     2015 has been a wonderful time to visit with family.  Cindy Shepard’s family is so large that she hosted two family Christmas banquets in her home.  Now that the holidays are over, it is time to think toward 2016.

  Excitement is in the air!  
        In January, Cindy and I will attend CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) convention in Anaheim, CA to demonstrate ‘Zentangle® – Notan-style’ from her new book, Zentangle 12, in the Fox Chapel Publishing booth #1545.  If you are attending stop by from 12:00-2:00 on Saturday Jan 9 or from 10:00-12:00 on Sunday Jan 10 to let Cindy show you how.

#1 cindy Barb & Annie zia bird
My friend, Cindy Shepard, had a wonderful time teaching at Bella Crafts Connections in Minnesota. Cindy had fabulous students in her classes. Inspired by designs from the book ‘Zentangle 12’, Barb and Annie had fun putting together Quirky birds, Tangles, stencils, and colors.
#2 Cindy zen notan 3
One of Cindy’s favorite inspirations for Zentangle is the process of Notan (a Japanese inspired art that balances black and white – read all about it in ‘Zentangle 12’). Pictured here is an advanced design but even ‘newbies’ can create amazing Notan art.
#3 quirky bird with Shattered SG stencil
Birds and more birds… Cindy loves quirky images of birds. She incorporates Zentangle® patterns with whimsical bird figures. Nothing beats a Micron pen for tangling and the brilliant color for the birds was achieved with Inktense pencils and Koi Water Brushes. For extra punch Cindy added a ‘Shattered’ stencil design from StencilGirl.
