Zentangles

Yesterday there was another Dare to Dabble craft session, this time for zentangles.

A zentangle is a form of mindfulness, in which you begin to draw and by concentrating on what you're drawing, you see where it takes you.  All that's required is a pen (such as a fine nibbed marker pen) and something to draw on.  The usual way to begin is by trying out different patterns, so we began with a thick card coaster divided it into nine small squares and did a different little pattern in each square.



On the reverse I decided to be different, divide the coaster into four and do mini patterns based on nature:



Then I drew and decorated an owl (because I like owls):



And lastly I tried a leaf, once again taking more ideas from nature:

The zentangles are nice, and different and your drawing is really good. I'd struggle to get everything uniform but you manage very well.

Thank you. The thing about zentangles is that any wobbles can be incorporated into the design.
