The Zen of tangling is not only a creative process, but one that assists in clearing your mind, relaxing and entering a meditative state.

Pick me! Pick me! I love the cover! It would be awesome to have another great Zentangle book to share with my special ed students! I have some of them hooked and they use it to relieve stress!
ReplyDeleteLOL, you are very sweet. Thanks for the comment. Special ed students are great. They need to relieve stress and what better way than to tangle! You are entered!
DeleteI have just started learning this skill and would love a book. I live in NW Connecticut. Do you teach classes in CT?
ReplyDeleteI haven't taught in CT, but I am not far from the CT state line. Where in CT are you? There may be an instructor closer to you than I am. Go to www.zentangle.com and look at the list of instructors to see. Zentangle is wonderful. Thanks for your comment. You are entered. You can email me privately at Artistry9@aol.com if you wish.
DeleteGood morning!
ReplyDeleteI discovered zentangle almost a year ago and was delighted to find that not only could I actually do it, but that in so doing, it shut up my chattering brain! I am always hungry for more and know I would be dancing with joy to receive a copy of your book! Thanks for all you do to help keep us all motivated!
You are entered. I'm so happy to hear you have found tangling to be meaningful in your life. It is the best artform I have ever used. I try to tangle daily for myself besides doing it as a job. It helps me unwind after a stress filled day. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm on vacation so I can't focus on whether I've already commented or not, but I would love to win!
ReplyDeleteVacations are ways of renewing our minds. BTW, you were a busy tangler while you were away. I've been watching for your daily tangles. Very nice!!
DeleteI'm a total newbie, having learned about Zentangle about five minutes ago on Gerry's "Torch Lake Views" Blog. Googled a bit and poof I found myself at your page. My busy, scattered mind, stopped for a second and I breathed and breathed. I was almost calm as I looked at the works produced by zentangling (is that a word?)
ReplyDeleteHere's where my search started: http://torchlakeviews.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/zentangled-in-cherry-trees-on-a-sunny-afternoon/
Wish me luck ! Thanks.
So, now you're as hooked on tangling as the rest of yes. LOL Welcome aboard!
DeleteHi Jeanne! I am Tina a CZT from Italy. I would like to partecipate in your giveaway. Is that possible?

You are now entered. Wonderful to see that tangling is in Italy. Keep me posted on your progress.
DeleteOoh! I'd love to have this book!
ReplyDeleteYou are entered. Thanks for commenting.
Deletethis book would be such a great addition to my little tangle world... there are no CZT's in my area so everything i'm learning is through the wonderful interwebs and tangle books....
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment and interest. I love tangling. Try to get some in everyday. Such a great way to renew ourselves.
DeleteI would love to have this book! I'm a fast addicted tangler and especially love it in the round! Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for entering. Tangling is sooooo addictive, but in such a good way. LOL
DeleteOoh! I'd love to win. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and good luck. I saw your quit behind you in the photo. Avid quilter, are you?
DeleteI would love a copy of your book. A great way to use the book to put my 2 favorite things together: tangles and mandala's!
ReplyDeleteI am so hooked on Mandalas. Wonderful to work in the round.
DeleteOoh congrats on the book! :D always love to expand my library... (heart)
ReplyDeleteLove your site. I enter the challenges whenever I can. My tangling library is growing as well. I am an avid collector. Good luck.
DeleteI have already done the tangles in circle or round shape. Hope your book will inspire me ever more :-) I hope I will be one of the winners. *Fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the drawing. I always enjoy winning stuff, even the smallest thing makes me happy. I think it is the idea of winning more than the prize itself. (Unless is was the lottery, of course) LOL
Deleteoh, what fun! looks like a lovely book to add to my library!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a pretty neat book, but then, I would, right? LOL Good luck.
DeleteI'd love to win this book!
ReplyDeleteYou're entered, so good luck. I am interested in finding out who will win as well.
DeleteOoh! My kids and I are new to tangling. We are having so much fun doing this together. To win this book would make our day!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you and your children are enthralled by this art form. It is wonderful and so "good for you", but don't say that to your kids. LOL
DeleteI would love to win this book....please pick me = )
ReplyDeleteSweet. Good luck with the entry.
