I've discovered that the many hours I spent in lectures or meetings perfecting my idiosyncratic doodles were not wasted.
There is a newish art form called Zentangles which is a combination of the meditative state of Zen and the Tangles that evolve from allowing your pen to make repetitive marks on the paper.
Who knew that what I started doing 40 years ago would surface as a valid art form today.
The 4x6 group (Artist's Post Cards) that I belong to is doing a Zentangles swap and I churned out 3 to send off. Here they are!!
I stepped outside my boundaries a little here by adding to the original format:
- different marks such as hearts squares, dots and fern frondy thingies
- other weights of line using chisel pointed markers
- - colour
I hope my "doodles" are enjoyed
(Shame I wasn't smart enough to commercialize the idea and make squillions of dollars selling "How to" kits)
