New design: Zentangle-inspired Art

Wow it's Friday! Wherever has my week gone? Time flies when you're on Spring Break!!

Yesterday I discovered a very fascinating art form called Zentangle. It's basically divvying up shapes into sections and then adding a basic repetitive pattern to each section. You can find out a lot about different pattern options on YouTube, or you can just make up your own!

Here's the first one I did. It took about three hours and was done mostly with fine-tip Sharpie.

      Yes I think I probably will. I'd like to scan in these larger pages to sell as printable coloring pages and then make some smaller prints to sell as ACEO cards. :)

Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make].
