    Simple and Easy December Daily Spreads – DIY December

    by Mahe Zehra December 19, 2019
    by Mahe Zehra December 19, 2019

I’ve also always loved playing with stickers. Ever since I was a little girl. Lately though I started noticing that there was less creating and more hoarding. I was finding it hard to use up

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”!

M. McCloughry

This is a wonderful book! I love botanical Zentangles so it is very useful to have a book that does such an excellent of illustrating the tangles. If you are looking for a way to way to do botanical tangles buy this book. It is an wonderful resource.
