my first fabric Zentangle


Thought I would try a Zentangle in fabric.
I drew the zentangle on cotton with a Micron pen 05
then I embroidered the face and a few lines on the checkerboard. Then fused it onto
a pieced, fm stitched background , satin stitched around the edges and applied the whole
thing to a canvas wrapped frame.
This was all a first attempt at the possibility of making Zentangles on fabric. Think I might
try a few more.

  4. Verna,
    How wonderful to see your newest work! I love the direction you are going with your Zentangles - I took a class from Sherry Rogers Harrison at NQA in June. You should take a look at her work to see some extreme examples (although she calls her works "Inklique" rather than Zentangles). Enjoy that beautiful PEI fall!
