Tangle Folk!

One of the many things I love about Zentangle® is that I can use it for relaxation and to help cope during stressful times.  In October, I had my gallbladder removed, and I was probably a little nervous even if I didn't let on about it.  I just realized that I never posted my creative practice for the day.  While I was in the hospital in my oh so attractive johnny, I tangled to take my mind off of what would come next.  I wish I could have tangled longer, but at least I got some in before my IV came.  At that point, I couldn't hold my pen well enough.

I had just watched a video from the CZT Zentangle Marketing Retreat featuring "Tangle Folk" by Billie Lauder. I thought they looked like a lot of fun so I learned the basics before going to the hospital.  I tried my hand at three tangled folk while I waited.  I thought they were a blast to create!  Certain tangles just scream out as hair, to me, including Mooka.  I think I'll try leaving the faces blank next time though.
