Her website honors the originators of Zentangle and also provides a service to newbies and old hands. Zentangle has improved my memory, focus and concentration. Since I was not in a position to take a class, I ordered the beginner kit and then depended on Linda's site to help me develop my skills. I will be forever grateful to her and plan to be a CZT soon.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040556032571164434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-12316872847906187472012-02-13T18:49:27.093-05:002012-02-13T18:49:27.093-05:00What great information.

All this after having "discovered" Zentangles in an issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors. <br /><br />I'm a self-taught tangler. Love, and am constantly amazed at, the beauty that comes from doing repetitive motions. Doing Zentangles has allowed me to branch out into other art forms. Would love to become a CZT, but thus far haven't managed to save the dollars for it. Think I'll sign up for your blog. Again, thanks for the interview.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800662004605408982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-43718256431634079942012-02-13T17:14:05.685-05:002012-02-13T17:14:05.685-05:00Thank you so much for the interview with Linda Far...Thank you so much for the interview with Linda Farmer. I came across her website about 8 months ago and have been tangling ever since. Her site is so informative and inspiring. I didn't know she loves mystery stories though. So do I! And I read them all in order just like she does. Getting to know the people behind the blog is great. <br />There are not any CZT's here in my state in Australia, so I rely on the www to get information. I haven't been able to find any books here either yet, but will keep looking.<br />MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-75170166254814650352012-02-13T17:00:48.576-05:002012-02-13T17:00:48.576-05:00With delight I sat next to Linda at the Certified ...With delight I sat next to Linda at the Certified Zentangle Teacher Seminar in Providence.
