Something to do - other than housework :)

As if I don't already have enough distractions throughout the day, I've now become hooked on Zentangle.  For those of you  who don't know what Zentangle is, here's a brief idea:

Start with a square about 3 1/2", draw a random line through the square, and fill in the spaces with pattern. 

Robbie sparked my interest in this art form when she posted a picture of her Zentangle fish that she then turned into an amazing piece of beadwork ( go check it out and then come back, ok?).

I ordered myself up some books on Zentangle and a pack of these Micron pens that were recommended to use when Zentangling and got to it.

I actually did my first couple while on our boat - I couldn't help it, the books had just come in the mail before we were leaving, and I just HAD to get it at.

It's very addictive and relaxing.

If any of you are interested in learning this art form, let me know by leaving me a comment.  I'll draw a name from the comments and send you this beginning book and a pen to get your started.  -- Just don't call me when your dust bunnies start turning into tumbleweeds :)  hmm, maybe it's possible to Zentangle in dust??  You know that a house becomes a home when you can write "I Love You" in the dust, right?

I'll pick a name next Wednesday (July 21) around 6 a.m. (eastern time).  Please make sure you either leave your email address in the comment or check back on the 21st to see if you are the winner and then let me know your email address so we can connect.

Bead Happy - and Often!
