Do you Zentangle? #vlog #chaiwithsuzy #SuzysIlation

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.

A new type of Meditation ... #writebravely #WriteTribeProBlogger #MondayMusings

I've always enjoyed doodling.  And now it has a fancy name Zentangling.  I bought myself a teach it yourself Zentangling book but somehow learning to Zentangle didn't gel very well. I think I am too impatient to learn the techniques.

But I love to doodle freehand. Some days ago I came across the Inktober challenge but I was too late to join.  I thought I would do the challenge anyway just for myself and Zentangling seemed to be most appropriate. Each day I Zentangle and as I do it, I find it quite meditative.

So now I've discovered a new type of meditation. No wonder it's called Zen-tangling.

Here is one of my Zentangles. Not the best and I could've done a whole lot better. But it will do for now.

They're just enjoying painting.
