It used to be called "doodling" when I first started it. Tons of people do it in thread. There were some lovely ones posted on this board a while back. I think the member came from Hungary.

I really like the individual approach you have taken to this concept.

I call it doodling. I've done it all my life, never really thought of it as art. Next time I will do it a nice piece pf paper.

I used to love to Doodle. I am headed off to Zentangle to check it out. However, my doodling never looked like yours looks. Gorgeous.

I love tangling! Took two classes with Pat Ferguson at this year's MQX, one for drawing and another for sewing. Awesome classes, great teacher. Love my new hobby. I think I have every Zentangle book around, plus a whole box full of supplies. drgranny, your doll is awesome!

Is there a particular book that you use or would recommend for a new Zen? In looking at their website it would seem the pens are common to most stores.....but water paper do you use? Sorry for so many questions.

I also have been Zentangling for about a year. Even sent my oldest DGS( at college )a set-up of all he needs to Tangle too. Told him I was tired of hearing he is bored ! Told him to think of his DGirlfriend and he should come up with beautiful ones to send her. I 'm just about brave enough to try it with fabric and machine.

I took a class in this at Houston Festival and fell in love with them. Thank you for the site. I just enrolled in it and contributed so I can get the books!

I started doing it in the beginning of summer on bigger flat rocks which I sprayed with a sealer and put outside in my cactus rock garden. They look so neat and unique. Love it.
