Z is for Zentangle
Zentangle is an art form that uses structured patterns to create beautiful images. It's a form of doodling which is made up of simple patterns. I just discovered it recently and I really enjoy the simplicity of it. I especially like the booklet "Zentangle 8" because it was about using it for monograms and alphabets.
I thought it would be fun to make a monogram to hang on the wall. You need a wooden letter, available at craft stores and a black sharpie. I chose several zentangle patterns out of the two zentangle books I decorated the letter E for my daughter's room. It was my first attempt , but I think it came out ok.
If you do this craft, provide a link in the comments so I can come see. This would make a great Mother's Day gift.
The photos are for the same item which is a white letter with black designs. But in the one photo the light reflected so I added another photo with different exposure so you could see the design.
ohhh so that's what it is called, I am going to look up that book.
ReplyDeleteThe E looks pretty cool!
Thanks! I'm not crazy about the bottom of the E. I think I could have chosen a better design for it but I was in a hurry to finish up the Z post before midnight.
DeleteI keep seeing Zentangle stuff on Pinterest but I had no idea what it was! Your E came out great. I'd love to make one for us too, also E, since that's my fiance's last name (and mine too someday!)
