Discovered The World of Zentangles

Good morning everyone...

I had to share this with you.  I discovered this awesome art form a couple days ago. I think it would make great background papers, note cards, ATC cards, photo mats, or anything else you can think of..  It is called Zentangle® .  Ok, now what is this Zentangle® thing you ask?  It is where you just doddle some lines and fill in the spaces with patterns (in the Zentangle® world they are called "Tangles")  I accidentally found this when I was browsing policy envelope mini's in google images. 

Zentangle® is a registered trademark. The official web site is http://www.zentangle.com .  Check it out.  I am not much of an artist per say but I was able to do this and if I can anyone can. 

Here is my first attempt.  I may use it on a note card of some sort, not sure yet. I have already matted it with black card stock.

This is so much fun and relaxing.  I had a slow day at work yesterday and sat and "tangled".  I think of it as an organized doodle.  Leave a comment and let me know if you have ever heard of Zentangle®
