I watched a very interesting video how it is beneficial for children.

I look forward to the journey with the aid of your offerings here.

My husband and I have some very good friends who live in the Netherlands very near Amsterdam in a small town called Wassenaar near The Hague. We have been there many times and have also been to the Rijksmuseum to see the amazing Night Watch painting too. I love to walk through the city and have always admired the architecture as well as the wonderful art in many places. Next time we go there, I will have a whole new perspective thanks to the amazing photos you took. Thanks for opening my eyes! Also wishing you and Rick and your wonderful extended family a very Happy New Year!

We saw a lot of similar sights and I will never forget it! Of course it helps that I took a bunch of pictures...We have a Zentangle club where I live. There are over 100 people! One of the other CZTs (there are 4 of us) donated an Opus tile for a drawing. Unfortunately, I did not win it. It wass the first one I had seen. Looks like it would be lots of fun to tangle on it! I love the fact that you are always coming out with new tangles and products. It keeps our interest piqued (as if we need any extra encouragement).

My tangling experience enriches my travels (or is it vice versa?). I see and photograph patterns everywhere now that can possibly be deconstructed into tangles (driving my husband a little nuts).

I so wish that Zentangle had been in my life at the time, but I still marveled at all the detail that I saw. I have pictures of lots of little details, still, on film and slides.
