This book may change your life. Zentangle is
the newest craze to hit the crafting world. This easy-to-learn,
relaxing, and fun illustration technique is a great way to create
beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It's easy to
learn and, after doing a few Zentangle pieces, you'll begin to
notice the world around you in a different way-it will seem
brighter, more colorful, more in focus. You'll also master
illustration techniques that you never thought possible.
Traditional Zentangle designs are done in black ink on a white
square tile of paper. A simple pattern can be broken down into
several small sections and each section contains a different
doodle or illustration. There is no right or wrong when creating
a Zentangle design, just relax and let yourself go! There are
also several ways to use Zentangle, as outlined in Joy of
Zentangle. You could use it to decorate your home, create
beautiful backgrounds for scrapbooks and cards, or simply
decorate a margin of a business memo as you sit in your morning
meeting. Joy of Zentangle makes jumping into this addicting
illustration technique easy and fun. With step-by-step full color
photographs and detailed written instructions, this is a great
guide for those who are new to or curious to learn more about
this addicting hobby. Reviewed by Melissa Conner
