MMSA zentangles

An upcoming swap at MMSA is zentangles, on a postcard, an ATC, or a traditional zentangle tile of 3.5" square. I chose to use tiles for this one and made three that went off in the mail to Karen this morning.

Karen comments in a recent blog post that they are 'meditative'. I don't find them the least bit so, instead I end up with a cramped hand and a crick in my neck from hunching over the paper to make sure my lines go where I want them to. They're torture. Definitely not my cup of tea, art-wise. So I'm glad they're done and gone!

  1. But they are very lovely! They show a lot of movement and variety and I am drawn in to want to see them more close up. You did a great job on them Leslie!

  2. Leslie I applaud you getting these done - I dipped my toe into Zentangle land last year and agree with you - not my cup of tea either!

  3. that made me laugh - I suppose I can see how they could be the opposite of meditative.
    They are quite lovely, and now you can say you've done it!

  5. Ha! :) Isn't it great that we're all different? I definitely enjoy tangling away an evening in front of the TV. When I first found it, I did a LOT, then not so much and now I find myself returning to it a bit because it's perfect for me and TV.
