Zentangle and Mrs. Garfield?
A Visit to Mentor Ohio
While on vacation, I encountered an unexpected and pleasant surprise while touring the historic home of President and Mrs. Garfield in Mentor, Ohio. Mrs. Garfield was quite an artist. If anyone has the opportunity to visit this home, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
What stood out immediately was the wallpaper in the entrance hallway. It has Zentangle written all over it. See for yourself:
This wallpaper appears in other rooms of the home as well, which tells me it must have had great appeal to Mrs. Garfield.
President Garfield was assassinated before completing the first year of his presidency, and before completing the initial renovations to this home. Most of what exists today is a credit to Mrs. Garfield. Among many other projects, she expanded the home to include a memorial Presidential library in which to house all of President Garfield's important papers and books. This is perhaps the first Presidential library ever to be built. Mrs. Garfield oversaw all of the design and construction. Quite a feat for a woman at the turn of the 20th century.
The library is a room in which one could just sit for hours and hours. The architectural details are just beautiful. I encourage anyone with an opportunity to visit the home to do so. Admission is a very reasonable $5.
The wallpaper design is original and this second photo shows the old paper(circa 1880) next to the new paper created for the restoration. A very good match.
Most disappointing on this trip was to continue on to Columbus only to discover that Lisa Ruschman, fellow CZT #2 and friend, lives in Mentor! Anyone who wants to venture to Mentor, OH - I can tell you it is a lovely corner of Ohio, and the USA. The Garfield home would make for a great Mansion Tangle Hunt.
Happy Tangling!

Challenge #54 Purple Haze
I have been away from the Diva's Challenges for quite awhile but when I saw this week's challenge I thought of a recently tangled bookmark in which I used a deep purple. My answer to Challenge #54, "Purple Haze."

Vitamin "Z" - Free Bookmark
After a nasty cold, and very little desire to do anything, I was finally able to sit and draw yesterday. It had been awhile, with the Christmas chaos and all, since I had allowed myself to just create. With music on and pen to paper, I was quickly reminded just how nourishing it is to be disciplined about my creative time, especially Zentangle. It reminds me of taking vitamins. Especially Vitamin D in the winter. Below is a bookmark I created to remind myself to also take some Vitamin "Z" every day.
Happy New Year to all. May it be a healthy and happy 2012!

Parasail•z Tangle Pattern

The Inspiration
The Inspiration
The recent weekly challenge, from http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/, challenged me to play with the ZentangleÒ pattern Paradox and is what started this adventure. I find it interesting that patterns I initially am not drawn to, when experimented with, become some of my favorites.
I got a real chuckle out of the Zentangle blog post response to this challenge, specifically the last image in the post. True to the promise of what Zentangle has to offer, the lines on my paper started to dance and take form. One thing led to another, and the analogies appeared one by one. Or was it two by two?
The Tangle Unfolding
The shape of the sail, a triangle with curved lines, began the unfolding. Having an “Escher” moment, I completed the square in a mirror type fashion. It was then that I had what I like to tell my students is an “Emeril” moment. Bam! Two sails! Better yet, a Pair of Sails to go with a Pair of Docks!
It wasn’t until later that the second “Emeril” moment occurred. While considering the possibilities of shading this pattern, the “Z” sprang to life and then I really had a good laugh.
How unexpected, what fun! I just had to pass it on.
