I...Jan, thanks for your awesome comment on my blog! I'm so glad you like my Zentangles! I did think I might print them off and use them for cards - I shall do some more as time goes on. Then pens I use are a mixture of different makes - they are all permanent black fibre-tip pens of varying thickness - I used a fine one for the patterns and some outlines, and a thicker one for the outlines I wanted more prominent, and for filling in. You will notice on the round one that the filling in ins't completely solid - just scribbled in - but that is sufficient (saving ink!). As for the shading, this was done with an ordinary black crayon. This is something I learnt on Youtube, and I think it gives real dimension to the designs. Regarding the lettering, I've always enjoyed messing about with letters and words, and fitting them into shapes etc. Another form of doodling I suppose!<br /><br />I'm definitely going to do more of this - what potential for expressing one's creativity! Filling basic shapes like butterflies, flowers, letters... the possibilities are endless. Thanks for getting me started! Your tree is soooo gorgeous...<br /><br />Hugs,<br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-53839672803399064142012-03-24T02:39:26.916+00:002012-03-24T02:39:26.916+00:00Hi Jan, me yet again...

I've been inspired by your Zentangle tree to have a go myself, and after watching some Youtube videos, I've made my first attempts! They are on my blog if you want to hop over and have a look.<br /><br />I think you might have started something... This is HIGHLY addictive!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-76838554311189659862012-03-23T17:29:06.769+00:002012-03-23T17:29:06.769+00:00Thanks for your lovely response to my comment, Jan...Thanks for your lovely response to my comment, Jan. I must look out for Edward Rutherford's other books - I didn't know he'd written any more! I also very much enjoy those by James Mitchener, too. I love taking books like that on holiday because you know they'll keep you going for ages and you can get really stuck in!<br /><br />My hubby always laughs at the things I photograph - window catches, paving stones, bits of old rope etc., and most of all, anything rusty and decayed! I don't get out very often but so enjoy snapping away with my camera whenever I can! I think it's taught me to be more observant, too.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930416465746558041.post-38949570036416769602012-03-23T14:28:35.427+00:002012-03-23T14:28:35.427+00:00A really great post and so good to see your zentan...A really great post and so good to see your zentangles!

Great patriotic fabric there in time for the Jubilee lol!!<br /><br />Lacock... brings back lots of lovely memories of my visit there with my mum donkey's years ago - it was there that I first joined the National Trust and we are still members, all these years on. I love photographing things like you did - bosses, interesting timbers etc. There is so much fascinating detail all around us, if we only take the trouble to look, and so many people just walk by, and never look up, or down!<br /><br />Have you read "Sarum" by Edward Rutherford? A wonderful historical novel all about Salisbury from the end of the ice age to the present. I went to school in Salisbury and love Wiltshire!<br /><br />Your tree drawing is just gorgeous... Yes, there's been quite a bit of this style of drawing around lately, making me think that maybe I should give it a try! It's so decorative and striking.<br /><br />Thanks again for a lovely post!
