Zen tangle..

Week 2 .. Beat that boredom!

To beat the boredom and  add some funk to the  mundane is... to Zen tangle.

If you're wondering what on earth is a Zen tangle, do not worry because it's nothing but 'yoga for the mind' !

I've been a compulsive doodler all my life drawing on paper, jeans and my arms and legs too...I was always fascinated by Mehendi (henna tattoos) too but didn't like the way it gets patchy after a few days and so would do it with a pen and wash it off or just create Mehendi like designs on paper.....

I recently learned that doodling just went the zen way! it's called Zen tangle ..the zen way of creating tangles to relax, create or even develop certain intelligent skills! And here I was oblivious that I was Zentangling all my life!

I'm going to show you how to create a Zen tangle step by step. All you need is paper, pencil and a black ink pen...and lots of creativity....

First you draw an outline (I drew a box) but you can draw a circle, heart any random shape or just make up shapes as you go along.















Then you fill the spaces with a repetitive design like waves, circles, dots or checks...

Fill up the box and then add a border and sign it! Your Zentangle is ready! However, if you begin to feel bored its better to put it away and come back later and draw, because the designs might get sloppy and untidy....so go ahead and Zentangle.....
