I discovered Zentangles in 2009. I played around with it for a while, but it did not speak to me as it has done others. Lately, there has been a lot of talk about Zentangles especially in my pottery class. Postmark'd Art had it as a theme in the last round. I made a skull. heARTIST Trading Cards has selected the theme for May. I was too tired to do much on Saturday night so I decided to play around with making Zentangle ATCs. At first, it was tough because usually one works in a 3-inch square and Zentangles usually do not include color. The pieces just seemed to be screaming "color" to me and I like them so much better with color. It was definitely fun to revisit this wonderful way to doodle. Not sure if I will make more cards or simply use these. Guess I'll decide closer to the trade. I will say it made me feel productive and creative during a low energy period. It most certainly helped me recharge. Now I can't wait for May to come around and see what everyone else in the group creates.
Oh, keep them, and mail me one! They look great with the color. No rules in heARTist trades :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is just one of the many reasons I love our group! Which one do you fancy? Hugs, Karen
DeleteSo cool!! I love that you added color to your Zentangles, I've never tried that.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like them. I don't know if I could ever do it again without color. Hugs, Karen
DeleteI am on a zentangle kick too. Not started yet but finally found the 01 micron pen today. I love the color you added to your cards. I'm still in the practice mode!
