Description:

I am a brand-new Zentangle enthusiast but am really just now starting to learn some of the official Zentangle patterns at http://tanglepatterns.com/. So, needless to say I am not very good at making these little art creations, or atleast I don't think I am, lol. I am hesitant to join Zentangle swaps because the last thing I want to do is disappoint an experienced, very talented Zentangle artist. So, I figure there are probably alot of other beginners like me who would like to swap with other beginners. So here we are:)))

When you join this swap, post which size you would prefer to receive....3.5" x 3.5" or 2.5" x 3.5 which is ATC size. Then you will create a zentangle for your assigned partner in their preferred size using any of the official patterns found at http://tanglepatterns.com/ or any other patterns you may find online or already have in your possession. You may also design and create your own zentangle patterns if you would like to. I know I for one am having a hard combining pattens I find on the web in order to create a pretty zentangle with several combined patterns. I tend to like to create my own as I go, lol. It has been brought to my attention that there are alot of Zentangle patterns that have been designed by various artists that are not listed on the 'Official Website", so feel free to search the web and use any Zentangle pattern(s) you come across on the 'Official Site' or elsewhere. You can use one pattern or you can use 10, whatever works for you:)

You can make your Zentangles black & white or you can color with colored pencils, markers, watercolors, etc. Sender's preference:)

To join this swap you must have a 4.95 rating with no recent unexplained 1s or 3s. Newbies welcome with a well filled out profile. If we have any flakers I will angel, but hopefully there won't be a need:) If anyone flakes on this swap they will NEVER be welcome in any of my swaps again!!!

If my partner reads this - I like ATC size - 2 1/2 by 3 1/2, so I will give hearts if mine is smaller. Well, probably i'll give hearts anyway because you made it and it will be beautiful!

kgeslab 01/16/2013 #

Oh - should we use traditional black and white or should we use color? Can the background be colored with watercolor or should it be white? I can't wait to start!

I changed the description to read that the zentangles can be 3.5" x 3.5" or they can be ATC size...sender's choice. Also can be black & white or color...sender's choice:) Thanks @kgeslab for posting your preferences. Made me stop and think that there are probably others who prefer ATC size.

You know??? Second thought.....let's do this!!! Everyone post here which size they would like to receive....3.5" x 3.5" or 2.5" x 3.5". Then when you are assigned partners check to see which size the person you are sending to prefers and make their zentangle that size. Does this sound good to everyone??? I am revising the swap to state this change.

...if possible, please zentangle an ATC for me :-)

bettflow09 01/16/2013 #

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter which size my partner makes for me. Will be happy with either size:)))

BennysMumma 01/17/2013 #

I'd rather have 3.5 x 3.5 please :)

roaddummy 01/19/2013 #

I have no preference on size or color!! Sender's choice for me!

VivaGlitter 01/21/2013 #

I prefer ATC size

pne 01/25/2013 #

Does it have to be on an official Zentangle tile & with the recommended pens or is any pen & surface OK as long as it's the right size?

beadqueene 01/25/2013 #

I'd prefer to have an ATC size zentangle to add to my collection :)

djfshop 01/31/2013 #

senders choice for me!!

bettflow09 02/ 1/2013 #

@pne you do not have to use official zentangle tiles, but you do need to use something no lighter than cardstock. Watercolor paper is another surface that is very good for tangeling.

sender's choice is fine for me!

Tommie 02/ 3/2013 #

3.5 by 3.5 please :)

KraftyKaren 02/ 3/2013 #

I'd rather 2.5x3.5, so I can fit it in my binder. (I use baseball card pages to hold my ATC's). :) Happy tangling everyone.

3.5 by 3.5 or 2.5 by 2.5 I do not mind witch one :)
