    Making a Mini Book Using a Sheet of Paper

    by Mahe Zehra June 9, 2018

    First of all, I apologize for the two week disappearance. I had some personal/work things to take care of (more details will follow). I’m back now with a fun mini book I made using one sheet of scrapbook paper. I also brought out all my paper scraps, leftover embellishments and

    How to Use Coloring Pages in Craft Projects

    by Mahe Zehra May 22, 2018
    by Mahe Zehra May 22, 2018

    I’m a huge fan of any kind of activity book. So when the coloring book craze hit I got swept up in it too. My only regret was that the beautiful pages were left inside a book and there was no way to share them with family and friends. So I came up with a few ideas on how to use

    Here I am with another acrylic skins project and gift idea. I am so in love with the skin that was left over from my paint pours recently. I’ve already turned part of it into a little book and now am going to play with the rest and create some fun pendants. The reason I make these videos is to share the exact process and everything that happens when I…

    What can you make with Acrylic Skins?!

    by Mahe Zehra May 12, 2018
    by Mahe Zehra May 12, 2018

    The simple answer is – A LOT! Acrylic skins are so versatile and durable! In the last episode of Elevenses with MZ I showed you how to do some basic acrylic paint pours. While we were creating all that colorful magic, a lot of the acrylic paint was dripping off the canvas and onto the plastic trays I was using. The paint was behaving the same way as it was…

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”!

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.
