Weekend ZIA

My Weekend Zentangle Fun....

Pardon the poor image quality. Used my phone to click it.

Hearts.....:)

The week didnt begin really well for me. Work wise its been pretty hectic and kinda crazy here. And personally it hasnt really been very good either. But the one thing thats kept me a bit sane has been my art and the one friend whom Ive come to rely on so much.

So this is for my love of art and for that one friend....:)

Cheers....

Tangles Every day....:)

Yeah, thats what I am trying to achieve, a tangle a day! Though I have to admit with the work load I am finding it rather difficult. So Ive settled to doing as often as I can. But not too far apart either...:) So here are 2 that I did in the last few days. Am doing one now and will be posting the Diva's Challenge & the Zendala Dare tomorrow.....:) Until then.......

Cheers.... :-)

A Gift...

Ever since Ive been introduced to this wonderful world of Zentangles Ive googled and come across so many people across the globe who are as hooked onto it as me...:)

Many have inspired me to do more. I am such an amateur compared to all of them....Pinterest also came back with a lot of hits and I am amazed at the talent out there...:)

Last week my boss saw one of my pieces and gifted me a Moleskin...:) And here is my first piece on it...:) I will in time revamp my blog to include all those blogs of fellow Zentanglers who so inspire me...!



Batman......

Morning Cheer....

This weekend was way better than the rest. Met up two of my good friends and spent a couple of hours unwinding over hot tea and even hotter gossip ...:)

This morning when I woke up all I could see around me were different patterns reminding me of Zentangling...(yeah yeah it can be really addictive!)....

So here is todays ZEN Morning.....:)

Lazy Day..

Ok so am now HOOKED to tangling!...:)

So before we wmbark on our journey, what exactly IS Zentangling??? Art using patterns has been around from time immemorial and we may not be aware but many of us doodle while we are distracted. Those little strokes that your pen makes while you are on the phone or just idly gazing out - those are doodles and giving them a structure is tangling or Zentangling.

Maria and Rick have perfected this form of art and have given us what we know today as ZENTANGLES. You can read and learn more about it on their web site.

How did I get hooked? Good question! Well I did say in my very first post that I took up art once again with Patric Rozario. I decided to first do his 12 module course. Im still very much a beginner and have completed only a few modules. I still have a long way to go!...:)

He never used the term Zentangle while teaching me. In fact all he said was use random patterns and doodle. Draw a field and fill it. I began my 'doodling' and just hated every piece I did...it just didnt look right to me. Patric then left on his summer holiday and I being a curious one decided to learn more about this art form called doodling and tangling. Surfing the world wide web I chanced upon Rick & Maria's site. And Lo Behold! I finally had it!

Patric always says that anyone can become an artist. It just needs practice. Hours and hours of practice. And so began my journey into this beautiful world. Im posting a piece that I did while everyone at work was away at meetings and I had a lot of time to kill.

When Patric came back from holiday and asked me what I did when he was away I was brimming with information...I told him all about Zentangles and went on and on and finally he laughed and said he never told me about it when we started as he wanted me to find out all about it on my own....!...I must say it has been such a wonderful journey! I am so hooked onto Zentangles!

I will ofcourse be posting more pictures of my art work as I progress. Ive done some charcoal work and fabric painting and some on pottery. I did Zendalas on my pot...:)))))

I hope you all will like this. Im not exactly a professional and no where near to the expertise of Rick or Maria or the many other people who are such experts at Zentangling...:)

Cheers
