AUGUST: Zentangle Sampler Swap #2

@ladystephanie had a great swap idea, which we made into a slightly different version and offered publicly, and now I am adapting it again for this group.

Create a zentangle sampler... drawn area should be a 3.5 inch square, divided into 9 sections so it looks like quilt squares (or divide it up another way, as long as you retain nine different design sections, if it suits your zentangling style more effectively!) Please leave at least a 1/2 inch border all the way around (making it 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches) and attach to, or print on, a firm backing. Doesn't need to be overly thick, but something like cardstock as opposed to computer paper. The samples pictured do NOT have the 1/2 inch borders showing (sorry for the confusion!)

Fill each of the 9 sections with a different zentangle design. Make three copies of your sampler. The stiffer paper will give it a longer life, and the border will allow your partner to attach their fill samplers together in whatever manner they choose.

Send one zentangle sampler to each of three partners. (Keep the original for yourself) You will receive 3 different samplers, which you can then use to start your own zentangle sampler pattern book! You can holepunch, and store on a metal ring, put them straight into a folder, or start a zentangle moleskine... you decide what your sampler storage will look like.

We will do another round or two of samplers to try to build up own sampler books.

All of the group requirements regarding 1's, 3's, etc, apply here as well.
