Sorry... A bit skeptical about taking the class, but after just one class, I am intrigued! Love the whole approach and think this goes far beyond anything I would have done my own. Love it! Wonderful thing to put out there, thanks, Maria and Rick.

I'm new to ZenTangle and I am loving it. Taking a class with a CZT - Dawn M. Yes, I used to create similar images like this 'out of my brain', and was a bit skeptical

This is something new? We used to spend hours doing these back in the 60s with plain old technical pens. No training required. We actually just did it out of our heads! Wow, this new generation sure is helpless without training and expensive tools isn't it?

I've been doing Zentangle for about a month & I love it. At first I just watch & coped what I saw all of you do. Now I've gotten 7 books & kits & am having so much fun. Time goes by so fast & so much fun to learn a new pattern. I love this one. It's easy, too. Thank U.....

[Kaitlyn Eves]
