Simple Mandala
There is a great deal of beauty in simple lines.
I'm reminded of that often when I tangle.
The other day I bought new pens (I know.. shocker... lol) and they're really cool and I've been trying to figure out how I wanted to play with them.
They're pretty cool... but they effect is... distinct and I was afraid it might be too much, so I thought I'd try them on a black Zendala tile and I opted to go with a very simple repetitive line as my pattern.
Sadly, the pen effect is kind of lost on the tile... so I'll continue to try, I think a smoother paper might give me a better result. It's there, it's very subtle but you can't see it in the photograph at all.
It's ok though because I really do love the look I achieved with just lines anyway.
I have decided, for personal reasons that July is RAK month.
I encourage all of you to complete a random act of kindness as often as you can this month. :)
I believe kindness encourages creativity as well as makes the world a better place.
I hope your day is awesome!

Just a simple tile
Someone asked me yesterday to describe in one sentence, what the most important part of the Zentangle method is to me.
My answer was this...
The way each persons journey is unique to them and the way art becomes an extension of all that is amazing inside the.... no matter how different it might be, it's ok, because that's who they are!
It's really the first time I was able to put that in a way I liked it... so I wanted to share that with you.
There's a lot to Zentangle that is more than the beautiful patterns and the art and I was privileged to get to speak about this recently to a group. Not specifically JUST about Zentangle but about art as meditation and to share the concept behind it with them.
I hope they got as much out of my presentation as I did sharing it with them!
This morning I have this, which started out one way and ended up another... much like a lot of my days have been lately. Again one of the awesome things about tangling, the unexpected results!
I'd love to see some of the unexpected results you've gotten in your work!
Hope your day is great!
