An artsy friend introduced me to this creative pastime about a year ago, and I thought "that's cool" and left it at that. But, in my ongoing quest to keep busy while I bounce between MVY and MSP, I decided to give it a go, and it is addicting. Often considered yoga for the mind, Zentangle takes practice, patience, and skill. It is purported to calm the mind, reduce stress and improve focus. I don't know about that, but I do find it relaxing, rewarding AND less expensive than some of my other favorite hobbies i.e., golf, pilates, needlepoint and can be done anywhere. So, have pen and paper will travel, you never know when you might be the recipient of a Zentangle design by The Spicer! Here are a few samples....
