Zentangle Challenge Friday

with pen

In a prior post, Zentangle Challenge, I ask anyone who wanted to play, to create a Zentangle and post on Friday...

After watching this Cindy Angiel YouTube video of BASIC Advanced BEGINNER instructions, I found I have NO gift for Zentangle on paper as seen above and below.

with pencil and sharpies

MadSnapper Muttering at the kitchen table: "  "This is just to HARD.".. "my head is hurting and I am so stressed my shoulders are aching". 

Bob, sitting at the counter with his snack, said

"Well, why don't you just quit?"

"I can't, I challenged the bloggers, I have to create Something"

 I GAVE UP paper and pen... and went to PicMonkey.... ...and found my Zen was there...

It is not to late to play... post it today or any day.

My friend Carole emailed she had signed up for Zentangle Class.. Say What?

Here are two links to videos that will show you what Zentangle is.. I watched the video's and want to learn the Aura tangle, this is one I created in my head.

 I found the outlines in The Color Book on line.. you can use a color book if you have one. Or draw it yourself. Zen can be used on anything, not just flowers.

watch these videos if you want to learn.. Zentangle helps exercise the brain and helps to meditate and ease stress..
