This book is the perfect first book of Zentangle. I just want to encourage you to "date" your exercises and be sure to keep everything - even the ones you might consider "mistakes" - you will be amazed when you look back and see your progress. :-) And thank you for reading my books and blog.Sandy Steen Bartholomewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979547420298040620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436443386371586211.post-13195640216032535412012-10-23T16:22:20.490-04:002012-10-23T16:22:20.490-04:00I just received the book today.

I have been practicing different tangles for several months now, but I could not figure out how to combine them til I saw your exercise. I have been hesitant to spend the money on tiles, since my practice journal is not pretty, LOL.

You are correct - that aspect has been missing. But that's why I feel so confused by this book - the publisher is insisting that this is not a "new" book. And yet... it IS a new book. Your material alone changes it. What I think they should have done is just do a new book!

Most of those people have progressed in their style and skills and I asked if we could get newer art from them. The publisher said they would consider it for the reprint.

I received a letter recently from Fox Chapel informing me that "Zentangle material" of mine, in a previous Design Originals book, is included in this new Joy of Zentangle.
