The actual size of the pieces are 3 1/2 inches square. The numbers in the calendar Zentangles© are done in
Since the beginning of the year, I have had the opportunity to teach the Zentangle process to dozens of people of all ages.

Tomorrow is the second art/craft sale, the Holiday Craft Lounge, that I am participating in this month. The Holiday Craft Lounge has been organized by Anthology and is taking place in the lobby of the Overture Center, outside of Overture Hall.
