This April, I’m participating in the April A to Z Blogging Challenge with a creative twist -learning and sharing Zentangle patterns! Each day, I’ll explore a new pattern, uncovering its beauty and include it in my zentangle inspired artwork. At the end of the challenge, I hope to have a completed artwork with all the patterns I learned in this challenge. Join me on this artistic journey as I embrace mindfulness, creativity, and the joy of tangling!
Day 24 of the challenge – X for Xircus
Xircus is an easy and fun tangle pattern that involves repeating lines to form a unique pattern. Here’s a quick tutorial on how I learned to draw the pattern.

Here’s the zentangle inspired artwork with patterns from A to X.
