Grateful

Recently I was fortunate to be the instructor for a Zentangle art class, and the above tangle is one of the creations the participants and I worked on.  Each time I put pen to paper and draw any type of pattern, I quickly remember how fortunate I am to have stumbled upon this beautiful art form and feel much gratitude toward its founders, Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts.  Learn more at zentangle.com
