GRAND GOURDS PATCH

10/17/2013

The gourd group in Rockford took a break from gourds at this months meeting and went back to the drawing board so to speak. Bobbie Lee a MSG member took her micron pens, pencils, paper, and a whole mess of tangles to the class to teach about the art of zentangle. There were about a dozen ladies with pen in hand doing tangles "one stroke at a time".After about 4 1/2 hours they had several tangles under their belt. A few ladies had a gourd or two that they had done tangle patterns on. We discussed making a gourd "quilt" with everyone doing a different tangle on it then donating it to a good cause to raffle off. The pictures shown are Bobbie's, 3 bracelets with a separate tangling on each inside and out (por fin, merryweather, and fiore are the names of the tangles used). The maranka gourd with over 50 different tangles wood burned on it. Bobbie will be teaching another gourd group the zentangle method up in Jackson on the 9th. Good job ladies looking forward to seeing what you've learned and applying it to our beloved gourds.
Peace Love and Gourding

Hi, I am a gourd artist in California and was recently introduced to zentangle. I’d love to do zentangle art on gourds. Do you use pigma micron markers or other markers on your gourds? Do they bleed when you varnish them or do they hold their color? If you’ve got a moment can you give me some pointers? Thanks. Barbara
