Zentangle
We are plotting an American veteran adventure! We are well on our way tangling every state for the group entry into the 2018 Veterans Creative Arts Festival.
I started with the states I love the most: (Utah, New Mexico, Alaska), and currently as of Oct. 4th, I’m working on Arizona. Next will be Colorado and lastly Wyoming to complete the intermountain West.
Stephen Bradshaw Blue started the project with me and has been a tenacious tangler. He started in Georgia and has been working on the southern states.
Other vets include Bill starting on Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
Stay tuned as the states stack up for a fun filled project.

Hi Mark – tell me more about this Veterans project.
Sonny
Hi Sonny,
I hope all is well down South. All my best to you and Peggy.
I have been teaching the Zentangle method to vets at the VA in Milwaukee for the past year and a half. We are in the process of a U.S. map project where myself and other vets are tangling each individual state and then combining them as a group entry into the Veterans Creative Art competition. I will be posting our progress leading up to the show starting in February of 2018. If we win in Milwaukee then we are entered into the national show.
Thanks for your inquiry and I look forward to hearing about your next adventure. It was nice seeing you in Beaver Dam.
Take care,
Mark Duran
