, pens, paints, and more. One of her favorite items was a drawing surface that she recovered from the scrap bin. The moment she saw it, she knew her pens would just sink into the surface. It was love at first stroke.


Over the years, Maria continued to use this beautiful surface as a backdrop, protecting her desk while offering a comforting surface to lay her paper. It became a place to catch spilled ink, a wandering stroke, or a meandering drawing. She always sensed that this surface was so much more, and that its true moment to shine was yet to come. Years later, the surface or "blotter," as she called it, would become a work of art in itself.


Today, we revisit this gorgeous surface in a Project Pack, offering it as an ideal landscape for tangles. Get ready... there's a new tile in town!


Videos will be released via our website and newsletter every other day beginning August 7, 2026.


Remember, part of the fun of the Zentangle Project Pack Series is the element of surprise. Please refrain from sharing or posting photos of the contents prior to the release of the videos. Thank you!
