We designed this to be a high quality soft cover "coffee table" type book. It is approximately 6 x 9.5 inches (150 x 240 mm), 146 pages, full color offset printed.

Here's what CZT Meredith Yuhas has to say:

Rick and Maria are good company as they take you on a creative journey to a place of peace, empowerment, and unlimited potential through this introduction to the Zentangle Method.

Novices and artists alike will be drawn to this easy art form and appreciate the effectiveness of the Zentangle Method's mindfulness process.

The practice of Zentangle nurtures the soul and encourages life enhancing outcomes. It is a pastime, a life skill, and a simple metaphor for life in a complex and busy world.

If you can't sit on a pillow and meditate but you can hold a pen, the Zentangle art form is the process of relaxation for you. This book is the perfect starting point to learn this relaxing method of creating beautiful artwork or to expand on what you already know.

Whether for fun, focus, meditation, or therapy, this art form has something for everyone. I tangle myself, teach it to my clients, and tangle with my family and friends.
