It is a beautiful and traditional time to set intentions for the year ahead.

The term ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art) was organically started to describe artworks that are not drawn on a Zentangle tile but still use the Zentangle Method in the creation of them. For instance a pair of shoes that are tangled, a large canvas covered with Zentangle art, a ceramic dish with a tangled border, a butterfly filled with tangles, a fox, a turtle, etc.

When people first discover the Zentangle Method, they sometimes ask about the “rules.” There is often a desire to do things correctly and they are seeking clarification.
