Zentangle Mandalas by Esperoart are the topic for today’s post. I have 3 videos of Esperart for you to enjoy, and to learn how to make mandalas via Zantangle. What is a Zentangle?
“The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.”
“Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well being. The Zentangle Method is enjoyed all over this world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages.”
“Many people who have artistic talent put aside their aspirations due to time and money constraints. The Zentangle approach answers both of these concerns by being accessible and inexpensive.”
“For people who are convinced they can’t draw, the Zentangle Method removes that barrier as well. It also removes any intimidation of facing a blank sheet of paper and a novice’s work can be put next to a “pro’s” work and fit right in.”
Zentangle is often described as a form of doodling and mandala artists have begun to incorporate it into their mandala making.
Enjoy these three videos and start to “zentangle” your mandalas!
Weaving a Flower of Life pattern on a Hexagon with spool knitted cord by Noreen Crone-Findlay is the subject of today’s video. Here is what Noreen has to say about her video:
“This video tutorial by Noreen Crone-Findlay shows how to weave the ‘Flower of Life’ pattern on the Lily Speed o Weave Loom, but any other hexagonal loom will work just as well. In this video, spool knitted cord is used as the ‘yarn’, but, any kind of yarn, lucet cord, wire, ribbon, fabric strips, t shirt yarn, roving, string or cord, even video cassette tapes, all work as well.”
This detailed, step by step tutorial is a gem. Noreen throughly explains what she does and the common mistakes she has made in the past so you can easily create your Flower of Life pattern mandala.
Enjoy!
