The design exercise this month in my new art quilt group close-to-home was to do some Zentangles. Don't know what that is? Remember the doodles you used to do in the phone book while waiting for a call to connect? I always thought of them as meaningless meanderings. The Zentangle people had a different idea...doodles that could be art! In doing them, I discovered they are a great way to draw without knowing all the ins and outs of drawing...really good for beginners as you don't even realize you are drawing...just doodling around. I also know why they put the Zen in Zentangle. Hours felt like minutes, completely engrossed in the doodle. A few of mine are shown below.

These are fabulous,Connie! You'd never know these were your first tangles ... just beautiful.
