Heres some photos taken from my sketch book of some Zentangle style doodles I did – Zendoodling is addictive once you start! Be warned! All you need is some white paper and a good drawing pen; just sit, empty your mind and doodle away!

Trish, I love your Zendoodling, and I love that term! The way you’ve photographed them and laid them out makes me think of a quilt – what are you planning to do with them? Think I’d be tempted to make a ‘poster’ out of them, they’re so impressive together like that (although you’d have to turn ‘art’ the other way round!! LOL)

The last time you posted this style of doodling I didn’t even try to do it. I bought some Manga pens for the variety of size and shades of black so this time I’ll try. I’ll have to break through the barriers of the Inner Critic though. Last week I ran across a definition of the Inner Critic – it’s called insecurity.

I’ve been looking online for information on how to start one of these zentangles — I see a little information here and a little information there. There’s something about laying strings that is how you apparently begin — can you explain how to lay the first string? I’d love to try this, but don’t have $50 to spend on a kit that sounds like it contains mostly materials I already have (high quality paper and pens). Thanks in advance.

The string basics can be better understood by looking at this blog post on Crazy Art Girls blog: http://alteredbelly.blogspot.com/2007/10/newbie-zentangle.html Basically you start off with an outline like that, and then start filling in the areas with doodles and scribbles and take it from there. Theres no right or wrong way to do these. This video may be of help too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4Nlz4XMxcs

What Trish Means |
 You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. |

This looks like the kind of art I can get into when I’m sitting and waiting places! *smiles* Looks like you’ve been busy with getting your doodle on *hee hee*
