Catching Up!

Three weeks have passed since my last blog post, and it feels good to be back! I won't bore you with my activities since the inauguration of our "so-called" president, but know that my days have been full...

Enough! On to some Zen...

I've started a new (for me) approach to tangling. As you may recall from my last post, I have a new toy, a random number generator. I had numbered all the tanglepatterns tangles, and then done a separate list of official Zentangle patterns. Every morning, I pick 6 numbers. (Hmm. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket... I digress!!!)  The first is for the string. (These are handily numbered on tangle patterns.com) The next 5 are for official ZT tangles, but I may use fewer than 5. Grab my coffee, and sometimes my glasses--ha!--and off we go. My focus is P R O C E S S, rather than product. I love not having (being able to!) think, but just moving the pen, then shading. Since I'm doing these in a small journal, I usually finish in less than 30 minutes. With a smile on my face.


This morning's act of random tangling. String #63, by Anne Marks, with Xircuss and Quib.

Now for some catching up:

Diva's Weekly Challenge #299: Drawings


Diva's Weekly Challenge #300: Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day


Diva's Weekly Challenge #301: Paradox / Diva Dance Duotangle



And finally, I just want to share my new pencil pouch. This was tons of fun! The pouches are available from zentangle.com. I prepped it with ModPodge and used my Identapen with a gray Fabrico marker for shading.





These were all posted on the Mosaic app. I'm @JenniferSparrowCZT21.
Have a fantastic week!

  1. Dear Jennifer, welcome back... I have already missed you ;-)
    Your tiles are stunning. I love the idea of your daily tangles with the number generator... You describe a very relaxing process of tangling. I have found a similar way with my Zentangle calendar where I draw daily ONE tangle which is new to me. Somtimes it is hard to decide which tangle to use- maybe I should grab your idea with the random numbers... Wish you a nice week (despite of Mr.T;-()
