zentangle®<br />
The world of Zentangle® is evolving, growing and<br />
expanding. These intriguing patterns all begin with<br />
simple lines; the spaces are filled in, one step at a<br />
time. There are no mistakes, only opportunities.<br />
Every tangle becomes more attractive and complex<br />
as areas are filled. Like life, the designs develop into<br />
something unique and beautiful as they grow. Any<br />
image with open spaces provides a perfect canvas<br />
for “Zentangling.” Rubber stamps with outline<br />
images provide the perfect starting point for both<br />
skilled artists and those who think they can’t draw.<br />
These versatile graphics can be used to decorate any<br />
surface.<br />
Calligraphers and graphic artists find tangling<br />
particularly appealing. It is a relaxing and expressive<br />
art form. It is guided doodling using texture and<br />
pattern and is meditative. It will help you learn to<br />
focus, relax your mind, and can boost your creative<br />
confidence. But beware – this is highly addictive fun.<br />
3.5”x3.5” squares of art paper provide the surface.<br />
Artist Trading Card blanks work too. Pigma Micron<br />
pens make drawing the tangles simple and permanent,<br />
but other fine line pens or a pencil can be<br />
used. Supplies are listed after the books.<br />
New to this art form? Zentangle 2, Zentangle 3<br />
and AlphaTangle each have the basic instruction<br />
you need to get started. All the books on this page<br />
are by Certified Zentangle Teachers, though the<br />
books and supplies are not from Zentangle, Inc.<br />
Zentangle is a registered trademark of Zentangle,<br />
Inc. The Zentangle art form and method was created<br />
by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.<br />
