Journaling Zentangle Inspired Art

I have a Canson Mixed Media Journal 

 that I've been using to use up leftover paint, or ink on stencils.  The cover looks like this:

And the pages I used to use up leftover paint and sprays look like this:

 SEI Tumble dye on a Crafters Workshop stencil.  You get the reversed image when using up the ink left on the stencil.

 Acrylic Paint.

 

Here's a tangle I started on a page with some acrylic paint wiped off on it.

This is the completed tangle.  Designs were inspired by patterns and gallery examples in the following Zentange Books.

It's alot of fun and very relaxing if you let yourself give it a try and truly enjoy.  You don't have to be creative - just need the desire to relax and let it stop all the thoughts flying around in your head!

Works for me!

Enjoy!

Thanks for taking a look.
