Zentangle® – January 2016

Last year at this time I was taking my first Zentangle® class. I’ve branched out in several directions from the ‘purity’ of those initial black ink, standard size efforts. Not I like to experiment with colors – inks and colored pencils. The images sometimes take on the look of something ‘real’ although in a very abstract way. I have favorite patterns that tend toward tentacles rather than squares. I take inspiration from just about everything – plants, pottery, tiles, art.  Even the size and type of paper title has varied – sometimes because I am trying to use up materials that have been around the house for ages and sometimes because the paper is just handy. The last two in the collection for this month were done in a blank book with a regular ball point pen while I was in an airport! Everyone could us a little Zen in an airport….
