Intro Week for BCConnection Art Journaling

Maybe participants requested that I give them an additional week to purchase the art supplies. Today, we will do ZenTangle which is mindful doodling. Once you get into the "Zone", your mind resets and you feel as if you had a refreshing nap.

The prompts to write on the back of your ZenTangle piece is to write a sentence or two that will make you feel happy when you read it. (For example: You are beautiful and you deserve good things in life.)  Now, the special surprise is that if you feel inclined, give your ZenTangle to a random person. See how that makes you feel and share it on the secret group. Make sure to take a picture of the doodle and the message first so you can post it on the secret group.

Items needed are:
Paper 4" x 4"  
Pencil
Micro Black Pen (or any ink pen)

I started a video of my own until I found this YouTube video from the creator of ZenTangle. It is much better than mine and I felt you would get more out of watching them than me. Trust me, you will thank me for introducing you to this.  The Founders are Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.

Next week, we will start on our Art Journaling, so make sure to purchase your art journal book!
Look for magazine photos of faces and make a black & white copy of the face you like. You'll also need glue (Mod Podge Matte) and watercolor pencil or watercolor paint.

Thanks for stopping by and happy doodling!
