In love with Zentangle

I discovered Zentangle on the Wellness day at my company. A colleague did a small workshop. We had pen, paper, some squares and a fox to fill with patterns. It clicked.

It was around May 21st, only a few days before my birthday. Possibly one of the best presents you can get, a new love!

It is less than two months I got in touch with this world, but I draw regularly. I have a sketch book at home, a sketch book in my backpack, and I also love to draw on tea bags, that have a nice, small size that you can fill in no time.

I very often fall in love with a specific variation for every tangle pattern, I do not sign or write the date but sometimes I can desume it, especially if I took photos to send them to my mother. I have started at a certain point to have a side notebook where I list all the patterns, since finding them without a name can be quite a challenge.

I have a box where I write the patterns I would like to do but do not fit what I am drawing at the moment or my current mood, but still I find them interesting.

TanglePatterns is a big resource there. But I have to admit, I started straight from Youtube to get more step-by-step assistance.

I am using Microsoft Lens to adjust the pics taken with my phone.

I am trying to upload slowly my zentangles. I will add the new ones and some old ones regularly.
