Zentangle
I have a new obsession - Zentangles. Basically, it is like doodling, but with intention. It looks much harder than it is. I made myself a little book, just for my zentangles. It is 6 inches square, made from Strathmore Bristol smooth paper, bound with my bind-it-all.

Some Zentangle Play...... I did this while watching TV a while back, in my Art journal. So relaxing.

Today everything came together quite nicely, as I collected a few more patterns and revised some previously-gathered patterns–filling all of my outlines objects with Zentangle patterns! Here is my resulting explorations: Tomorrow is the last day of this month’s challenge! I have definitely enjoyed the texture and pattern explorations through Zentangle. For the last day of this month’s challenge, work on adding shading and or color to your Zentangle. 1. 2. 3. 4. ‘Til tomorrow…happy explorations! Like this: Like Loading...

Because I got many requests, I will also write in Dutch from now! Lines, dots, circles, arcs, the S-shape, and arising therefrom ovals, triangles, squares and rectangles, scrolls and spirals, waves and zigzags....With these basic elements we build up the tangle patterns, they form the basics of Zentangle®! Quite soon after I had read the directions in the Diva's Weekly Challenge #123 I knew I wanted to create "something" with those. What a nice challenge!!But not before yesterday evening because my week was filled with fun outings. Omdat ik veel verzoekjes kreeg, zal ik vanaf nu ook in het Nederlands schrijven! Lijnen, stippen, rondjes, bogen, de S-vorm, en daaruit voortvloeiend ovalen, driehoeken, vierkanten en rechthoeken, krullen en spiralen, golf- en zigzaglijnen....Met deze basiselementen bouwen we de tanglepatronen op, ze vormen de basis van Zentangle®! Wednesday was for household chores (pffft) and the half-yearly dentist visit (everything okay, yeah!). Thanks to: Met dank aan:
New Pattern: Allium
I have recently joined Pintrest. I think that there are several of you who are on Pintrest as well as I have found you and because there is a lot of zentangle art posting. I don't go on as much as I could but I have to be prepared to sit for a while when I log in. There is a lot to see. If anyone doesn't have an account and would like one, I think it is still join by invite, just hit me up via email and I'll send you an invitation. Why all the Pintrest stuff? Is that not awesome? 1. had the nerve. 2: Was sure my kids wouldn't hate me. 3. An anonymous commenter has noted who the artist is. I was really taken buy the whole thing but I was drawn to the pattern on the left in the middle. I say to end with an empty space on the outside as I found that to end with black, the pattern runs together with the next one. I tried it in several tangles. I have a little trouble keeping this pattern small. I hope you like it.
Doodling « Elizabeth Rosenberg's Blog
I’ve always been a doodler. All the way back in my high school days, I used to doodle while the teacher was lecturing (though I might have been better off if I’d taken notes instead). I’d fill page after page of my notebooks with doodles. Most of them featured spirals, which I loved even back then. I’ve always found that my creativity is greatly influenced by music, and I try to make that work for me in my studio as often as possible by listening to music that makes me feel good. I thought it might be fun to share some of the doodles I’ve been creating lately. All of my doodles start out simple, like this one: But then, over time, I add to the blank spaces in each one, and they become more detailed. This one, which is completely filled in until there is almost no space at all, is finished. I think that my doodling looks a lot like my quilting. As for my quilting, well, I am doing some of that. I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my doodling journal.
