Our November fellowship featured a short learning moment on “Zentangles” and “Zendoodles”. We learned how to make an abstract layout which could be used to record our gratitude list items, and then how to doodle a border around it. Here are a few helpful links and instructions

Step 1: Use an object to trace random shapes across the page. Overlapping shapes are great!
Step 2: Wherever the shapes overlap, color in a solid color.
Step 3: wherever there is blank space between the shapes, create different Doodle Patterns. If there is a large amount of blank space, it is okay to add lines, curves, and partial shapes to break it up!
Step 4: use the blank space within the shapes to record items from your Gratitude List. The list is just a suggestion — do as many or as few categories as you wish, and it is okay to include more than one category in each space.
Step 5: Share your creation if you wish!
