Here I am trying to explain what a Zentangle is. A traditional Zentangle is done on a 3.5" x 3.5" tile. You can learn more about Zentangles at the website of founders Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts by clicking here. Once there, you can sign up for a free, monthly newsletter. Most issues of the newsletter feature a new "tangle" to learn. You can find all the old tangles in the newsletter archives.
This is our guild's secretary, Karen Paradiso, working on her Zentangle. I seem to only be allowed 5 photos per post. If you would like to see more, including the Zentangley Christmas card I made for 2008, please visit my Zentangle album over at Flickr here. My thanks to the wonderful Wendy Dougherty for sharing her photos with me! You can also check out the very, talented Erica McPhee's blog to see what she learned at a "Zenspiration" workshop with Joanne Fink here.
I've really got to watch my Zentangle dvd. Your work is so amazing and inspiring. Now, all I have to do is find the time. Fabulous job, Jane!
