Zentangling

 What fun to try something new! I have been zentangling once a month with friends, and this month we tried doodling on fabric.  The first photo is before and the second is after, although as I look at the photos now, the first one is the other side of the bag.  Oh well, the scroll design was the same.  This is a canvas bag that Marsha of MarshNealStudio.com gave me.  Since it was natural canvas, I thought it would work well, but I was a little frustrated.  The texture was heavy enough that the ink wouldn't write a clean line and it was lighter than the printed pattern.  But after a while, I decided it was ok.  I like the bottom pattern more than the top, but it is all good.

It is always fun to learn a new skill!

I can now officially zentangle!  On Sat I took a class with Katy Abbott (great teacher!) and loved it, as I knew I would.  I love lines!  These are the first tiles from everyone in the class, and I think it is fascinating how different they are.  This is very similar to some doodling I often draw, but more organized.  I will have to restrain myself- I must make beads and jewelry for my 9 day show in early July.  Once that is over, I am looking forward to exploring this more!
