Thanks for the reminder CC! (Although I’m a little perturbed at an EDITOR’s use of “art principals” – say what?!)
Just wanted to mention I just bought Kass Hall’s New book (Zentangle untangled Inspiration and Prompts for Meditative Drawing and think it is a Wonderful addition to any and all other Zentangle Books you may or may not own. It’s 128 pages of great informative information for New or old Tangler’s…….Love It…..

I was so thrilled to read this wonderful book when I received it.Kass has a lovely relaxed style about everything she writes and does.Must be the Aussie in her.Now I will certainly upset some people about one subject about Zentangles that appears very early in the book but I wholeheartedly agree with Kass and was so pleased to see it written for all to see.It refers to the ownership of tangles.Her views are so true.
It’s a great book and the way it opens one’s eye to various applications of tangling and the use of various materials other than the pen is fantastic.One of the best books I have in my collection and will be certainly well utilised.Buy it and see for yourself.
Cheers
Michelle
