Zentangle is basically doodling using repetitive patterns.

Would you use fabric to inspire your Zentangles?
Yes. nice idea!
nicely done. it may be good for my curtains
I'm not a doodler but your work is great!
I love to doodle too!
Possibly. I would more likely take patterns in nature...wavy water, blades of grass, pretty leaves, flower petals...that sort of thing.
Of course! It's fun to take a design and give it your own tweak....I guess I'd be a Zentangle Wrangler, huh? ha :)

@Virginia Allain: That's the most fun, to just go with it.
I just keep adding embellishments to the design I started until I think it is done. I don't really try to draw something that I see though.
