Tangling Here, There, and Everywhere: WOYWW 170

 Are you here from the Stamping Ground for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday? Thanks for visiting! Even if you're not, scroll down to find out what is on my workdesk this week!

I had a hankering to tangle between classes, and I chose to sit in this fabulous desk/chair. I think this is a Zentangle throne, the ideal tangling seat. First of all, that desk platform rotates forward and back, so you can pull it right up to you. I always seem to be skooting (Yes, that is a technical term. Skooting is pulling your chair towards a table, skootching is pushing a chair away from a table. Yes, I just made that up.) my chair closer to the table, and still can't get close enough. There's just enough space for tangling supplies, but not too much space. Then there's the lighting! The wall behind the chair is entirely glass, providing ample illumination. It's rather comfy - and look! Is that 'Nzeppel? I believe it is, right there on the armrests! This chair was clearly designed with tangling in mind. I wish I could bring one home!

I've got your basic tile and pen, my trusty iPod Touch (for looking up tangle patterns and such), my strawberry/blueberry snack leftovers, my Camelbak Groove filtered water bottle (excellent for removing that nasty water fountain taste from the water), and my homemade Zentangle kit.

Here's what's inside that little tin of goodness. The tin was originally for CDs, but it's perfect for Zentangle supplies. You can see two sizes of Pigma Microns and one Graphic One marker, a tortillion (for shading),  multiple pencils (each one of these have been my favorite for shading at one point, with the most recent being the one from Zentangle.com), a white Gelly Roll gel pen with a white Prismacolor pencil (for black tiles, of course), a pile of tiles (a mixture of completed, blank, regular, ATC, and black), a pencil sharpener, a piece of scratch paper for testing pens, and (Gasp!) a kneaded eraser. I know, I know, there's no eraser in Zentangle, but my perfectionist side demands an eraser. And I don't use it that often. Just a little here, there, and, okay, everywhere (on a side note, I think that was my first Beatles reference on the blog! Score one for me!).

Everything. Plus my shoe.

And of course, to be all artsy and have a sense of continuity and identity to my WOYWW, I had to do the obligatory effect picture. It's all about the tile and pen, coming together in their enchanting dance. Sigh. How beautiful. I'll let them waltz away (okay, so it may be more of a Foxtrot) to "Here, There, and Everywhere" in peace.
