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.



I is for Interesting

  Here are some things I find interesting.  I love this zentangle elephant.  I thinks he is gorgeous.

.These steampunk earrings are fun and fascinating.



                                                                                               

  I bought the pattern for this peacock pin.  It's really interesting the way it's made.  tho it will probably be a long time before I try it.
