Maybe ten years ago, I discovered zentangle through an artist trading card swap. I gave it a try, and I've been addicted ever since.
I enjoy perusing the many zentangles and tangle patterns out there. This one, though, started out as a random doodle while I was on the phone with a client. Since then, it keeps cropping up on random bits of paper. I'm just a bit in love with it. Originally it was just a design. Now it has come to look like falling blossoms, fluttering down from the trees.
Whatever it is, I love the physical act of drawing them. It's so relaxing.
Start at the bottom, and draw an elongated, upside down teardrop. Without lifting your pen, draw another one, then another. Most of the time I create enough to make a quarter circle. Once you have your blossom, draw a dot over the point.
Vary the appearance by changing the width of the teardrops. Fat ones mean fewer petals; narrow ones make room for more petals.
Have fun!
