DJ is a friend who is a beader and a quilter and we get together for lunch and the hunt. The last exploration took us to Ryco Trim in Lincoln, RI where she got some trim for her journal quilt made from a Zentangle. Go to Suzanne McNeill's hyperlink above at YouTube to view the process or Google Zendoodle and Zentangle to see other videos so you can start Zendoodling in a sketchbook for work you want to turn into a quilt. DJ says that a light weight polyester batting is less tiring on the hands.
I plan to show the grandchildren how to ZenTangle/Zendoodle on paper, but adults can take it to really sophisticated levels. Get a book to get started!
That is fascinating. I have never seen anything about it. Now I can check it out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI loved your post, especially the goat! Memories of a really nice day! DJD
ReplyDeleteI am going to order a book to be sent to California! Others have urged me to give this a try, but YOU have really inspired me. And I do think this would be something my grandchildren would enjoy. Like you, I want to take Zentangling and Zendoodling to the next level and do a small quilt using the technique. Perhaps someday one of our MM themes will "fit" and I can do a 12x12 quilt using that technique. Oh, how silly of me to say that! ANY theme would fit, of course!
ReplyDeleteThe Journal Quilt Connection has decided to do one for February, next year...a 12 x 12! It will incorporate so many techniques and people's zendoodles/zentangles are always different.
DeleteDear Linda, it's all Zen to me, but the goat is very curious about what's going on. I love the yard!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE IT ALL, AND THE GOAT MAKES ME LAUGH.
ReplyDeleteThat is a Boer goat. They've been the rage the last maybe 15 years. About half of mine are Boers, but I won't sell them even though they are the fattest goats in the county. They are all my pets. I am a terrible business woman.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,
