Tomorrows Zentangle class at The Office Studio is going to be fabulous! We are going to be exploring the art of the string by designing on 6″ wooden disks called Tangle-on disks. What a great way to introduce Zentangle Inspired Art by having students create art on their own portable drawing surfaces!
I have found the Tangle-on disks to be invaluable to me. The disk is lightweight and fits in my purse or carry-on so I always have a flat surface to tangle a tile on. It came in quite handy last weekend when I was stuck at the Chicago airport for 6 hours! But honestly, it usually it just sits on the table by my chair where I use it every night. I like working on it rather than a table because it allows me to work closer to my face so I don’t stain my neck. It’s just a neat tool that works so well or me.
Tomorrows class is going to be about using the string to create Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA). The disks will be the perfect canvas for the students introduction in ZIA’s! Can’t wait to post pictures!!

Susan,
I love the 6″ disk and your first design! Absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful art creation!!! I am a card artist and in the back of my mind, planning how I can work Zentangle into my designs. This is really exciting. Thanks!

Susan, I sure wish I lived near Kansas City! The small disk is a fantastic idea and I love your sample! Next time I’m at the craft store, I’m going to look for a disk … but I was also thinking that I could put good quality paper on one of the many “craft” CDs I have around home. Thanks for the inspiration!
Ooooo, I love these. I want one! Yes, I am going to keep asking you for something till you give me one! I believe you promised me a signed original once….AHEM!!!
Absolutely awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
What is the tangle on disk? Is it just the round tiles? Or is it something else? I am a brand new CZT, so I’m interested in learning everything!
Theae are very cool. I want to do some to give as little surprises for some of my “tangle friends.” Can you tell me where to get these discs please?
Thanks,
Betsi
Are you actually using the disk instead of paper, that is, writing on the disk itself, or are you using it as a base to put a piece of paper on? From the examples, I think I see a wood grain on the surface of the disk and beneath the ink.
what stunning work, and I LOVE the discs. Where did you source them?
HiI was wondering where I can get these 6” disks? I love this idea. Please let me know! They’re beautiful
Where can I get the disks? They are great!
This is so incredibly beautiful!
