Doodle or Zentangle what ever you want to call it


Took a class we called Zentangle/doodling think the Z  name is probably copyrighted and can only be used by an official CTZ teacher. The class was at our local scrapbook shop and had a great time, since then I have spent at least 3 nights or more a week doodling or Z-ing a couple of hours each night. Usually working on an 8x11 pad of paper, using Microns or Faber Castell PITT Artist pens in black all different nibs, working on a ceramics piece was a new challenge.  I have been wanting to do  for awhile seen several pics on of a similar idea of this on a ceramic piece on Pinterest of course. So found this soap dispenser at the Dollar Store it cost a $1.00!! Thought about a plate a bowl and nothing spoke to me as something I really needed, not that I needed the soap dispenser, but it was probably the most useful thing I could think of that the black on white would work well, had seen the white Mustang some guy had done with regular sharpies looked really cool, but  first I did not have 30 thousand to chunk down on a car and did not want to devote 80 hours to drawing on the car.   It took about hour and half,  was trying to think of what to do on it as I went and working on a sealed surface makes the product dry a slow so I thought it really drying quicker than I thought.  It is an oil base pen marker from Sharpie who would have thunk!  So here the piece  both sides excuse the sun spot took it with my cell phone.  The dispenser is completely covered all around except the bottom had fun may do another, but get some colored ones for next adventure.  Think a dash of yellow maybe a sun with flairs coming off of it, boy that opens another can of worms.  Better than fishing!!
