First attempt at a zentangle face


I've had so much fun watching Rebecca Anthony do her zentangle portraits, that I couldn't resist trying one last night as I watch Amira do her homework!  This is the result, and it was very relaxing and fun!

If you haven't discovered Rebecca, do head over and check out her always fabulous work! Smiles!

    ~when i was younger i used to "doodle" like this...though never a face just lines and objects and shapes flowing over the paper...zentangle...a fascinating word! and this portrait is gorgeous with all its intricate detailing and the words you have written make it ever so special...wonderful job! warm wishes and brightest blessings~