DeleteI'd love to win this book, had a rough day and need some Zentangling with a big Z.
ReplyDeleteThank you for entering. I always use tangling as a way to destress and unwind. I liked your blog site even though I don't speak the language. Very nice.
DeleteI'm another new Zentangler (started last Nov.), and spend many contented (and a few frustrated) hours each week practicing and trying new tangles. I'm getting my husband to do some too, and am trying some friends with a bit less success (so far) :) It doesn't look like your book is available in Canada, and not even on Amazon.com.... so please, please add my name for your draw! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. My motto is "There are no mistakes, only Opportunities" so when I have an OOPS! moment in a tangle (or any artwork) I just incorporate it into the drawing. I know the truth, but others never do. My books aren't available in CA or the UK on Amazon, but they are available on my website. www.decorativeartistry.us I am always running contests of sorts as well. Good luck and keep tangling.
DeleteOmgosh, thanks for the chance to win your book! I love to zentangle but I'm still a newbie and would love to learn new techniques and tangles!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. You are entered and I can't wait to see who wins these books.
DeleteSo excited for a chance to win - somehow I missed that this book was available! LOVE getting ideas from the artistry and creative soul of others. Thank you for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love your studio. Very cool! Thanks for commenting.
DeleteOh your book looks wonderful! I would love to win it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. You are entered and I'm excited at the interest this contest has gotten. Good luck. I usually run a contest every month, should you be interested or want to pass the news along.
DeleteCongratulations on the book! What a generous giveaway, I would love to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteThank you. You are entered and the countdown is on.
DeleteOh, I hope I'm a lucky winner--I'm a newbie and need all the input I can get. Thanks for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. Thanks for entering. You can view my other books at www.decorativeartistry.us and they are listed on Amazon (US) as well. Tangling is such fun. I was hooked from the get-go! ;>D
DeleteThanks for giving away your books. What a nice valentines gift. Thanks for the chance. I'm just getting my feet wet with Zentangle. I really wish I had more time to dedicate to it.
ReplyDeleteI am such a tangling fool that I tangle anywhere and everywhere I can. While in a waiting room, before and after meetings, sitting in a traffic jam...you get the idea. :>D I was hooked from the start and now try to tangle daily. Thanks for entering.
DeleteThis is such a nice give a way. Although I haven't done too much with Zentangles yet, tangling in the round really catches my attention. Thanks for the opportunity to have a chance at winning one of your books. Linda E.
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. Thanks for entering. I try to host a giveaway every month here or on my website www.decorativeartistry.us
DeleteI have been in love {addicted} to zentangling for 2 years now and would love a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteYou are entered and thank you for commenting. I was taken with this artform from the first moment I saw it. Best thing that ever happened to me. I usually run contests every month either here or at my website www.decorativeartistry.us I enjoy sharing.
DeleteLike others I would love to win your book. Tangling in the round means like zendala's? I do want to learn more of that!
ReplyDeleteI want to do the CZT-training in August to learn and pass on tangling.
greetings from Gouda, the Netherlands, Arja
Thank you for entering. The Netherlands, huh? I am so happy you shared that location with me. Nice to know we are worldwide in our tangling efforts. If you come to New England in August, contact me and maybe we can meet. Rick and Maria usually host the program about 18 miles from where I live. Good luck.
DeleteI'm new to zentangle as well and would love to win your book, esp as I dont have a CZT anywhere near where I live.
ReplyDeleteSo, you are from Scotland? Lovely. My father's family are from the Cameron clan that relocated to Nova Scotia from Scotland. Thank you for entering and good luck. I like your blogs, especially a Wee Bit of Blethering.
DeleteI'd love to win the book. THanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThank you for entering, Teri. Good luck.
DeleteI, too, would love to win this book. Zendalas fascinate me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments. I appreciate your interest, Barb.
Deleteit looks beautiful! I've never been able to meditate the 'correct' (ha) way - but tangling is my wonderful alternative!
ReplyDeleteMe either. Zentangle fits the bill and is exactly what I needed. Sometimes I get so relaxed I could fall asleep. Thanks for entering.
