Musings of a bored girl

A Zentangle is an abstract drawing created by using repetitive patterns. This method was invented by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.The invention of Zentangle was intended to make the art of drawing pleasurable, meditative and accessible to all. It's creation is unplanned. When you begin creating a Zentangle, we don't necessarily have a end goal in mind, the pattern reveals itself as we draw. Zentangles are not like doodle.

Unlike doodling, Zentangles needs focus and undivided attention.  This is a relatively new art form and it is based on human behaviour in which one refrains from planning and allows lines and shapes to unintentionally emerge. I tried my hand on making some Zentangles of my own. Here are some. Hope you like them and share your inputs.

It is quite easy to do and fun. I...
