• I have enjoyed looking through this book and plan on decorating envelope edges wit them. thank you. definitely buy!
• This is good for education and I love doodling, so this is right up my alley
• I would like to thank Quarto Publishing Group – Race Point Publishing for providing me with a temporary free electronic ARC of this book, via Netgalley. Any reviews I give are done obligation free, and are unpaid… but we won’t go there. ;-)
  
  So, I have always been a doodler… those little squiggles and flowers down the margin of my work. But I never thought I was that good and they were all really more scribbles than anything actually recognisable.
  
  Meaning I already had an interest in this topic… or so I thought! But since reading, and trying out some of the suggestions, in ‘A Doodle a Day’ I am officially addicted to journaling and bullet journaling (two different things by the way ;-) ).
  
  ‘A Dangle a Day’ is a fantastic stepping stone for people to learn about… well, you could call them just doodles. But what I got from this book is how beneficial journaling, drawing dangles, doodles, bullet journaling is to the creative soul. I am not saying I am an amazing artist – I know I’m not. But that doesn’t matter… I have a creative soul and it needs an outlet. And learning the basics of dangles, and learning they are not really as complicated as they seem, has opened a world of creative “Me Time” for me.
  
  I have been describing it as a form of meditation for the ever busy, creative mind. As, yes, my name is Janis and I am an over thinker. ;-) I try and meditate, but emptying my mind just makes me fall asleep. Meditation and I are not good as if I stop thinking about the “adulting stuff” in my life, that cleared mind gets filled with story ideas, recipe theories, craft projects… it jumbles, shouts, confuses and I don’t destress. Oh, and I do not shut up! -D
  
  And ‘A Dangle a Day’ has helped introduce me to a new form of mental downtime. I can let go of the stressful “adulting” while allowing myself to become one with the creative… but in a relaxing way. I am seriously feeling the benefits already, and these are all I’ve done… so far.
  
  So, that is my open and honest opinion of ‘A Dangle a Day’. But for those of you who need a less hippy, waffly version of a review, here you go
  
  ‘A Dangle a Day’ is an introduction to journaling and bullet journaling art. Not the actual “how to” on journaling or bullet journaling… simply the “how to” on how to create the art to define your journals. And, for me, if helped drop the barriers of knowing where to start in journaling by providing a great introduction to what dangles and doodles are all about, lists of the best materials required for these art projects and then gives good step by step instructions on how to create things like letters, numbers, seasons, etc. These finished projects are also shown at the back of the book, referencing the pages of step by step instructions.
  
  The only two, very small, negative comments I would make are I would have loved further instruction or hints on colouring and blending. And maybe if the art had been shown on dot pages… as it seems everyone prefers to use them for their work.
  
  BUT! These negatives are really more of a wish list so can probably be ignored! -D
  
  To the copyeditor “boring” side of things – ‘A Dangle a Day’ was formatted well. The layout, fonts and images were well spaced and easy to read and follow. My only quibble with them is I had an electronic copy so couldn’t have “my turn” as each page suggests. Well, I could. I just had to use my own journals for it. ;-) And, gosh darn it, I found myself simply FORCED to visit a stationery store and buy a new dot page journal too! (Note sarcasm -D )
  
  Would I recommend this book for others?
  
  Yes I would. Particularly those who are interested in giving journaling and bullet journaling a go but aren’t too sure where to start. As I’ve said, ‘A Dangle a Day’ won’t actually show you how to start journaling… but it shows you how to do the creative dangles and doodles that are the cornerstones to journaling. Well, I feel they are. As I really didn’t know where to start with my journaling, but wanted to give it a go as creative “Me Time”. Now I know where to go thanks to this book!
  
  You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy giving ‘A Dangle a Day’ a go… just a desire to be creative. The step by step instructions (or final dangles displayed at the back of the book) will help you do the rest.
  
  Would I buy this book for myself?
  
  Yes I would. As with most non-fiction books I receive to review, I only received an ACSM with a limited shelf-life (it expires just after a month) so I will need to buy a copy if I want to turn to it for inspiration again at a later date. And… I would be happy to do so. I just hope it is available at an affordable price here in Australia. has started blocking people from buying from 3rd parties and telling me to use .au… where the same item doubles and triples in price. So it will all depend on whether I can find it for an affordable price.
  
  In summary A good starting point on how to become creative in journaling and bullet journaling.
• As a card maker, font enthusiast and doodler, I really enjoyed A Dangle a Day. It would be excellent for those who like bullet journals and planners.
  
  The book starts out with recommended materials. The instructions for each letter and number are clear and easy to follow, with space on the page to practice your own. Porter's dangles and charms are fun and charming. My only objection is that they are very feminine. Only a few letters used bold bright colors that might have more appeal to males. I think it would be fun to make a little book with the numbers, with dangles for children to count. They could make a nice personalized card too.
  
  Part 2 has dangles and charms for the seasons and each month. Things are more complicated by this point, but she does have some simpler shapes less experienced 'artists' can copy. At the end she has all the letters, numbers, months and seasons together for easy reference.
  
  Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
• A Dangle a Day is a new tutorial guide for helping add more structured whimsy to writing and lettering. Author Angela Porter is well known for intricate coloring books for adults. Released 15th January 2019 by Quarto on their Race Point imprint, it's 144 pages and available in paperback format.
  
  I'm not an artist (I'm a bioengineer). I do however feel the need to have creativity in my life. I have spent a fair bit of time with doodling, zentangles, painting, calligraphy and journaling. This book is a natural partner for all of those. I've also always been in love with illuminated manuscripts. This is sort of a doodling version of the idea of illuminated letters.
  
  The book is logically straightforward in layout, which really appealed to me. After a short introduction and definition of dangles and what they are, there's a short section on materials which leads into a discussion of bullet journaling and how dangles can enhance the process.
  
  After the intro, the book's divided into two main sections dangle letters and numerals, and a seasonal tutorial collection for year-round decorating. These would make lovely cards or envelope decorations. I've been trying to write more actual letters lately and these are wonderful for embellishing.
  
  A fair amount of page content is given over to practice pages ('Now it's your turn'). Despite this, the book is full of intricate and appealing designs.
  
  The author's writing style is informal, encouraging, and supportive.
  
  Four stars. Fun!
  
  Disclosure I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
• I had briefly heard of dangles during my experimentation with Zentangle. Dangles look like a lot of fun and while I cannot draw but wish I could, this book has step-by-step diagrams to help me succeed. I love that Porter also shows the colors to use so I don’t have to get bogged down in debating which colors look best together. There are so many cool dangles included in this book — besides the usual letters and numbers, there are seasonal ones (the XMAS ones are outstanding and would be fantastic on homemade cards) as well as monthly ones. Porter’s dangles are super duper eye candy and I am very excited about drawing all of them! I will definitely buy this book ASAP!
  
  Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group/Race Point Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.
