In the latest blog post from Zentangle, Rick and Maria discussed the basic elements of the Zentangle Method. They’ve often said that if you can write your name, you can draw Zentangle. The basic elements are a dot, a line, a C curve, an S curve, and an Orb. It is also known as “icso” and in today’s video I decided to show two patterns that are based on using those elements. Of course, all patterns use these elements, but these have the elements in the name and they are fun pretty patterns.
OCSIDOT is from CZT Sandy Kelley-Jones and DICSO is from CZT Mina (Ping-Min) Hsiao and I tried to find a creative way to combine them on a tile. These are both fun patterns, I hope that you enjoy the video.
