Zentagling in my view is a just a fancy name for doodling which I've loved doing as far back as I can remember.
Doodling or Zentangling is quite therapeutic. Probably because it keeps you focussed on the "pattern" you are creating.
I'm sure there is a science behind this art and can be learned, but my zentangles are just random and follow no techniques. But I do need a better pen.
This weekend I picked up my pen again and startd on a new drawing. I hope to keep this up through September (practicing) as this year I would like to take part in Inktober which is a daily art challenge held in October.
So grab a cuppa and join me in my zentangling journey.
Have you tried zentangling? What do you think about it and which one did you like the best? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
btw this is my 700th post!

I've heard of this - will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen. It is fun to do.
DeleteI love watching others zentangle on IG, it's so soothing. I'm not super into it myself - I do like to do random doodles sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky. I enjoy watching others too - something very relaxing about someone zentangling.
DeleteHi Suzy, I don't like 'doodling' as a word...crazy teacher mind for little boys' appendages and zentangle seems to belong to a US group...so I tend to use my term of 'designing patterns' and 'making mandalas'. Am thrilled that the local library is going ahead with my proposal for an adult mindful colouring and mandalas class in October.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up for #lifethisweek. Next week's optional prompt for 36/52 is Taking Stock. Denyse
Thanks Denyse. Yay for your proposal. That will be great fun.
DeleteI used to read a blog devoted to Zentangle. It does sound relaxing but I have not attempted to take a class. I note art supplies are needed; doodling can be done anywhere you have paper and pen.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alana. I haven't taken any classes - that would spoil the spontaneity of zentangling. But I do need a good pen!
DeleteOh, I absolutely love doodling and well, Zentangling too, if that's what some people call it! It feels so therapeutic and is such a wonderful stress-buster. Have put up a few pictures of them on my Insta feed, so it is something that I intend to take up on a regular basis in the coming months. Loved all your doodles, Suzy, even the WIP ones! Its a great hobby and an amazing way to nurture the creativity you've been blessed with. Have fun doodling and do keep sharing them, Suzy. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Esha I've seen yours on IG and they are beautiful.
DeleteIt's nice to hear your voice Suzy. Love the artwork you shared. Zentabangling is an awesome hobby... Keeps you engaged, entertained and in the end you create something brand new ��
ReplyDeleteThanks Raj. It truly is a great hobby. Love your art - you are so talented.
DeleteBeautiful artwork. Congratulations on your 700th post. That's just awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kalpana. Glad you liked my art.
DeleteZentangle sounds better doesn't it? Doodling seems like you are just whiling away time ;) BTW Sept 22 is Doodle Day
ReplyDeleteThanks Sunita. I didn't know that. These days they have a day for everything!
DeleteI've never heard of zentangling, but I love the word and am going to use it as often as possible from now on.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, try it out too it's fun.
DeleteI'm always in awe of everyone's zentangles because I don't do that or doodle. No artistic bone in my body
ReplyDeleteYou'll be surprised Sanch once you start and do it mindlessley. You'll come up with some amazing designs.
DeleteCongrats on 700. And I really am inspired to try zentangling primarily because of your posts

Thanks Roshan. I'm glad my post inspired you. Hope to see some of yours in the future.
DeleteYes, I love Zentangling. and I agree...it is so relaxing!! I just need to get back to it again...Haven't done it in quite some time.
ReplyDeleteHi Shilpa, I think zentangling is addictive. I love your artwork - you are a pro.
DeleteI've never tried Zentangling, Suzy but I think I'll have to give it a go. So nice to be doing something beyond reading and writing to relax.
ReplyDeleteSSG xxx
Hi SSG. So glad my post encourages you to give it a go. Will look forward to your zentangles.
DeleteI am a Zentangling expert. I doodle all the time, especially when talking on the phone. I once did a complete envelope one day. I did have the inclination that I should do a heap to sell, but never did it. Great way to be creative :) #openslather
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia. Oh I would love to see your zentangles. and selling them - why not - go for it
DeleteWell that's a word I've never heard before - Zentangling. I just learned something! #teamlovinlife
ReplyDeleteHi Leanne, hope you'll try it someday too.
