Description
Two Christmas's ago (2013), I decided - since we were strapped for cash - as a Christmas present to my family, i'd make each of them (those who came to our house for Christmas lunch) their own personalized place mats. This one was for my Mother in law - who loves to do gardening and scrapbooking... I think i managed to get both in there.
The style I used was adapted from zentangles. Zentangles, if you've never heard of them before, is a style where you never plan what you draw, you just go for it. Almost always it ends up looking incredible. Or a big old mess. But either way its fun. I did 11 of these in the space of about 4 days. My hand was wrecked on Christmas day lol. But everyone loved it and my mother in law ended up laminating them which was a lovely gesture.
I can't say how long each took, but the materials i used was a cheap party place mat and a felt tipped pen. i used the place mat as a template for each one.
