I have been gone from this blog for a while because my family moved across country, from Raleigh, NC to Houston, TX. With all the packing and moving and being in temporary corporate housing, I didn’t have much time to do any art at all. However, a few days ago, I finally sat down and worked on a Zendala.
Zendalas are very different from traditional Zentangles in that they require a little planning and thought. The first one I did just looks like a non-cohesive mess of tangles, since I did it in the traditional way of just picking a pettern and seeing what emerges.
The meditative aspects of Zentangle still can be achieved with Zendalas – just pick your patterns in advance. And above all, relax. They are a lot of fun.
I kept mine simple with just a few tangles, and I am pretty proud of the way it came out.
