Authors Suzanne McNeill and Cindy Shepard are Certified Zentangle Teachers who have compiled an impressive collection of Zentangle-inspired masterpieces. In this book titled The Beauty of Zentangle: Inspirational Examples from 137 Tangle Artists Worldwide, the art is truly incredible. This collection includes works of art from all over the world and across and variety of mediums.

Each page of this book features an image of the Zentangle masterpiece, the artist's name, and a quote from the artist about Zentangle as an art form. The artists tend to talk about what Zentangle means to them personally. One beautiful quote comes from artist Cindy Fahs, who says, "For me personally, the Zentangle method is all about relaxing and prayer---the finished piece is just an added bonus" (page 46). Other artists talk about where they specifically use tangling, such as in their journaling or origami projects. The variety of projects and the quotes about Zentangle are truly incredible. Zentangle has so many diverse meanings to so many people that this text really shows just how universal Zentangle can be.
