I have discovered a new love, Zentangles! Zentangle is a form of doodling that is both relaxing and fun. Basically, you draw lines with pencil that look like strings on a paper to create a guideline for your zentangle. Next you use a black pen (I love the Pitt markers) and draw a tangle pattern into each section.
Here is a page from my journal that I filled with a zentangle design:
There are tons of zentangle ideas all around you, just look for patterns in everyday items. You can see the section below is from a calender.
I used my zentangle designs and a photo transfer process to create new jewelry pieces for the spring.
For more information on zentangles, check out the website.

Stay tuned for more zentangle designs!

Thanks so much Jelveh! It's very addicting.
Stacie - these designs are wonderful! The B&W designs are beautiful on silver. I've been doodling with Zentangles on paper, and want to transfer them to fabric. Maybe today is the day! :-)
Hi Sharon, Thanks so much. I'd love to see your designs transferred to fabric. Do you have a blog?
