Inspiration to use in your own creative work....
Zentangles!
"Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity." (Here's a link to the website.)
Ok... what's not to like!?! I heard about Zentangles on Facebook from Lois Primeau and Kim Santini
So, to start out... you draw, in pencil, a "string". This will be the bones of your design. (They suggest a 3.5 inch square size paper.)
Then you take any old pen and start patterning within the "string." No thought required. No mistakes possible. That's the "zen" part. :)

Ok... can you spot which "strings" I started with?
(upper left and lower right) I used a fine point "sharpie" marker. Next time I'm going to try using a ball point pen.
I think I'm going to keep a few of these "strings" in my purse... They would be great to doodle on when I have a few minutes with nothing to do.
If you have a minute... here's a link to all sorts of finished zentangles. That should wet your appetite! |
