Hello lovely people of Scratch,
I've recently rediscovered the wonderful thing that is Zentangle!

What is the Zentangle Method?

Zentangle is about being present and enjoying creation. There is no pressure to create the perfect outcome. When you start to use the Zentangle method, you will feel more focused and creative, as well as having a better sense of well-being and self-confidence.

It is when you use patterns ('tangles') to fill in a square ('tile') which you have divided into sections using a single line (a ‘string’).
You make this picture in ink/pen, meaning whenever you make a mistake, you embrace it and continue. You don't need an eraser to make a Zentangle, much like how in life you don't get an eraser either!


Is it just doodling?

Each line is done with intent, making it different from doodling, however sometimes I do use the tangles (patterns) to decorate my notebooks. However the whole idea is that the Zentangle is unplanned, meaning you can go with the flow!
If you are interested in starting Zentangle yourself, I made a project to help! Click here to see. Also, you can visit zentangle.com or tanglepatterns.com

I enjoy Zentangle because it's very calming, and I like to create a Zentangle after a long stressful day because it helps me to relax.

Here are some of the Zentangles that I have created:
