Zentangles with the UCA

Today I had the pleasure of participating in the Utah Calligraphic Artists' all-day workshop on Zentangles, taught by Certified Zentangle Teacher, Marie English.


I spent the entire day on just one 3"x 3" project.  Here it is:



Zentangle

CAVEAT: If you are not familiar with Zentangles, this is not a good example of one!  For the following reasons:



  1. It uses color.

  2. It does not use ANY known Zentangle pattern (called "tangles").

  3. It has an orientation (that is, there is a "right-side up" to it.


But for those of you familiar with Zen, this is what my Buddha-nature wanted to draw today.  What can you say to that?


I cannot close without a link to my favorite Zentangle artist, skinnystraycat.  Here is a sample of her work:
