Zentangle seems to be the latest craze among pen doodlers. All I know is I used to do this when I was on the phone (behind a corporate-type desk) or in college when I was bored (not that I ever didn't pay attention you understand).
In any case, I felt the need to try my version of Zentangle this morning. I'm saying *my version* because I have not yet gone to a class nor have I (yet)purchased the Zentangle book (available @ For Keeps Sake Scrapbook). With Copic's in hand, a trusty Inkadinkado stamp, embossing powder and Copic papers (available at For Keeps Sake), I tried this:
Started by stamping an Inkadinkado heart in the center
of a 4"x4" Copic paper card.
Embossed the image with black embossing powder
and
started doodling with a Copic Multiliner.
You don't have to start with an image,
you can just doodle.
But since stamping is my *thing*
it gave me a good jumping off point.
Here's more Zentangle from a very talented gal who shares a Yahoo group with me:

or just google Zentangle (if you'd like to try it yourself).
Interesting . . . I use rubberstamps in MY zentangle-inspired pieces as WELL! I guess great artsy minds think alike *smiles* I even used that particular stamp on one of my zentangle atc's!
