Scrunch!
Maria was working on a large Zentangle and decided she didn't like it. She scrunched it up and tossed it in the trash.
Then she looked at it.
"Now I like it!"
She took it out, varnished it (MinWax polyurethane) and now it's in our gallery.
So true, Carole - I have a couple early ones that I don't really care for but have not tossed out - more than once when I've been showing folks Zentangles someone has liked my "ugly ducklings" more than the others - beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for rescuing this one!
Maria - the varnish - do you spray or brush it on? Any special tips for varnishing paper? Thanks
is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.
We believe that life is an art form and that the Zentangle method is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life.

Even our discards and "mistakes" become art-full!!!
Wow. Just goes to show: there are no mistakes in Zentangle.

Wow, I must go through my trash can!!!! Everything is "art". Thank you!
LOL! I love it! Good for you to be able to see with new eyes.
It's fantastic to see a zentangle become a 3-dimensional object! I could see this becoming a form on it's own!
if it is a flat piece of paper, I use a sponge brush. if it is 3 dimensional, I use spray, but generally I don't like spray.......too messy. maria
love it!!
Recycling, trash or treasure, a great spin on art...very classy!
Is this a regular sized Zentangle tile? Awesome idea!!!
Jhugi,
That's our tile paper, but just a larger sheet.
