Simple and fun little doodles to play with.

When I think a tangle a day I think a different tangle a day or a tangle a week with different applications. This book did the latter but it was the same applications. Learn a tangle, use it as a border, use it in letters, use it in shapes, then use it in zendalas. Learn a new tangle but again use it as a border, letter, shape, and zendala. It seemed limiting for something that can be so diverse. Maybe if there were more string varieties and not a set procession it would have been more interesting to me. I got bored and I didn’t care for most of the tangles in the book.

it was just meh. I've found better resources on Pinterest. (meaning ok to check out as a library book, but not worth purchasing)

No

Not impressed. This is clearly just to make some money. Very basic. I wish I could have looked at this in more detail before clicking buy on Kindle.

Great set!!! Look for other book

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is truly a workbook. A good book for the Tangler's library but not for beginners.

[Felyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lot of tangle patterns, and lots of ways to use them! Kass Hall introduces a tangle pattern and walks you through it, then shows you different ways to use that same pattern in borders, with colour, inside shapes, and more. Definitely recommended for anyone looking to move beyond the basics of Zentangle practice.

Not for beginners

May be good practice for those already familiar with Zentangles, but not for this of us who have never done it before. More of a "practice what you already know" kind of workbook. It wasn't what I was expecting.

Okay, good border ideas, not good for library purchase since it includes spaces to tangle inside the book

Good fun.
