On second thought, the zen quality of this activity might free your mind to work out the kinks in plot points.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-57305128884256418142011-12-06T21:44:19.437-06:002011-12-06T21:44:19.437-06:00Your first efforts are wonderful -- I've been ...Your first efforts are wonderful -- I've been wanting to try this.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-78230309447978235432011-12-06T10:27:10.929-06:002011-12-06T10:27:10.929-06:00Marion, I'm glad you're going to try this....Marion, I'm glad you're going to try this. I know from seeing the face sketches you posted the other day that you have some natural artistic talent, so Zentangling should be easy for you. It is meditative--and also hard to put down once you get in that "zone."Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-82453607879691915692011-12-06T08:06:07.933-06:002011-12-06T08:06:07.933-06:00I really like these.

I think yours look good, and I like the idea of putting them all together...there's no stopping once you start, I imagine. At least, that's the way it would be with me!<br /><br />It sounds really meditative...I like Janet's idea of your last one having a code. The first two look like birds to me..xxMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-45397275353045728862011-12-05T10:40:51.499-06:002011-12-05T10:40:51.499-06:00Janet, the actual drawings are small, under four i...Janet, the actual drawings are small, under four inches on each side. I'm sure there are people with better eyesight and steadier hands than mine whose enlargements would look just fine. I think my overall designs will get better with practice, but my individual strokes and dark fill-ins probably won't. <br /><br />Fortunately, I've had enough life experience that my world no longer falls apart when I make mistakes. Boy, did <i>that</i> take a long time to learn.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-45510229763912215522011-12-05T10:18:41.315-06:002011-12-05T10:18:41.315-06:00Interesting-I see what you mean about the overall ...Interesting-I see what you mean about the overall pattern, not the individual lines-when I clicked to enlarge, they didn't look as good when I could see the individual lines. <br /><br />I like how you incorporated things you could see from your seat into your design. It's kind of like a code!<br /><br />I'll give it a try when I get some quiet time, which might not be for a while. :-pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
