7F5R Studio is a Zentangle group with Debbie New and Stephanie Jennifer. Debbie collaborated with Ildica Boyd and Nina Dreher-Goddertz to create this years’ fabulous challenge.
Fragments were first introduced by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas in their book The Zentangle Primer. The concept includes both Reticula (the space where a fragment is added) and Fragments (a piece of a tangle).
Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas along with their illustrious team at Zentangle headquarters, create wonderful Zentangle art packs several times per year. Project Pack 12 was originally released in December 2020. I was super busy at the end of 2020 and did not have time to work through the creative process presented in this renaissance art pack. So here we are at the end of 2021 and I have finally finished creating the amazing art tiles.
I really enjoy participating in various challenges around the Zentangle community, and Inkober is one of my favorites. I look forward to the prompts from Seven Forests Five Rivers, Stephanie Jennifer. She curates a nice list of tangles with old favorites and plenty of new tangles to grow my repertoire.
I recently attended an amazing art retreat at Big Bear City in Southern California. The organizers of the retreat, Sharla Hicks and Beckah Karula sure know how to grow a budding artis't’s skills! I learned about new tools and techniques, was challenged to “push the darks farther”, and hung out with amazing friends for ten days high in the Southern California deset. What an amazing experience!
