This Isn't Zentangle

I was a snob about Zentangle at first because "that's only doodling."

But I admit that doodling, as a purposeful way to relax the mind and body, is a new and valid concept and deserves its own name. 

Then I get to be a snob because I don’t want to be found doodling according to someone else's ideas, copying patterns I got from books.  

My own thing isn't nearly as pretty. But here it is. 

These are pages from my sketchbook that date from before Zentangle was a thing. 

wallpaper related to that pillow

I worked out that design in Electric Quilt before starting it. Of course it always looks a lot neater in EQ than it turns out to IRL!
I made some wallpaper from the test. This is too bright and busy to be wallpaper, but it's my wallpaper right now anyway :-)
