Simple tangles
Here are three simple tangle patterns. In fact, they are so simple that I imagine someone else has likely used/named them already. If so, let me know and I will give proper credit where it is due. I used them as filler in a ZIA with a lot of flower and leaf patterns.
There really aren't any steps for these simple patterns. For Rayne draw a series of dotted or tiny dashes and end with the drop. The rainfall can come in from any direction. Splash is just the droplets sort of bouncing back up as they hit the ground and Puddle is a series of concentric curved lines that progressively get longer as you work out from the center. These tangles work nicely with the floral and leafy tangles.

Doodle Camp--Day 1
Doodle Camp officially begins today. There isn't anything to do yet...just unpack, get settled in our cabins and begin to get to know our fellow campers. I have that same excited/nervous feeling that I get whenever I begin something new. I know this will be a lot of fun and I will learn a lot from our camp counselor, Dawn DeVries Sokol as well as from the other campers. As usual, I am just anxious to get started and DO something. I want to prep a few of my sketchbook journal pages by painting them. I think I can at least do that tonight.
More later!
More later!

I'm off to camp
I'm not sure why I do it...I have a history of diving into a project full-force then abandoning it when I get, distracted, overwhelmed. bored, busy...???...I'm not exactly sure why. With Zentangle and this blog I want to change that behavior. I haven't stopped Zen-doodling, I've just stopped posting my work.
I've just signed on to two new projects that will dovetail nicely with Zentangle and hopefully get me back on track here.
The first, I plan to attend Doodle Camp hosted by Dawn DeVries Sokol. This summer camp for doodlers, beginning July 2, will be three weeks of doodle tips and techniques, chances to win cool prizes (you know I love contests), and lots of fun.
The second is the 2012 Sketchbook Project. I really debated with myself about this one, but decided to take the plunge because the sketchbook isn't due until January. Besides, I can begin to fill it with my summer camp doodles.
For now, I am going to kickback, relax and tangle.
It is what it is.
