Hey!

My late mother once started Zentangles, although she was much better than i was. I want to really start now, too. However, I do not have the Zentangle book anymore and can't remember many patterns nor invent my own. I also do not really want to look up a new pattern every few minutes.

Do you have any advice on how to better remember patterns or how to invent your own easily without it looking bad?

I'd love to hear your advice!

Thanks

I've been thinking of buying some waterproof India ink to refill fineliners. However, the ones that were shown in the YouTube videos are kind of on the expensive side for me, and I'd like some reviews about how your fineliners worked after refilling, if there was any change in the quality/ink bleed or such.

The poem is called “Forty Years”

Done with some random pen on the b-side of a Phi tile. Tripoli in the Vs.

I’m scared to write too much about this tile. Suffice to say, it took two nights and almost ended up in the garbage.

Trust the process and don’t give up.

It feels like it’s taking forever to finish this one, but it’s because I kept getting frustrated with myself over it. I started to really hate it so I put it out of sight for awhile- but after coming back to it and adding more purple, I’ve started to kinda like it again. It’s almost done- not quite.

I always start out telling myself “let’s keep this one simple” and then it always turns into something like this lol

I'm not totally happy with all of it but it was fun.

All of the circles are painted with metallic watercolor.
