Make a cute leather cover to keep your Zentangle® art all in one place! We’ll use the Ten Seconds Studio Cattle-ist Leather products and some of our Zentangle patterns to create a one-of-a-kind art journal.

Supplies to bring:
Zentangle basics kit

We will be working with leather stain, so you may want an apron and plastic gloves.

Class fee:   $40.00

I’ve used the Strathmore 4×4 tiles in mine because I just can’t stand the thought of putting holes in my original tiles!  But the originals will fit also.  I’ve started putting my favorite patterns on those tiles as monotangles and in alpha order so I have a quick reference.

Tangled Leather Art Journal

So it’s been a month since I started this, and I guess time flies when you’re having fun.  I’ve been practicing and catching up on all the new tangles, and I think I have a new one I created.

But the most fun I’ve had recently was creating a Leather Journal from an online class and kit from my friends at Ten Seconds Studio.  They normally use metal as their art form, but have just discovered that their tools for working on metal also work on their “Cattle-ist Leather.”  I happen to have a few of the metal tools because I love playing with the metal also, so when I saw the promo for the journal, my tangling mind went wild.  First, here is a picture of the finished journal.

And here are closeups of the tangles on the covers.  I had to experiment to see which tangles translate to the leather.  Cadent and Shattuck were the easiest to do, and my version of drupe worked pretty well.  H2, Hollibaugh and Flux were a little trickier because of the lines that are so close together.

I have more leather and the other color of stains to work with.  I can’t wait!
