Zentangle

I have found a wonderful new art form, and am totally addicted.  It is called Zentangle.  I see it as a form of meditative creating.  A tangle is a design.  you draw a string, a scribble line, basically, crossing over itself, curving, straight, all at once.  Then in each section that is created, you draw a different tangle.  I bought a kit from the website www.zentangle.com.  In fact, I also got a kit for my two nieces and two nephews, and I hope they are enjoying this as much as I am.
I did not realize how wide spread this was until I started finding blogs about it. They even have certified Zentangle teachers.  I would love to become one, but have to save up a lot of money first.
Here are the first few pieces I have created.
