Have You Tried Zentangles?

Posted on Jun 13, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | Comments Off on Have You Tried Zentangles?

While I was at the Craft and Hobby Association Supershow few months ago at the Anaheim Convention Center, I came across Suzanne McNeill, she is a certified zentangle teacher and she is the author of Zentangle Basics.  For those of us who has not tried drawing or is scared to try, this is the perfect baby steps we need to take.  I’m glad I stopped by their booth.

In simple words: It’s turning doodles into art designs. The tools you need: paper, pencil and fine tip marker.

These are some of the amazing work found at the zentangle booth.