DeleteI'd be happy to win a copy just like all the ladies..... tangling is such a great way to "mediate" and create gorgeous artwork at the same time...
ReplyDeleteThere is much to be said about the health benefits of tangling daily. I know it has worked for me and my friends. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteI just started doing tangles this year and I'd be thrilled if my name was picked for your lovely book. Thank you for being so generous!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome, Lora. I think sharing tangling would be the best way to bring about world peace, but alas, that will probably never happen. In the meantime, we can use it to our own advantage and relax. LOL I was hooked on tangling from the moment I saw it. Good luck and keep going. I usually host giveaways every month either here or on my website, so check in soemtimes. www.decorativeartistry.us
DeleteI wanna be picked too! Can you just pick all of us?
ReplyDeleteIf that were only possible, I would be happy to do so. LOL! Thanks for entering.
DeleteBeautiful book would love to learn from !!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynne. Good luck with the drawing.
DeleteHi Jeanne, I would love to win this book. Your work has always inspired me. Linda
ReplyDeleteLovely heart site, Linda. Have fun in Plymouth. I won't be able to attend. The last get-together was wonderful. Good luck with this drawing and thanks for commenting and the compliment.
DeleteWhat a sweet giveaway. I love tangling and your book is fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting and for the compliment. Good luck.
DeleteI would sure love to win this book! My Zentangle book collection is growing, but it is still small. Thank you so much for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting and entering. I love my tangling books collection. They always inspire me.
DeleteVery generous of you. This looks like a fun book that would fit in nicely with the others that I show to my Zentangle class students. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAnother of my fellow CZT's shows my books in her classes, too. Thank you so much for sharing that. I appreciate your comment and wish you luck with this drawing and your tangling classes. My other books are on my website www.decorativeartistry.us should you be interested. They are on amazon as well.
DeleteHow generous of you to be giving away copies of your book. I would love to have a copy to help restart my creative processes.
ReplyDeleteI think what I love most about tangling is the fact that just putting the pen and pencil to the paper get my juices flowing. Good luck and thanks for entering.
DeleteI enjoyed meeting you last month at the NE CZT gathering. Would also love the book!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. It was a pleasure meeting you as well. Good luck and keep tangling.
DeleteI was triggered by the title. I draw mandala's and instead of colouring them I zentangle them. So for me a journey in the round!! So what in the inside...?? I hope to explore !
ReplyDeleteYour blog site is wonderful. Great artwork. Thank you for entering and for your comments.
DeleteI would love to be entered in your give away. I use Zentangling for meditation, even if it just a few minutes, it gives me a chance to recharge, so I am very curious about your book.
ReplyDeleteAll of my books are workbooks with space to put your own tangles and comments. For me, tangling is the best thing I could imagine ever when it comes time to meditate and relax. It renews my mind and body, sort of like Yoga, but without the work. LOL Thanks for the comment and for entering.
DeleteI'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that uses the Zentangling in their job. I work as a counselor and use this as a meditation technique with some of my clients.
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I am working with some cancer survivors who are recharging their bodies and minds. For me, there is no better way to do that than to tangle daily. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteI would love the win your book!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting. I loke your site and took a stroll through to see where it would lead. Very cool!
DeleteAll of my Zentangle workbooks can be found on Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/6wwrso7
ReplyDeleteor at www.decorativeartistry.us
I just came across zentangling and love it. I would love to win your book! Good luck to me :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for having this great giveaway...I would love to win your book!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one of your books! I am new to Zentangle (only about 2 weeks) but am totally hooked! As is my daughter and 7 year old granddaughter who insisted on having her own journal and pens! She tangles every morning now before school and is getting quite good at it!!! The flower shapes and hearts are her favorite right now. I have a few tangles on my blog: CarriesMachinations.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYou know, after reading why some others want your book, I almost feel guilty entering. LOL! I just like to collect ZT books and play with them. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful ZENTANGLED webs you weave, I want to try. Is it like life as a spider- thinking of a favorite book Charlotte's Web. Charlotte was a relaxed, kind and intelligent spider. Just spinning a softly spun web
