Week 19. Friday,
March 29, 2013
Just when we thought the Hilton Head sisterhood couldn’t get
any more diverse, a Far Eastern connection has been uncovered. Sandhya “Zentangle” Manne has connections in
the East (India) and the West (Dallas, Texas).
[Note – Last week we had Kat and Dogs, this week Indian and Cowboys –
this group is definitely multi-dimensional.]
“Zentangle” is, as you would expect, a certified Zentangle
teacher. This means she teaches the
making of ‘beautiful images by drawing structured patterns … which are elegant
metaphors for deliberate artistry in life’.
This sounds very harmless but do not be fooled – this woman is a marketing
guru. She has put her M. Comm. to good
use in exploiting the online marketing universe. A quick internet search shows she has a
website, blog, facebook page, a presence on pinterest, linkedin, etsy, twitter,
meetup, as well as Daily Paint Works, and Fine Art America. One can only speculate at what would turn up
with an in-depth search.
Circumstantial evidence shows that this approach is
working. She seems to be adept at
extracting funds from the unsuspecting public in return for zen-like images
that “evoke calm, peaceful, spiritual and happy emotions”. She must be stopped before we become too
relaxed to care.
