Reviews
Book has 20 pages including front & back cover and is a skimpy book even for that many pages. The author's Zenspiration book was much more complete & had many more examples. I don't know whether incorporating dangle patterns is more difficult or that dangles are somewhat limiting but something limited this book. I like the delicacy of the dangle designs so I was hoping for more than this book furnished.Here's the rundown - Page 1 is the front cover showing a completed Zendangle design; Page 2 - Welcome from the author & copyright info with one small completed dangle design; Pg 3 - Contents & basic material list showing drawing pad, watercolor box & list of Micron Pens with dangle design across the top; Pg 4 - "Anatomy of a dangle" showing a numbered diagram of a completed design; Pg 5 - numbered definitions & small design elements explained for terminology used in book; Pg 6 - "Dangle Construction" - explanation & examples of 4 steps to create a dangle; Pg 7 - "Dangle Styles" shows 3 examples of completed styles and small inset box with Tips & Tricks; Pg 8 - examples of dangle columns & small angel design; Pg 9 - Circular Dangle - Step breakdown of 3 circle designs; Pg 10 - Sock Dangle - Explanation and design steps for design showing wider dangles and small embellishment examples; Pg 11 - 4 Step design completed showing pattern and column with Step 5 completed color design; Pg 12 - discusses putting dangles into your drawings with 3 examples of houses, 1 of an angel; Pg 13 - examples of 4 birds and 3 bird houses with dangle designs; Pg 14 - examples of fish and jellyfish including dangle designs; Pg 15 - examples of 6 hearts completed with dangle designs; Pg 16 & 17 Monogram Letters completed with dangles - letters are same format (font) as Zenspiration font; Pg 18 shows an clock decorated in the Zendangle pattern with materials list; Pg 19 - an example of wall decorated in a pattern with steps for completion & Artist Information; Page 20 - back cover - advertisement for other tangling books.
