Tangled Gems: Tools and Supplies

Throughout this course, we will color five different colored gems in three shapes (round, elliptical and square). I'll use Prismacolor wax-based colored pencils on Zentangle tiles and Zendalas. The techniques I teach are for Prismacolor colored pencils; while other pencil types may work, your bet best at success is to use Prismacolor Pencils.

The supplies included in the optional kit are listed below the video, with notes indicating which colored pencils are used for each gem. It is not necessary to do every colored gem shown in the videos. If you don't purchase the optional kit, you could purchase just the pencils for the color you'd like to do at your local art store. Other optional supplies are also listed, with links for purchase on Amazon.com.

I hope you join me for Tangled Gems!

The following supplies are included in the kit; please note that the Prismacolor Pencils have been cut in half to keep the cost of the kit down. Once my website is updated, I will have a link for purchasing the kit; in the meantime, to purchase any of the supplies below, please email me at:
