Do you Zentangle?

Created to delight the heart of someone who always wanted to draw. This is mindful, sort of directed doodling. It's so much fun. And I actually made one I like during my first explore.

First, creating a signature:

Start learning patterns:

And the one I like is the second one I made:

I'm not using the best pens and pencils that I actually already own. (Micro-Line or Microns are recommended as well as a graphic sketching pencils for shading.)

I'm not even using the recommended paper.

Tomorrow I'll get out my Micro-Line pens and my Derwent pencils. Tonight I'm playing like a kid...and loving every minute.

I hope you're having fun, too.

It's a two crane day.

I do love my new journal. The cranes are glued down so that I can open them up and have a 3-D journal. Too fun.

I didn't realize just how messy my handwriting has become since I type almost everything!

Sorry to bury you in posts.

I've been posting and the Internet hasn't been working.

I'm sorry if you get buried in posts.

The cable company is going to have to rewire our building so our Internet will work. In the meantime, I have to go to the library to get online. It's kind of a pain in the neck, but I'm just grateful that the library is so close to me and that it offers free Internet access.

With hope, my posts will be a bit more regular as I get in the habit of going to the library more often. The great thing about the situation is that I remember again just how much I love the library.

I'm starting a new vice today. I'll post about it when I can.

Hugs.
