Zentangle Dream Word Surrounded by Detailed Patterns

The word DREAM sits near the middle of this busy zentangle drawing, with each block letter filled in with small patterns. Above it, paisley shapes and round circles loop together, packed with dots, scales, swirls and diamond checks. The upper left corner has layers of scalloped arcs, and thin hanging strings with beads and little diamonds drop beside rows of wavy lines. The bottom half is split into sections. On the left are rolling hills of stripes, ovals and zigzag triangles. On the right are diagonal bands of basket weave, crosshatching and braided designs. This free printable page suits older kids, teens and adults who like fine detail. Try coloring each pattern block in its own small color family, such as cool blues in the weave and warm tones in the paisley, so the letters of DREAM still stand out. Fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils work best.
