The waiting is over, Gentle Readers.
Need a Valentine gift for someone special (yourself)? Treat them and yourself to the latest and greatest additions to our Zentangle® library!
Yoga for Your Brain: a Zentangle Workout
, Sandy Steen Bartholomew’s sequel to her much loved Totally Tangled
, is now available for pre-order on Amazon and will begin shipping very soon.
“This much anticipated sequel to Totally Tangled is just as tangled. Inside, the pages are jam-packed with Zentangle ideas, tips, projects and more than 60 new tangles. Zentangle is the perfect exercise to keep that big muscle inside your skull flexible.”
Sandy notes that her latest book is not geared for newbies so if you’re new to Zentangle® we recommend you start with Totally Tangled. Why not order both?
And if that news isn’t amazing enough, here comes more.
Suzanne McNeill has just published her latest, Zentangle 4
, and it too is available for pre-order and shipping soon.
“Learn new ways to jazz up cards, scrapbook pages, art journals, and anything else you can lay your hands on. It’s all fun so get inspired and tangle something! Learn to color with chalks, watercolors, pencils and pens; add bling with glitter, jewels, and sparkly inks.” The cover shows the book contains 40 more tangles!

- "A Zentangle has no up or down and is not a picture of something, so you have no worries about whether you can draw a hand, or a duck. You always succeed in creating a Zentangle." Patterns that are drawings of a recognizable naturalistic or actual object, figure, or scene, are not tangles. A pattern is not always a tangle — here's what makes a tangle. TIP: tangles never start with pencil planning.

THE LONG wait is over! Thanks for giving us a heads up!
Whoo Hoo! Ordered both! Can’t wait!!!
Thanks Nancy – please visit the Book Reviews pages when you receive them and let us know how much you love them!
Wow! 2 at once. Just like Chistmas morning. I can’t wait!
Oh good…I was waiting for the second book so I could order both together.
I’m so excited! I just got off line with Amazon and ordered my two books. I knew Sandy was coming out with “Yoga for the Brain”, but it really surprised me that Suzanne was coming out with “Zentangle 4” Book. I’m collecting all books!
Thanks for the great news, Linda! You rock!
I just got into this about a month ago, love the books will be ordering these too!
Hi there!! I was wondering something..how do you come up with the names for your Zentangle’s?? I just ordered 4 books and impatiently waiting for them to arrive!! Thanks!
Hi Debbie, are you asking how people come up with pattern names, or how they name a Zentangle? Personally, I don’t name my Zentangles, I just date them. There are lots of patterns in all the books, so you’ll have plenty of fun when you get them.
Hi Linda!!
Yes for both…pattern names and/or how they name a Zentangle. Hmmm dating them might be a whole lot easier to remember! Thanks!!! 🙂
