How to draw VEEZLEY

I just love Veezley! This versatile tangle pattern comes from CZT® Sandy Hunter of Allen, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas, and it’s her first tangle on the site. Sandy is a graduate of the recent CZT8 class in February 2012.

On Sandy’s blog along with her instructions for drawing Veezley and several variations, she calls on “an old cookie-decorating trick” to demonstrate a foolproof way of drawing a freehand grid. It’s a great tip, and I love her witty way of coaching us step by step through her tangle.

I enjoyed drawing Veezley so much that I played with some of Sandy’s variations and flipped a couple of them around for a change of viewpoint.

Sandy introduces herself and explains how she became involved with Zentangle® …

“I was a cookie decorator for fourteen years, but then the economy tanked and after a very long, hard battle, the shop was forced to close its doors for good. I spent several months after that with the sinking feeling that I might never find my place in this world, because the job listings I was seeing out there didn’t suit my talents or abilities at all.

Husband, mother, friend- the three most important people in my life all had a hand in my introduction to Zentangle. First, my amazing husband, whose unfailing support and encouragement gave me the courage to try making it into a career. Second, my mom, who encouraged me to ‘like’ the Facebook page of a friend with an art studio, so I could see her upcoming class list (where I discovered the Zentangle class I took with Sandhya). Third, My former boss and friend, Linda, who learned about Zentangle from a fellow quilter and first introduced me to it. And finally, Rick and Maria, for creating the whole concept in the first place. They’re wonderful people, and I have found the whole CZT community to be very welcoming and encouraging.

So far I’ve only done a few classes, and they were of the small ‘home party’ variety. Pretty good, since I haven’t actively started seeking out places to teach yet!“
