In a word, a doodle. A structured, contained doodle. The term 'Zentangle' was coined by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas when, one day, Maria described her experience, as she created her art, as "feeling timeless, free and engendering a sense of deep well-being". Rick recognised that she was in a meditative state and so Zentangles were born. 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.

Here is what Zentangle founders Rick Roberts and and Maria Thomas have to say about the Kit: “When we designed our Zentangle Kit, a main guideline was to use quality materials. In my opinion, the most valuable item is the Tutorial on DVD – this alone is worth the cost of the Kit. The kit’s DVD is almost 29 minutes long and is without audio except for Rick’s soothing flute music as background to Maria’s drawing. A new and improved box Place your order now
Zentangle Bubbles Historically, New Years is a time for making resolutions. A time for looking at what happened in the previous year and thinking about all the things we will change to make the coming year a better one. I hadn't actually thought much about resolutions this year and wasn't really planning on making any but then I read this post by Jenn at Girl Defying Gravity. This year Jenn has decided to make anti-resolutions. And then it hit me. Now I'm no fool. While I was pondering this concept, I started to think about the Zendala Dare and how this "let's subtract rather than add" strategy might apply. Zendala Dare #39 - ZenDon't This week when you find yourself doing something you would normally do with your Zendala, don't do it. This week: If you normally use black and white. The template I have made for this week is also special. Here's the template: For my ZenDon't I tried to let go of many of the things that sometimes stall my creativity. I have a tendency to follow the template very closely. Erin
