There are not many words in the dictionary to choose from and I have gone with the word zeta - the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet. Zentangle was not a choice as that word has been copyrighted and presumably will not appear in a dictionary. I decided to tangle my background but I certainly didn't get any zen from Zentangling - I found it a very stressful process! I would much rather have pieces of paper that I can move around freely before deciding their finished position.
After drawing the design I computer generated the Z and definition, cut them out and glued them to the postcard. This week the challenge has a twist - add one ore more pearls to the project - so I finished off with three flat back pearls.

I was going to say "great minds think alike" but I went for Zed! Although that is based on Zeta. Great tangling - far better than mine. I don't find it at all easy or restful. Fabulous postcard Maggie x
What a genius idea! I've just loaded mine - Zebra! and I entangled a zebra print - it didn't even occur to me to pick zentangle. Doh! Lovely submission. Best wishes, Anne
A very striking piece. I'm another one that finds zentangling very stressful. I don't think I could get on with those fiddly colouring books that are all the rage now either.
I love scrabble and I love picking the Z, as long as it's not on the last pick and I have lots of vowels. Your tangles are beautiful. Who needs zen. Very striking piece. Hugz
I was THRILLED to read I'm not the only one who does NOT like zentangling, or doodling like that in any fashion. Most people find it relaxing, but I find it stressful because I grip the pen too tightly and can't straighten my fingers after awhile.
I really enjoyed your Zeta, and like you, prefer to move paper and images around on the page until they are where they belong. Love the pearl twist, too. Lovely finish.
I find Zentangle stressing too! But it looks good and you've managed to remember the pearl!
Love your page. I am so bad at Zentangling. I'm always so impressed when I see it.
Fabulous page, I really like entangling, but not very good at it. Zeta was a great word to use.
