"One Zentangle A Day is a beautiful interactive book teaching the principles of Zentangles as well as offering fun, related drawing exercises. Zentangles are a new trend in the drawing and paper arts world. The concept was started by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas as a way to practice focus and meditation through drawing, by using repetitive lines, marks, circles, and shapes. Each mark is called a "tangle," and you combine various tangles into patterns to create "tiles" or small square drawings.

This is an interesting and helpful book introducing the intentional, meditative form of drawing called Zentangle. As a book, it's clear and helpful. Zentangle (perhaps I should(TM) this?) is way, way too focused on THE ONLY ONE TRUE WAY TO DO THINGS, the Official and Trained (meaning you pay to learn) way. (

Purchased this as a Christmas present and then decided to keep it for myself because it was just so beautiful. I've been tangling for a couple months now and this is the latest book to support my habit. I absolutely love the idea of one Zentangle a day. Highly recommend if you're looking for a starter book on tangling, that you start with this one. (

Looks like something I need to buy rather than borrow and practice. A book to expand on the basics rather than a starter book

This is an excellent "teaching" book for anyone that is interested in learning the art of "zentangles". Many patterns & ideas included. (

I really liked some of the ideas in this book for expanding on Zentangle inspired art. Borrowed from the library, but may purchase to have on hand as a resource. (
