Take-Along-Tangles ... A Zentangle Workbook and Colouring Book

My new book - Take-Along Tangles is full of 104 pages of completed tangle drawings, partial drawings and string lines for you to colour and draw.   It also includes a 32 page instruction booklet that has 44 tangle patterns with step outs to show you how to draw them.  All packaged in a little size of 6.2 x 1 x 6.2 inches.

You could use it like a calendar or journal and do two pages a week if you wanted to.

Tangled Fantasies Released Soon

Tangled Fantasies is my next book due for release 15 June 2016 ... in time for my 50th birthday ... I am so looking forward to this one and seeing all the amazing colouring pages that you all do.   I love how different each person makes the illustrations.

Today I have released a sneak peek colouring in page from this book for members of my colouring in Facebook group.   You can join in the fun at Tangled Coloring In Books by Jane Monk.

Tangled Treasures Coloring Book is in the house !

Tangled Treasures Coloring In book is in the house ... my house that is.

It feels very nice to hold this book in my hands.  A book that has taken many many months of thought, planning and illustrating. Not to mention the work of putting it together by the wonderful team over at CPI (Creative Publishing international and Quarto Publishing Group USA).

Mostly I will draw the cover illustration first and parts of that image will filter down through the pages like magic.    I love my first colouring book.  

For those that want to know a little about it:   Each illustration is printed on one side of the page only.  The paper is a nice heavyweight white paper that will work quite nicely with some water if you use water colour pencils.  Each illustration has a perforation to allow for easy removal from the book.     I have included some basic colour theory and information on colour techniques.  At the back I have provided two illustrations for you to try out your own colour combinations and pages for you to try out the techniques.   Here is a little sneak peek inside the covers:

The illustrations are influenced by my own drawing style and the highly popular Zentangle style (of course I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher as well).   I have included some more open illustrations as well as some that are more complex in size and density.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed creating it.

You can purchase it through online bookstores and I believe it will be in great bookstores in August.
