Lots of inspiration!
If you love Zentangle, if you love botanicals, if you love general pen and ink inspiration for drawing, then this book should be on your table. Lots of ideas, carefully organized, clearly made with care.

What a refreshing book on Zentangles! I love the use of color in the tangles, the art dolls and all the sample forms she offers us to fill with Zentangles. Glad to see she gives full credit to the originators of Zentangles and encourages us to buy materials from them. This book has me itching to try my hand at “tangling”!
