The Method to the Madness
In this lesson, you'll learn how even the most complex systems can sometimes be broken down to an essential structure. Just like in nature, structures that look super intricate can be mastered by carefully identifying a few core, basic elements. As most random things in life, there is an underlying structure that makes everything make sense. This lesson is all about "boiling things down to essentials".

"Just finished watching the video on Organic Borders and wanted to let you know how much I like this lesson! I know it will be a challenge for me, but I plan to practice, practice and practice more till I come up with at least one decent one to post! I am so in awe of what you come up with for us to try! I appreciate all the hard work you put into the lessons along with the recipe cards and step outs for us to print."

"I loved this lesson on organic borders. One of the drawings I am working on needed a border. Now I know how to do it. I had fun practicing the different borders during the video. I kept pausing so I could practice the different tangles. Awesome lesson."

"I have been enjoying the Organic Borders immensely! I like to create samplers, and hang them in my studio to remind me of different patterns, techniques, etc. After doing several Organic Borders tiles, I wanted to have a way to remember the great ideas from your book. I happened to have an extra Zentangle spinner, which worked beautifully. Thanks again for all the inspiration!"
