I know I am behind the times, but I just recently discovered the art of the Zentangle. What is it? "creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns" This is something you can do while you sit in the dentist's waiting room or when you need an afternoon break. It is relaxing and helps you to focus and it is just plain fun to do! You can learn all about it here: zentangle.com There are lots more sites and tons of online images if you want to see some amazing art work. My example is just my first baby step. I made it into an easel card for my daughter's birthday. I wanted to give her something really original. (She thought I stamped it, go figure!) Anyway, I hope you will check out the Zentangle site and maybe give it a try.
Supplies all Stampin' Up!:
I used my black Stampin' Write marker on Whisper White card stock, then mounted it on Real Red card stock with Dimensionals and then on a Basic Black mat.

This is gorgeous! I love the colors you used and the image you created is beautiful! It looks pretty hard.
Wow, I love this, Cathy! The use of contrast and pattern is mesmerizing! You did a beautiful job! I'm going to have to check out the site. :)
I have been seeing this for a while, but I have never tried it. I am far too scared:) It looks so complicated and doodling is not my strong point. I may try it soon and see how it turns out, but I am doubting it will make my blog. Yours is AWESOME! It does look like a stamp, a very cool stamp!
Wow neat! This is a really great site! I am wondering if anyone else has come across something
like this in the past? Keep up the great work!
Very pretty! What a compliment that she thought you stamped it. I love it! One of these days I'm going to have to try this. :)
Carol, thank you so much for the zentangle suggestion! I hope to make one soon. Makes a lovely card!
