This terrific class as taught by Lee Vause, a Certified Zentangle Teacher follows on from the Basic Zentangle Class and is based on Lee’s award winning quilt “Paradox”. Lee loves to create quilts based on the Zentangle theme and her “All in a Tangle” quilt is just another fine example of what can be created using a structured approach through couching and the use of other embellishments.
A number of Lee’s Zentangle Inspired works both pen and paper and quilts have been published not only in Australia but also overseas to include the popular book “The Beauty of Zentangle”. Other examples of Lee’s work include these cute looking wrens one set are FMQ and shaded and the other is digitised and machine embroidered.
