What is a Zentangle? In a word, a doodle. A structured, contained doodle. I use the technique of Zentangle in my own artwork, incorporating them into sketching, art-journalling and collage. On this page, I will describe how to draw a Zentangle from scratch, what materials are required for Zentangles and also show you how to use the techniques imaginatively in your own work. Note: Zentangle-inspired drawings are often called 'zendoodles'. © This page was created by TheRaggedEdge. Zentangle® is a registered trademark of Zentangle, Inc.

Doodling « Elizabeth Rosenberg's Blog
I’ve always been a doodler. All the way back in my high school days, I used to doodle while the teacher was lecturing (though I might have been better off if I’d taken notes instead). I’d fill page after page of my notebooks with doodles. Most of them featured spirals, which I loved even back then. I’ve always found that my creativity is greatly influenced by music, and I try to make that work for me in my studio as often as possible by listening to music that makes me feel good. I thought it might be fun to share some of the doodles I’ve been creating lately. All of my doodles start out simple, like this one: But then, over time, I add to the blank spaces in each one, and they become more detailed. This one, which is completely filled in until there is almost no space at all, is finished. I think that my doodling looks a lot like my quilting. As for my quilting, well, I am doing some of that. I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my doodling journal.

Because I got many requests, I will also write in Dutch from now! Lines, dots, circles, arcs, the S-shape, and arising therefrom ovals, triangles, squares and rectangles, scrolls and spirals, waves and zigzags....With these basic elements we build up the tangle patterns, they form the basics of Zentangle®! Quite soon after I had read the directions in the Diva's Weekly Challenge #123 I knew I wanted to create "something" with those. What a nice challenge!!But not before yesterday evening because my week was filled with fun outings. Omdat ik veel verzoekjes kreeg, zal ik vanaf nu ook in het Nederlands schrijven! Lijnen, stippen, rondjes, bogen, de S-vorm, en daaruit voortvloeiend ovalen, driehoeken, vierkanten en rechthoeken, krullen en spiralen, golf- en zigzaglijnen....Met deze basiselementen bouwen we de tanglepatronen op, ze vormen de basis van Zentangle®! Wednesday was for household chores (pffft) and the half-yearly dentist visit (everything okay, yeah!). Thanks to: Met dank aan:

Studio ML: ZIA bal
Dit was een leuk ding om te maken zeg. Veel werk, maar met een leuk resultaat. Allereerst heb ik 3 stroken getekend, en ze vervolgens van elkaar los gesneden.Daarna in elkaar zetten en voila daar is de bal. This was a fun thing to make.A lot of work, but with a nice result I think.First I drew three strips and cut them out.Than I put them together and make it a bal.And now my husband and I are going on a vacation for 2 weeks to Auvergne in France.I hope to come back with a lot of energy and inspiration.
