Bangalore - November 30, 2013

THE HANDMADE COLLECTIVE, was a 4-day sponsored, exhibition organized by A Hundred Hands. There were stalls with many interesting exhibits ... embossed metal work, re-used and re-cycled paper products, ceramic pots for plants, an NGO raising funds selling small solar products, and as always a host of food stalls.

What got my attention was a stall manned by a smiling face and lots and lots of unusual patterns that were obviously hand-drawn, going by the name of Zentangle. It was artwork. The brochure mentioned meditation, and I was hooked. (I've been looking to music, art and cycling to help me during those moments that I lose control of my temper!) Off late, I've become a student of human behaviour, and this art seemed like it could have its uses in that realm.

Next step, follow-up with Mr. Dilip Patel for more information and how to get into this new art form.
