Zentangle Swap

i've been doing that steph. If I cut an a4 card down one side to make it a square card I use the offcut and can get three ATCs out of it. Just need to make a few more ATCs so i can use some of them up LOL

Kate says I must POST so here I am POSTING!!! Been reading forum but if I don't just jump in there and speak up, I've lost the moment & then don't know what to say. Having trouble w/Facebook, too! Think you just say anything at all & someone somewhere may or may not respond! Have I got the gist of it?
Have finsihed my zentangles and had a great time so thank you - perfect for me with not a lot more than a pen and some paper/card & I would never come up w it on my own. LOVED it. Shame to say - had to CHEAT!!! Couldn't get them to work - get half way through and get sloppy/mess up/not know where to go next. Ended up w/a multitude of have finished little cards. Make great bookmarks if you don't mind discarded bits of half finsihed bl & wh doodles! Couldn't get ANYWHERE - the FRUSTRATION!!! So no other choice but to cut em up and piece back together...didn't want to waste the hours I'd already invested in my unfinished bookmarks! Fiddly or wot?! Had fun! Now gotta clean up my mess - got little black and white decorated scraps everywhere. Everytime I get up and move around I shed little teeny bl & wh scrap doodles! But really into it now. Must do more. Sadly nothing else gets done and have to rush around at last minute pretending been busy all day, but, hey, no one else on forum has ever had this problem, now have they?!!!
Will drop KT's and my ATCs in post tomorrow. Off to group job interview. Now that's FUN! 2nd this week. Well,yay!!! Rather Zentangle!

Well you brought a smile to my face! Glad you enjoyed them, and looking forward to seeing what you have come up with. (I never said you couldn't chop them up, and am intrugued now!).

Good luck with the interview.

Haha, didn't realise I had put 'tat', but according to William they are Actually he has completed 2 and they are very good, but boy is he turning into a 'Kevin' at the moment and its jolly hard work,lol. \hopefully we will be finished this w/e. Rosie's are fab and she doesn' want to part with them now,lol.

LOL! I'm a bit like that with some of mine; may have to make some 'copies' before I post them

scrap doodles... lol

Warning, Tina! My bl and wh zentangles are two tone - while messing around getting nowhere fast used two different lots of paper - white card and sketchbook paper which happens to be ivory, not white. Didn't matter til I started cutting em up and moving them around. Couldn't tell in the evening- they look same in artificial light (or on very gloomy days!) Spotted it next morning. Oops! I started so I had to finish..........&, hey, presto - no longer black and white! There's QUITE a NICE cream colour, too!

Now as there is no sign up, and cos I will be away and have some time on my hands.............. I don't want you to fall over here, so hope your sitting down.

I will take a pen and some blank ATC size card and have a go.
Now its not a promise or a commitment to send them if they are total rubish, but maybe we shal see.

Well done Alison - nice to see you joining in. I thought they
were great fun.

Mine & mums posted today

Right only fair to let you know that I only got 2 done and I'm working tonight and tomorrow so will run out of time to get them done and posted. so count me out. I did enjoy doing what I have.
Sorry.

Mine went in post today too and I can't believe it, but I forgot to take a photo. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Tina, would my mind taking one for me please as I like to keep a copy of everything I do?

No problem Scatty; you'll have a couple of ATC's ready to swap now!

Lorraine, don't worry, will take photos of all of them. Would you mind making me a gallery in the Hosted Swaps section in next couple of days please? I can put them all in there.

I realised that you'd probably take piccies, hun but could you email me one of mine, please? Full size if poss?

No probs, if it's ever light enough to take photos I'll send you one!

Right, they're all here, I am waiting for my own daughter to finish hers (she has completed 3). If I can get them sorted before the weekend and take pics, I'll get them sent out, otherwise it will be Monday as originally planned.

Well, pics are up, and they have been sorted and put into return envelopes. I have really enjoyed this swap, so huge thanks to everyone that took part; every single ATC is an absolute cracker!!

Yes they are, wasn't really sure about these, so I didn't join in, but they are fab, well done everyone, no two are ever going to be the same, but so many great ideas in a small space. Enjoyed looking at these v much.

everybodys are superb arent they.... RACHEL wins best in show for me, with the colelction as a whole but the one in her bottom right corner is best in show. Steph is second and Lorraine third.


see, Im returning to my true colours a bit.

Thank you so much for doing this for us Tina, especially as it was something we could all join in at. Great to see Lynda joining in too or was it Lindy.... oops sorry but whichever one of you it was, well done for joining in.

I cant wait to receive some.. and will love whatever I get.

Just been to look at all of these and they are amazing, wouldn't have known what to do with them myself. Great to see some of the kids joining in too.

I've been to look at them all and they are stupendous ... all of them! I wish now I had been brave enough to join in. Maybe next time, eh?

I would be more than happy to do another swap at some point, I'm totally hooked on the things!

Wow! didnt' you all do well. They're amazing and so much to see within them too. I'm going to do some more and use a thinner pen.

Thanks for hosting, Tina. Nice one.

Maria, pmsl. Welcome back, hun (some of you anyway).

It was Lindy that joined, not Linda and I've edited the post title.
