Set of 4 Cards (Carol Doak's Keepsake Frame Cards) with Zentangle-Inspired Art |
In this first card, I wanted to get away from the usual, squarish tile for my Zentangle design. I was making an abstract design, but it resembles a 2 or an R.
Abstract Tangles: Crescent Moon, Florz, Hollibaugh variation, Pebbles, and a quilting scallop design. |
In the second card, I was practicing designs from Zentangle 4 by Suzanne McNeil. She has written several books on Zentangles that include many tangles with several ideas and inspiration. Several people said the "plum leaf variation" tangle made them think of a guitar, hence the name.
Guitar Tangles: Deco Border, Pearlz, Peacock Tail, Plum Leaf variation. Pyramids, and Sugarcane |
In this third card, I wanted to tangle a realistic critter. By the time I finished, a moth flittered on the page with large eyes, fat antennae, large front wings, delicate, lacy back wings, a squarish body, and a paisley tail.

The doctor enjoyed the set of cards. She decided to frame them and hang them on her wall, along with the framed wall-hanging ZIA (Zentangle-inspired art) I had previously made for her. I enjoyed making the cards so much, that I made a second set to use as samples.
