After I posted my link to my Sunday Sketch, I had a couple of people tell me that it was a zentangle.....who knew? I had no idea what a zentangle was. Turns out it some sort of mediative drawing or doodling. According to zentangle.com "Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity. Zentangle provides artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well being"
They also call it a "elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life" and also "mediative". You can buy kits and books...they've taken doodling to a whole new commercial thing. I was amazed people would pay money to doodle!
It is available in my Etsy Shop at this link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/69525379/mixed-media-aceo-original-sea-of-life

FUN! Great little ocean quest response ;^)
HMMM zentangle...sounds good and you really have a knack! :-)
This is colourful adn fun too - yes zentangle - so funny how things we've done for years are now labeled and have become styles, trends whatever - who would ever have known scrap booking would become such big industry - my great grandma scrap booked with just stuff she had around as did grandma and my mom! Who would have thunk it?
This is great Joann, I love to zentangle it is great fun and very freeing.
this is wonderful. I love how you designed it! looks almost like a woodblock print.
Very interesting! And I like it!
