Now that you have the Basics of Zentangle® down, and you have some tangles under your belt, let's delve into the concent of strings: what are they, why do we use them, and how can they help you in your practice.

In this course, you'll learn simple ideas for creating spontaneous strings, as well as some ideas for more planned strings. We'll work with the tangles you learned in the Introduction and Basics courses to build on the string concept.

These tiles are easy, fun, and will broaden your tangling. Grab the opportunity and slip into Strings!
