So, you probably already know how much I love making these tiny 2.5 x 3.5-inch art cards—yep, those little gems called art cards. They're my jam!

These mini masterpieces, also known as ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals), are such a fun way to get creative. Lately, I've been diving into Zentangle, which is this super cool method for learning or improving your drawing skills. And guess what? It's actually really fun!

If you're curious and want to dive into something creative and relaxing, you've gotta check out the book One Zentangle A Day by Beckah Krahula. Seriously, it's an awesome guide to get you started!

If you're wondering where to get the book or supplies, I’ve got you covered—everything I use is linked in my Amazon Shop.

So, what’s Zentangle all about? It’s actually a super simple, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful designs using structured patterns. It’s like creative meditation that helps with mindfulness, focus, and just letting your imagination flow. And the best part? You don’t have to be a pro artist to do it—anyone can Zentangle!

Why’s everyone so into Zentangle? Well, it’s easy to learn, it reduces stress, and it’s just plain satisfying. Plus, every line you draw is part of something unique—no such thing as mistakes here! It’s perfect for all ages and skill levels, which is probably why it’s such a big deal worldwide.

How do you jump into Zentangle? Getting started is ridiculously easy. All you need is a pen, pencil, and a small piece of paper, aka a "tile." Draw a few rough outlines, then start filling them with repetitive patterns (these are called tangles). There are so many resources, classes, and tutorials out there to help you along the way, so you can totally make this your new creative outlet whenever you want.

Zentangle is an awesome way to chill out, get creative, and make something beautiful while playing around with shapes and lines. Go ahead, give it a shot—you might just find a new favorite hobby!

Have a creative day!
