Zentangle !
Have you heard of it? The name was kinda new to me!
Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. I think of it as
a bit of structured doodling.
After I finished my project I found this on pintrest. I chose to use the shoes for my project a long time ago, so I stuck with it. I added the photo, to give you an idea of what you can do.
My husband said why did you put miss you! When I was in school my friend and I would doodle on our old deck shoes, (thats what we called them back then). We mostly did it on the thick rubber side of the shoe but for this project I stuck to the canvas. My friend will remember this, and I do miss her.
As you can see I did a VERY simple design because I was working with such a small broken up space. You might want to give it a try, learn something new and it is kinda fun!
Also you have a chance to win
a set of 30 alcohol ink based markers donated by Marvy Uchida.
Wish I could play!

FAB card!
ReplyDeleteLove the Black/ red colourcombo, gorgeous contrast!
And this also reminds me of my teenage daughter Fréderique who likes to doodle on the soles of her shoes too , but also on her canvas schoolbag, schooljournal etc. sigh.
She even used to doodle on her walls, thank goodness she doesn't do that anymore, ha, ha.
Thanks for your sweet comment, much appreciated!
Bye and have a wonderful day,
Marjolein
ps. I sooo much love the stitched edges!!
This is wonderful Marybeth! I love your awesome shoes!
ReplyDeleteWow, Marybeth--this is really good. So unique to doodle inside shoes. This is a fabulous card, and if your doodling were a stamp, I'd buy it for sure.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the Zentangles! I think those shoes were a great "canvas" for it.
ReplyDeleteYou rocked this one Marybeth! I love that you remembered your friend and made this little work of art from that sweet childhood memory. Men...what do they know anyway hehe!!
ReplyDeleteMarybeth I think this is wonderful! You made the zantangle so approachable by adding it to a stamp and it looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, Marybeth. ;-) Love all those cute sneakers doodled up like this. And I love how the red laces pop. I think these shoes and sentiment make perfect sense, based on your delightful story. Love it! ;-)
