ICSO A short, voice-guided prompt session using the Zentangle method of ICSO to warm up the fundamental strokes that build tangles. You’ll move through simple marks—dots, lines, curves, and orbs—then (optionally) add auras to create depth and direction. No perfection required; just one mark at a time. 🖊️ Tools: Pen, Paper. Graphite and blending stump are optional.

Figure Eight Flow | Audio-Only Zentangle® Class
In this voice-guided Zentangle® session, we draw the tangle “88s”, a flowing, figure-eight-based tangle by Sandra Strait. Using a donut-shaped string, we explore gentle repetition and rhythm in a way that invites focus and calm. The Drifting Pen is an audio-only Zentangle podcast for tanglers who enjoy drawing with quiet guidance — no video, no visuals, just pen and presence. 🎧 Made for tanglers, meditative drawers, and anyone who loves slowing down with ink and intention. 🖊️ Tools: tile or paper, pencil, and pen 🎨 Tangle by Sandra Strait (@life_imitates_doodles) *Disclaimer: The original name of this tangle, "88s," refers purely to its visual structure—looped shapes resembling the number 8. It has no connection to or endorsement of any hateful or extremist symbolism. I do not support or align with any form of hate speech, racism, or discrimination. This class is a safe, inclusive space for creativity and mindfulness.
