I wondered what my mandala Zentangle would look like if I did it on a 12" piece of black card stock with a white Gelly Roll pen. It really doesn't take as long as you would think to do one of these. It took me a few hours max. I considered it my morning stretch while I had my cup of coffee. Just a few minutes here and there during the day and Voila! it was done. Try it yourself, don't over think it, just one stroke at a time, as Rick and Maria (the inventors of Zentangle) like to say. You will notice that with each small rotation you get a different perspective of the wheel.
Kind of like life.

Now rotate the wheel slightly and you get a different look. |

Look a little closer.... |
It is not perfect but then neither am I and that's OK. Hope you will try it, it is very relaxing and fun.
The bold look really grabs you, and then the intricate details keep the eyes engaged. I can imagine how relaxing it was to create it, especially when you're not focused on trying to be perfect...such a great attitude!
