Something old/Something new

I have discovered a new way of doing something old....doodling the zentangle way.
For years I have doodled... on backs of envelopes...grocery lists...meeting agendas ...sketchbooks...etc.  My doodles were not meant to be art.  They were just a way of  making  marks.  
 
Then I discovered Zentangles.   They are patterns that are tangled into a design.  There are hundreds of tangles out there to do...some are simple and others more complex.  
 
You can even move from tangling a simple square to creating a zentangle inspired art piece.   What is wonderful about them is there is really no right or wrong way of creating these works.
They are designed for you to relax and just focus on making one line at a time.
 
You just need a white piece of paper, a black micron pen or one that is similar and a pencil for shading.   
You can read all about them at  Zentangle.com
   
 What a great way to jump start a creative block and have some fun as well.
 
Take warning though they are addicting.  
 
 
 
Hope you have a beautiful Sunday - God Bless! 

October Day
