New to Zentangling? (Int'l)

International swap, . There is also a USA-version running. This swap is open to newbies who have a complete and well-thought-out profile.

Does the idea of Zentangle scare you a little? If you don't consider yourself a doodler, then perhaps it might.

This is a completely judgement-FREE swap, and the ONLY rule is that you have FUN with it! , You will have TWO partners. (That means you will get TWO ratings.)

DETAILS: Take two pieces of 12.7 x 12.7 cm (5"x5")plain card stock. (I recycle off- white Manila file folders.)

Draw lines back and forth, and up and down, 3.175 cm (1 1/4")apart. (That will make four rows of squares, across, and four rows of squares, up and down, 16 squares total.)

Fill each tiny square with a zen-doodle. (Or Zentangle, if you prefer.)

Please keep it black and white.

Your swap partners can then use them for ATC's or inchies' backgrounds, or anything else of their choice.

To mail your cards, they can be folded along the center line, to fit into a regular envelope.

You can find hundreds of designs online, in books, or just your imagination!

Fill the entire page (all 16 squares).

Repeat on the second page. You can either copy the same designs from the first one, or come up with something entirely different. Send one Zentangle card to each of your swap partners.

As I said, this is completely judgement-FREE!

And remember...MOST important!.....have FUN!
