OH La-La! It's Bijou!

 Please Don't Eat This Petit Escargot!



The newest member of the Zentangle family is Bijou, a French snail that hitched a ride on Maria's suitcase!  Bijou has his own tile, a 2-inch square, with his name and likeness on the back!









Bijou was introduced at the CZT 14 & 15 seminars this June. These little tiles are great for monotangles  (see "Zentangle Glossary" page ).

Here are a few that I have done:


CZT Cherryl Moote has offered a free mini-e-book with directions on how to make a folder for Bijou tiles out of folded paper. Her link: http://www.mootepoints.com/ebooks.html

Here is a photo of the one I made:

The tiles fit in the side pockets, and it folds in half. I used double-sided scrap-book paper for mine, but any good paper will work. It was very easy to do! Thanks so much to Cherryl Moote!

Other CZTs have reported finding 2" square mini photo frames, and one even found a wooden multi-frame at Walmart. I am going to do some checking around town and see what I can find.
To purchase Bijou tiles, ask your local CZT, or find them online at Zentangle.com.
