Zentangled Found Object

1. Choose an object that would be interesting to be zentangled. Think about form vs. function.

2. If your object is glass, I have glass paint.

3. If your object is fabric, a Sharpie marker should work on it, but there are also fabric markers available in the supply cupboard (they must say fabric markers).

4. If your object is plastic, we may have to gesso it (prime it). Test some Sharpie on it to see if it stays on without wiping off.

5. If your object is multi-colored, you want it to be one single color, so you’ll probably want to gesso it.

6. As you start to zentangle, think about how your object will change. Use the shape and contours of your object to their advantage as you draw your string and fill it with patterns.

7. The last step of a zentangle is to add value. Think about adding colored value and using stippling as your shading technique (especially if you are zentangling a glass object that a pencil cannot be used on).

8. We can spray objects with fixative spray when finished to ensure the zentangles stay on.
