Zentangles

In the last few weeks, it seems there has been a renewed interest in Zentangles. I wrote about this art form in the June 2008 issue of Crafts 'n Things. With limited supplies, Zentangles provide an easy way for busy people to find time to be creative.
One of the hardest things can be getting started. Belinda Spiwak has a nice tutorial on her blog, and this video of a Mandela Zentangle will definitely make you want to give this a try.
Now for a few Zentangles of my own. Although there appears to be variation in their color, these were all done on the same basic white paper. The sunlight was definitely playing tricks on me today when I was trying to take pictures.

Now that you've seen how easy this is, grab that paper and pen that you already have on hand and make some marks!
