It is said that there are no mistakes in Zentangle – a comforting assertion but one that I found to not exactly be true when last week I attempted the weekly template from Ben Kwok’s OrnationCreation. The maneki neko (lucky cat) refused to be lucky for me and I kept making mistakes – glaringly obvious ones (block patterns out of sequence being the most frequent). I eventually completed on my fifth attempt, but am still not sure whether I like it or not. I think my judgement may be somewhat soured by the battle I had just to complete it. Hoping for greater success this week.
Meanwhile, with Ben’s kind permission, I have sent up a new card store at Greeting Card Universe, where you can find all of these designs. I will be splitting any proceeds between a number of different Stroke charities in recognition of how Zentangle has helped me on my long road to relative recovery.
