In her book Zentangle 3, CZT® Suzanne McNeill suggests using simple rubber stamps as a design outline then drawing tangles to develop the image into Zentangle-inspired art.
In this video from July 2010, Suzanne demonstrates her fun and easy technique. She gives pointers on what to look for in the ideal rubber stamp for this purpose. Suzanne also gives a great tip on using tape to distinguish the pen you are currently using from your backups, so you don’t have a bunch going at the same time.
The patterns Suzanne demonstrates can be found in Zentangle 3

| "Absolutely the best Zentangle Book yet! As an accomplished artist I used to think I did not need instruction on this art form. How wrong I was! My tangling improved by leaps and bounds after reading this book. If you think you have Zentangle down then you need this book more than ever!" ~ Kris H | |

Hi Suzanne.. thank you so much for this video… I found Zentangle totally by accident and like most Zentanglists I was instantly hooked, so much so, that I am hoping to be certified this October! I am also a rubber stamp artist and teacher, and taught classes at The Ink Pad in NYC. Thank you again for the wonderful instructional videos and I have all your Zentangle books now! xo
