Dynamic Dingbatz
Dingbats (with an “s”) have been used for centuries in typography to decorate book covers, to separate sections in a book or other document, to create visual interest, to frame text or large initials, to draw attention to a particular passage or quote, and much more. Dingbatz (with a “z”) are used in a similar way, and with great versatility. They’re fun to draw using familiar Zentangle techniques, and they can add a little magic to just about any surface.
