Description:
Intimidated by the word...Zentangle? Never fear! This is your chance to try it out! Zentangle should be fun! So there is no need to stress over this little creation. Have fun and doodle a little piece of art! (See links below for more information) You will create one Zentangle ATC for one partner. This should be a standard ATC card, 2.5 x 3.5 in. Your artwork should cover the majority of the card. You are welcome to add color, but it is not required. You may add a small image within your Zentangle, but the Zentangle should dominate the card. Those with more experience are welcome to join, just realize that this is for beginners ;) If you have any questions, just ask! I'm new to this too and we will try it out together!

Also trying out zentangle for the first time! I made a couple last night, it's addicting already. Can't wait!

I'm not a zentangle newbie but I love to tangle. I am truly addicted, I have a pad & 3 Microns with me at all times. For the newbies: do not be intimidated by this art form. Just draw a few lines and fill them in with whatever you think will look good in that space. Tangling is very addictive and there really is no "wrong" way to do it. Good Luck!

@adefalco thanks for the encouraging words!

Several people have asked for a follow-up, so there will be another swap posted for next month, stay tuned...;)

I sent mine off thismorning. I hope Corinne likes it. I love doodling but not sure if mine is exactly the "Zen" style..

snout 11/29/2011 #

@Scrappinlizzi Haha...I think if you felt good while making it that counts ;) But then again, I'm new to all of this as well, so I could be wrong!

Happy doodling to you :)
