USA only swap, to keep postage manageable. Feel free to host an International version!

Zentangle, or Tangling, is a drawing form of meditation in which one focuses attention on the one line being drawn right then. It is always fun, and there is no such thing as a mistake. Beginning tanglers are welcome, as are more experienced tanglers. This will be a series of swaps.

For this swap, you will make a Deco book of at least six (6) pages. the book should be large enough to draw a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" tangle on each page, with a bit of room left for signature and contact information. My books are 4" x 4 1/2 " You can start making your books now. Pages can be stapled, sewn, tied with string or yarn.
I make mine by cutting 9x12 paper into 4" x 9" strips, folding three over, making three little holes along the fold, and tying with string or whatever is convenient.
For more information on making deco books try: http://www.ehow.com/how7458496make-deco-book.html

Then, do a Tangle of standard size, 3 1/2" x 3 1/2", on the front. Put your name, address and swap-bot name on it, so the last person to tangle in it can return it to you. Use as many or as few patterns as you like. It's your space. I will do mine in black and white with a bit of shading. Shade or not, color or not, it's up to you!

It has been requested that once you receive the Zentangle Deco in the mail, you send a message to the originator, saying you have it. This is requested for each round, please.

If this is completely new to you, tanglepatterns.com and zentangle.com are great sources. There are some really wonderful books available, if you want to start learning. Try your library.

PLEASE don't join if you can't complete the swap. If life happens and you are late, please notify your assigned partner and me! I will angel if need be. I hope nobody makes that necessary.

I am going to allow Zentangle 'newbies'. You will still need to have been rated for at least 5 swaps, either Type 2 and/or Type 3

You must have a filled out profile. I will be looking at each one. Minimum rating will be 4.95 I will remove anyone from the swap who has unresolved 1s, or 3s. If you don't meet the swap requirements, message me and perhaps we can do a private swap.

Once everyone has marked SENT, I will post another round.
