Zentangle and Doodle art
View allAll Photos Tagged zentangle
My newest hobby is Zentangle, the art of creative doodling.
It is one of my favorite hobbies, only second to my first love, photography. Usually, I use black ink pens to doodle patterns on white paper, but this evening I did just the opposite. I used three white gelly roll pens and one white graphite pencil to create this zentangle creation.
"Zentangles" are a combination of meditation and art, invented by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Although similar to doodling, zentangles represent mindful creation of patterns, as opposed to the mindlessness of doodling. The pen is a Micron 0.1 - perfect for an art form that is supposed to be no more than 3.5 inches wide.

Left page has some craft ideas (see notes for links to the finished projects) and right side was inspired by reading Sandy Bartholomew's Zentangle article in Cloth Paper Scissors magazine.

I have been traveling a bit and didn't take my art supplies with me so when I got home and got settled, I had to start drawing. I saw a similar type picture on Facebook and decided to do it. It's completely free-form. I picked it up and drew whatever came into my brain. As you can see, my brain is pretty cluttered.

Finally getting to the point of doing examples of what some of my pieces can look like when colored in with colored pencils for my coloring packets ... have been working on this project on & off along with my cards for quite awhile now ... hoping that they will do well in my Esty shop when I finally get it up & running in a few weeks ... sending out my 1st packets to my grandkids this week! :) ... Still so much work to do but keeping busy is a good thing for me :) ... Hope you all have a great day, with at least one person saying I love you ... so I'll close by saying ... Love you guys! :)

Zentangle, my first go. I sat and doodled from my head, and a couple of hours later got this :D I actually found it a fantastic way to deal with pain, which was very bad that day.
My FB friends Techla and Darcy got me into this, after me seeing lots of lampworkers doing them and asking "okay what the hell is this zentangling?". I think I could get addicted. I was a doodler anyway and this gives me an excuse :D
Some fun I hatched for Sliders Sunday. ;o))
