This is such an easy pin that I almost feel guilty counting it for the October challenge. Almost. School teacher, Julie Joest, posted this picture of a project she assigned her class - create a card by drawing a doodle or Zentangle on an old book page, and glue to construction paper.
I didn't necessarily need a card, but loved the idea of Zentangling on old book pages. Since I keep a box of books from an estate sale for just such crafting occasions, I tore out several pages and gave it a try. I experimented with a couple types of paper, but the best result was on the porous paper rather than paper with a shiny finish. I especially liked the look of the yellowed edges.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with these, but then I have no idea what to do with an entire sketch book full of Zentangles. But if a use ever comes up, I'm ready. And we'll call that Pin #1 for October Pin It.

Those are wonderful Tami!! I will never be able to zen like you do! I will be thinking of uses for the pictures!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Tami. You could always frame them. Or leave the pages in the book and do a whole book's worth. You could even decorate/tangle the cover. I'm sure you'll think of something.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with zentangle but seems like a really cool idea. I love the one on the right--maybe frame it and display it on a bookshelf?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat idea. I really must find myself a falling apart book for this. Thanks for the idea.
