If you have a hard time choosing tangle patterns for your Zentangle® project, let the universe decide. Eni Oken's Art Raffle is based on her successful "Bijou Raffle" lesson: pull out random cards with tangle patterns and art enhancers to inspire you to create Zentangle® like you never have done before. In this beautifully elegant digital version, you can select up to 8 different cards, randomly selected from a collection curated and prepared by Eni herself. You can save different raffle selections and even search to easily find your favorite cards. LEARN SO MUCH MORE WITH EACH CARD But that's just the beginning, this digital version does so much more than the traditional game. The BACK OF EACH CARD contains a wealth of information about the tangle or art enhancer: step-outs, descriptions, links to samples and lessons. The game is so soothing and addictive you'll find yourself perusing the cards randomly just to learn more about each card! ELEGANT GESTURAL COMMANDS The game is made to behave as closely to the real raffle game as possible. Gestures such as flicking, tapping and zooming in make this game super fun to play. You can even move the cards around! SAVE RAFFLE GAMES You can save raffle games for later and create as many raffles as you like. Rename and edit the raffle games, discard cards or add different ones. MORE CARDS COMING This introductory version comes with a starter pack of tangle patterns, art enhancer prompts and strings. This is just the beginning, more cards are coming soon! YES, IT'S ENTIRELY FREE The Zentangle world has quite literally saved Eni's life after battling stage 4 cancer. Today she is a CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) and teaches hundreds of students through video lessons and live online classes via her Art Club. This app, which took many months to develop, is Eni's profound and sincere THANK YOU gift to this loving and nurturing artistic community! Wishing you a happy Art Raffle!
