Description:

With the permission of @jj9jj I am starting another round of the Zentangle Alphabet. There are a couple of changes though. This swap is US only due to the postal cost. If anyone wants to start a Canadian/International version, you are welcome to do so.

Now for the good stuff. Zentangled Alphabet - "A". The Alphabet series begins anew. Zentangle an UPPER case "A"*on ATC sized (2.5 inch x3.5 inch) card stock or similar paper. You will have 1 swap partner for one Zentangled "A" ATC. Adding a color or using a colored paper or color washed background is optional. Please make sure you have a sturdy backing & add the name of the swap, your name & swap name and the date completed. One new rule that I'm adding (due to the questionable zentangles people were receiving) is that all your patterns must be a certified zentangle patterns. If youreare unsure what these are, go to TanglezPatterns.com. Doodling is very different than zentangling. Making these letters is a great way to learn new patterns.

We will go in order through the alphabet until the end - "Z" so you can work ahead if you wish or wait until you get your partner to see the color they like but this IS senders choice.

The usual Swap-bot rules apply. Newbies are welcome as long as the swap requirements are fulfilled. Flaking will NOT be tolerated and you must be in good standing. If you have any problems contact your swap partner and me. If you have questions about the swap, leave it in the comment section or pm me. If you flake on a letter, I will angel the letter for you BUT... you will be banned from further letters.

Happy Zentangling! Newbie friendly!

I will be having 'Letter Make-Up swaps' from time to time, too, if you miss a letter and want to get caught up!

Hi all This is my first swap attempt, so i will try to do my best. :)

Are we to draw the A on the card and leave the background blank or do we color it in somehow...OR, are we cutting the letter out of the ATC sized card?

BlueEyesDarkly 05/21/2012 #

I cant wait to get my partner and start drawing. I love drawing, as it turns out. :P

@crazypurplelady .......normally, we draw the letter on the card and then you zentangle the background or the letter or the whole card. No strict rules about that part as long as you use official zentangle patterns. I received a card once with the whole background zentangled and the letter (also zentangled) cut out and attached with those sticky dots so there was a dimension to it.

I'm loving this! I love zentangles and have all the books with the patterns so this will give me good practice!

Deeno1105, thanks for the reply and that makes me feel better. I like the dimension idea!

I had so much fun creating this ATC. Please message me when The Zentagled "B" ATC Swap Starts. =)

I'll probably post the "B" next Friday.

I'm glad you had fun. Hope everyone is having fun with this.
