Zentangle

As you know I've been trying to do more sketching in my sketchbook. But lots of times I don't feel like it...nothing looks interesting, or is too difficult, too easy, too something. Maybe I'm just lazy. Anyways, one of the blogs I check often posts pictures of Zentangles. I thought it was a made-up word at first, but it isn't. Well, it probably was at one time, but now it's really an official word, there's even a website devoted to Zentangles ( http://www.zentangle.com/ ).


So since I was going through a dry spell on sketching I decided to create a zentangle. Here's my first attempt.

The whole point of the zentangle is to NOT know what it's going to look like when you're done. I didn't so I guess I succeeded on that part. There's also not supposed to be an up or down; it can be viewed from any angle and look "right". I put a flower in before I read the rules, so I guess I messed that part up.

My husband stated "looks like you were smoking something funny." I'm not showing him any of my creative art in the future. I need support, not snarky comments.

ps. I still love him. He's kind of funny. And honest. And I'd like to state for the record that I wasn't smoking anything at all!
