Back in spring I learned about a new (to me, anyway) doodling/drawing technique called Zentangle.
My first Zentangle
The basic ideas is that you take a shape, usually a square, divide it up into smaller sections, and then draw “tangles” inside them. The tangles are patterns that have been created by fellow Zentanglers. Simple, fun, fast, and it doesn’t require you to be an artist. And believe me, I’m not artist. Best of all, the only things you really need paper and pen.
Latest Zentangle
Since my artistic ability is all but non-existent, I haven’t made very many. But, I have enjoyed my little experiments. I’ll be taking a short class on Zentangles in October, as part of the Creativ Festival. Until then, I’ll just continue to play around and have fun.

That looks like a lot of fun!
with everything you stitch and make how can you not call yourself an artist? 😉
They look like blackwork done with a pen!
I was just thinking the same as Joanne! Neat idea, though I don’t think I could manage even this. I can’t draw a stick figure! LOL
