Let's get started!

Last May my twin sister and I learned about Zentangles.  We were heading off to a teachers' workshop and one of the options in the art section was a session about Zentangles.  We used the internet to see what this art form was all about and we both became fascinated with the idea.  It was like we suddenly had permission to doodle!  After the workshop we continued to 'tangle' and we made use of books on the art of Zentangle and the internet.

As it turned out, we both made some changes in our careers and we both left the Maritimes and headed west.  I am spending the year in the Northwest Territories and my twin is spending the year in Alberta.  To help us stay connected we decided to set weekly challenges for each other.  We started in August and set the first challenge.  This blog is about these weekly (and sometimes by-weekly) challenges.

I don't know about you but I like a challenge.  Over the next few weeks I am going to share our past challenges with you.  Once I get caught up, I will post the challenge of the week and when we both complete the week's challenge I will share the results.  Please feel free to try the challenge.  The internet has lots of ideas and information about zentangles.  I will share information and websites with you as we go along. Enjoy our zentangles and try it out!  It is fun and relaxing and good for you!
