While we did go to Paris, the only "Bijou" that we brought back was in our hearts. * Please note that this is "A Fanciful Tale." Bijou's image is born out of Maria's pen and his story, out of our playful imaginations.
After all, "Anything is possible, one (slow and deliberate) stroke at a time!™" We are pleased to introduce you to Bijou, our friend and artist, here to guide us and remind us of many profound characteristics of the Zentangle Method as only Bijou can. We are thrilled to be able to share them with you. Bijou's insights, that only a snail could have, are relevant and inspiring to us humans. We are excited and thrilled that Bijou has decided finally to come of out his/her** shell (so to speak) after becoming more comfortable communicating in this particular human language.īijou's passion for Zentangle is obvious. We now enjoy a wonderful collaboration that has resulted in new web pages and products. Over the years since that magical morning, Bijou's front porch tangles have turned into conversations. Was that really a smile that played across Bijou's glance?
"Maria, come see!" Together, we watched Bijou knowingly look up at us and then move slowly and steadily off into the ferns. At the end of this tangled trail was Bijou! Before placing her (or was it him?) down among the ferns we named this adventurous and beautiful snail "Bijou" which means "little jewel" in French.*Ī couple days later when I went out to pick up the morning paper, I noticed a glistening tangle on our front porch. We decided to place him (or was it her?) gently among the ferns in our front yard. However, this was no ordinary snail! When we unpacked our luggage after returning home, we discovered this snail had hitched a ride in our luggage! It looked perfectly comfortable at our home in Massachusetts. It was time for dinner so we decided to leave it undisturbed so it could find its way back home. Startled by its beauty, she smiled and called to me to share her discovery. patterns inspired by the art, architecture, and nature that surrounded us in Paris.īack at our hotel, Maria spotted a small snail crawling up the zipper of her suitcase. Our Zentangle discovery had recently occurred and our heads and hearts flooded with ideas and dreams of what was to come on this exciting new path.Įverywhere we looked we saw patterns to be deconstructed. We had a wonderful time wandering its streets, museums, and city scenes. In 2006, shortly after the birth of Zentangle, we (Rick and Maria) took a trip to Paris.
