What Is This Crazy Art Form?!

  
   My new crazy art is based on Zentangle. Zentangle is a registered trademark of Zentangle Inc. It was created in America many years ago by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. You can learn more about this wonderful repeat pattern process at http://www.zentangle.com/

   It is super fun and relaxing. This is also known as doodling from when we were kids, repeat pattern, line weaving, zen doodle it is all using simple lines combined together to make complicated patterns. It is used to help treat migraines, addiction, pain management. It helps you get into a relaxed and much happier mood.  I have read articles from people who have used this to help deal with chemotherapy in adults and children.  The best thing about it is this is an art form that does not require many different supplies. Pen, pencil, paper and your imagination.  As you go on though, you learn how the more expensive paper holds more color and better colored pencils look much better!!
