Zentangle Journey Day 13 - bird of paradise

Something simple but intricate, today.

Zentangles Day 12

I missed posting yesterday, but I did do a simple zentangle just before going to sleep last night.  Had a great day at my pen and ink class.  The oil paint is wet so it is put way up out of reach of little hands.  My grandson spent 2 days with us last week and might be coming for a whole week.  Need to childproof.

Zentangle Journey Day 11

I decided today's drawing should be a little more fluid. was thinking about spring due to the cold, and drew this unplanned plant.

Zentangle journey Day 10 - repetition

I was not quite happy with this zentangle. I put it into paint shop and did some patterns, and kaleidoscopes.




Zentangles day 9 - Grandma's Flower Garden

Day 9 of my zentangle journey.  I used the hexagon shape from "Grandma's Flower Garden" for this tangle.  I didn't have quite enough room on my 6x9 bound journal page. Each hexagon is approximately 5/8"

Day 8 -Zentangle Journey

Today is my 8th day for exploring Zentangles. I think this Mandela tangle is better than the first one.  It has some shading that gives it dimension, but other parts are still too flat.
I think tomorrow I will use some quilt squares for the base.

Zentangle Tile

A Zentangle tile is 3 1/2 inches square (which, with respect to Fibonacci proportions, is equivalent to 89 millimeters).
Here is a zentangle tile and a foot print with zentangle doodling.

Zentangles -starting my adventure with zentangles

I am starting on a new journey ..... zentangles.  I have always loved pen and ink drawings, but now I have a fun way to doodle and improve skills daily without cleaning my rapidiograph pens.  Just a small notebook, a sharpie and a pencil  Here are a few of my first ever zentangles.
