Greetings!
As the holiday season approaches, Bijou is here to sprinkle a little wisdom, wonder, and whimsy into our celebrations. With his new Bijouisms as our guide, join us as we Deck the Hallz and explore ways to create, give, celebrate, and appreciate all the magic this time of year has to offer. Let us tangle together and let Bijou’s gentle reminders help us slow down, savor the season, and fill our days with creativity and joy.
In this newsletter, you will find new additions to the Zentangle store. Let Bijou help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list (and maybe something for you!).
Enjoy!

From the very beginning, the Zentangle Method presents us with subtle parameters that invite the creative process. By creating a structure to work around, we are more apt to be inspired to do the work. We are responsive beings and we thrive off of challenges... even if they are simple challenges.
We have carefully and thoughtfully created products to guide you on your Zentangle journey from the basics and beyond.

The Zentangle Method was founded in 2004 by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas and it is often said that Rick is Zen and Maria is Tangle. The 5th installment in the Legends of Zentangle series honors this union that would eventually become the Zentangle Method.
Inside you will find the Legend of Zen and Tangle and four legend cards, paired with Phi and Zendala Tiles. From the hearts of Rick and Maria to your pen, see the Zentangle Method through the founders eyes with their words of inspiration, favorite tangles and the perfect balance of logic and whimsy.

It’s no coincidence that two out of the eight steps of the Zentangle method encourage appreciation. This idea encompasses wonder, admiration, and marveling at our creations, others' art, and the season we are in. When we give ourselves this gift, it feeds our imagination and comforts our soul.
Bijou encourages you to pause and marvel in the everyday beauty you are surrounded with.

Beautiful giclée, signed print of original art by Maria Thomas. Lettering reads, "When Autumn Draws Near." Maria found herself on one of her tangled meanderings, this time inspired by the turning colors that appear in New England as the summer ends and fall awakens.

The No Mistakes Philosophy encourages us not to view miss strokes or mishaps as mistakes, but rather marvel in the beauty and opportunity that you may have not seen before.
The No Mistakes Tote and Water Bottle Bundle is the perfect reminder of the philosophy that has changed our lives, both on and off the tile.
Available for a Limited Time
| | | | Our experiences are shaped by the explorations we take. In Zentangle art, we naturally play inside our comfort zone - returning to the tangles we know well, shading with graphite, adding our chop. It is comforting to stay within these boundaries, knowing that we can always come back to this safe place. We remind ourselves that we are capable. But we can gain a lot from stepping beyond that boundary, going somewhere new, and forcing ourselves to think in a new way. What would happen if we asked our pens to do something we have not asked before? | | |

Bijou encourages you to love your work - and others will, too! What Bijou knows is that the best gifts don't come from an online cart or a Black Friday deal - they come from you.
If you find yourself a little stumped when it comes to gift-giving this year, consider making a unique tangled gift.
The joy of Zentangle is that it is made with love, one stroke at a time. Each pen line carries a bit of your calm, your focus, your presence. And when you give that to someone, you’re sharing more than a piece of paper - you’re sharing a little piece of you.
We've come up with a few ideas to help guide you this season, but when you know how to tangle, the possibilities are endless!
