While the term zentangle is new, the concept isn't but what the new term has done (and kudos to the creators of this term and providing a structure) has done is opened a door of creative opportunity to those who didn't think they could be creative.<br /><br />Your mandala is lovely:)jafabrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490900607853203086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391285700178232339.post-69292697635675167942010-11-09T20:27:12.860-05:002010-11-09T20:27:12.860-05:00I don't think zentangles are cheating it is si...I don't think zentangles are cheating it is simply a new art form one that has really taken off lately and I have just discovered.

It is just one tool, one techinique, to getting your creativity expressed. <br />Learning that comparing yourself to others, whether for the art your make, the life you lead, the money you make or whatever, always becomes a trap for feeling inadequate !

I let it stop me from so much in life. Well my blog is my journey to overcome that fear. I have so many half finished pieced of artwork lying around its NOT funny. To finish is to stand back and say 'there its done. This is the best i can do. its finished' that terrifies me. <br /><br />Anyway i just wanted you to know that on some of your previous posts that could have been me writing those words. debjinxxxygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349344319328467284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391285700178232339.post-22206827740794005762010-11-08T21:10:01.189-05:002010-11-08T21:10:01.189-05:00Zentangling cheating???
