many thanks, I am Malka and thoroughly enjoyed your presentation for Yehudit. I too celebrate Chanukah and love the Star of David Zendala. Will find a Zendala and get started.
Found your site this a.m. so much appreciate your comments re perfection, thanks a million. Also your choice of music...is so perfect......Zentangle is quickly becoming “meditation” practice......I as well am a Senior Lady......and looking for Mindfulness practices.....be safe..
Thanks for watching. I'm very happy that you found my channel. Zentangle is the best meditation for me when I let go of worrying about what I draw. I hope you continue to use it as part of your mindfulness practice.
I just watched your video from beginning to end. It is very relaxing, as always. I enjoy the music in the background, and your voice is so soothing. I also don't like coloring for the same reason, that is why I just got myself some watercolors to color the card (I use 4x6 Index cards) and then draw over it. It's a good idea. I watch this video again tonight and draw with you! Thank you Barbara! Happy Holidays! :)
Beautiful Barbara, love your background music too 🎶. My tip Micron 01 pens do not last, think im putting too much pressure on them when i draw, any tips to make them last? Thanks
Hi Helen. Many people have the same problem with the 01 fine tip. I love the fine line, but it can be easily bent or pushed into the barrel. In the past, I have heard Rick Roberts advice to imagine you’re holding a little robins egg in your hand while you’re drawing. You just have to be mindful of how hard you’re pushing on your pen. I prefer the Micron PN because it is a plastic nib and usually lasts longer. You just don’t get a very fine line.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you liked it. I've tried before and this is the first time it finally worked. I'm still fairly new at making and editing videos.
I have to constantly remind myself! That's one of the reasons I named my channel Not Perfect Zen. :) My dog is a little over 2 years old now and she's a bundle of energy!
Hi Martha - there are so many things that you can do with the black tiles, but you'll need to have a white GellyRoll pen or something like the Moonlight GellyRoll pens. There are other brands of white gel pens you can use, but these are what I have. Zentangle has lots of videos on their UA-cam channel that demonstrate what you can do with the black tiles. Are you familiar with the Project Packs? Check out this list of videos for Project Packs at the Tangle Patterns website: tanglepatterns.com/zentangles/zentangle-project-packs November 2017 (Project Pack 1) is all about black tiles. August 2019 (Project Pack 6) has good ideas March 2020 (Project Pack 8) is all about GellyRoll pens. Also, Zentangle has an app for mobile phones called Mosaic and you can search for great examples. I hope this helps, and hope I didn't overwhelm you! :)
Thanks Barbara, for that info....anything one doesn’t know these days...your right, just look it up...don’t ask...lo....you’ve made my day today.....love your work.
I love that you added music. It’s not loud and very relaxing.
Thanks. I tried it a few times, then decided to stop. There are some people who get too distracted by background music.
Love it!!!
Thank you, Kim!
Beautiful star with simple tangles.
Barbara you're awesome.
Wow, thank you so much, Josephine! 🤗 I love reading your comments. They are awesome inspiration for me to share my videos.

Thank you Malka. I'm glad that you enjoyed the Star of David Zendala. You can also do this on any paper. I hope you enjoy it. :)
Music is set just right. Really like the flute. This is one of my favorite art piece.
Thank you so much! I'm happy that you liked the video and happy that I finally got my music to work!

Yours looks better than mine, I made small triangles in thr triangles
I'm sure that yours looks fine and it is fun to do something different to the patterns. Thanks for watching! :)
Lol I'm definitely a recovering perfectionist, too 😅❤
I grew up with a staffy...pitbull whatever lol He was amazing 🥰❤ I want another one someday

Someone gave me an entire package of black tiles (300 gsm black card stock...). What to do with it?
