Zendoodle-Zentangle

I have been teaching myself to do some pen and paper doodling.  This technique is called zendoodle or zentangle.  I haven't doodled anything to complicated yet, but this is the result of my first attempts.

This is very simple to do.  If you would like to try just search Youtube for "zentangles"
