My sister told me to google zentangle, and voila……awesome. I bought a few sheets of shrink paper at a rubber stamp convention last week and I am going to try a Zentangle and shrink it. Is it still a zentangle if you color it?

Yes Sarah I did see that they patented their system…but I maintain that you don’t need the ’system’. I don’t deny that it might have some value…but 50 bucks? I don’t think so!

I love your idea of carving and backfilling the polymer tangles – please let us see when you have one finished!

Thanks to Jenn to posting the link back here to your interesting post, Susan. I hadn’t seen it before. (And I now have had a chance to spend some more time on your blog. It’s definitely going on my daily site list.)

I’ve been doing this for a while myself, but I love their organization/packaging of the Zentangle. I have done some wire and pc work in this vein, but I am thinking carving and backfilling with the Genesis oils will be the next pc journey for me and some Zentangles.

Did you know they patented their “system?” So clever!

I think we’ve all been doodling forever – sheesh, if only I had saved all of my notebooks from school! The beauty of these doodles is that they are made with intention and repetitive patterns, one section at a time, which pulls it all together for a cohesive drawing. They are addictive too – in a very meditative way.

Robin – we’d love to see your beads!!

Me too! Been making these kinds of drawings and doodles of all sorts for 30+ years, never knew we had our own fancy name for it. I used to get in trouble in school for doodling suring lectures, but it actually really helped me remember better. I have in fact transfered two of my doodles onto beads, and they are very special to me. People ask me about them whenever I wear them (they are now earrings)

Oh my… Thanks for the info on zentangles. I have also done these long ago and I just sat down with my 3 young girls and had a 3 hr. zentange session that was amazing! We talked about everything your supposed to talk about with pre-teens and more. What fun… what a great night. Thanks for your inspiration and your never ending ability to share.
It was AWESOME!

add me to the list of people who have been doing this for years & never naming it. I can appreciate the obsession.

And… I eyed those same notepads at Pearl, too, but didn’t give in. Hmmm… do I now have a reason to go back?

Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been making these kind of drawings for years … I guess I’m not alone … but I never knew they had a name and that it was a business ! Your drawing is beautiful!

what fun! Now I know the name for what I dooooo-dle *g*. I have pens, and good paper and all the stuff needed. I think prisma color transfers would rock. something to do after wrist surgery when I can’t clay Thanks for finding this gem Susan.
