Anyone doing Zendoodles?
I went to a quilt shop today and there was a class but no sewing. They were doing zendoodles. I was very curious of course. I was fascinated with the designs everyone was doing. It is a form of doodling that makes great designs. All you need is drawing pad, they told me mole skin was the best sketch book, and good quality pens in different line widths. It relives stress and you have a notebook of sketches. No drawing skills needed at all. Just what I need a new fun thing to do.

This is an excellent site to see tangle patterns and to learn how to draw them. I've been drawing for a few months now and it's very relaxing but also addictive.

I'm taking two Zentangle classes at MQX this coming April with Pat Ferguson. I have bought some books and started doing the drawn tangles, and Mrs. B is correct, it is totally addictive. I've always been a doodle-er so this is a reallly great thing to me. I have yet to try quilting the tangles but that's what I'm going to the class to learn.
It is a very, very relaxing art form also. I'm taking care of my Mom who has advanced cancer, and I find myself sitting down to tangle every night so that I can relax before going to bed. It really does help. It keeps your mind occupied but yet your mind is not racing.... very strange but it's true.
