People say that beauty lies within the eyes of the beholder. It is so true, and in the case of tangling, we have noticed that many people experience an increased awareness of the beauty around them. It is as if the practice has shifted their perspective and opened windows to something more and they are able to see some beauty in almost everything around them.
Bijou agreed with us but added that there is even more to it than that. He believes that every Zentangle artist is constantly adding beauty to the world. So there actually is more and more beauty added to our worlds every minute of every day. He explains that it is not the tangle by itself where we find beauty. It is what the artist has done with it that we are so drawn to. Bijou loves to share his adaptation of a famous quote by chef Thomas Keller to describe this phenomenon, “A tangle has no soul. You, as the artist, must bring soul to the tangle.” In other words, it is the artist that makes each Zentangle tile Beautiful and Beyond.
Enjoy!
Be well, be you,
Bijou
