"Inspired by the Zentangle® method of pattern drawing."
Having been bitten by the Zentangle craze, I just had to stitch up some Easter eggs to send to family and friends. The first image is an example of the ones I stitched. The second is what I drew on paper while I "taught" 3 classes of children at my local art association. I shared with them images of eggs that were zentangled. I showed some easy tangles, gave them some egg stencils and markers, and let them have at it. Some just doodled away ever so quietly. If you can imagine 6 preteens drawing away for an hour and not saying a word. Incredible! The classes of elementary children were fairly quiet as well. I had little to do once these young artists got going, so I drew as well. Fun! Relaxing! Meditative!

Wish you all a pleasant Easter Day! Celebrate Springtime! The birds are singing, the flowers blooming and sending out beautiful fragrances, the sand warm to the toes, kites flying......... Enjoy!

Cool! No, I can't imagine pre-teens quiet for an hour. Yes, that zentangling is magical!
