I want to thank ESPECIALLY Tasmin Rootman, for suggesting that I write this book. Thank you for the super constructive suggestions and help editing. This is what she had to say:
Eni's new overlapping book is bursting at the seams with information set out in such an easily understandable way. I was not able to put it down until I'd read it from front to back, all 55 pages! If you're looking to add a bit more drama, a bit more character to your tangles, then this ebook will help you achieve it. It is going to change the way I tangle for sure. Eni has a way of breaking down a technique to its very basic steps to make it logical and simple to implement with visual aids all the way through. A great addition to any Eni Oken collection.
I also want to thank Denise Vitola, for being such a wonderful editor, your help was invaluable! This is the review Denise wrote about the book:
Overlapping, Layering, Overhang and Shading are concepts that will transform you into a Tangling Diva! In Eni Oken’s book, 3D TANGLE: OVERLAPPING ZENTANGLE®, the author gives you techniques and tips that will guide you from drawing simple Zentangles® to full-blown art. Eni takes you through each technique thoroughly and completely before she gradually combines them into exquisite designs that you, too, can create. She also offers many case studies and templates with check sheets to help you achieve the full effect of overlapping. So get out your paper, pencils and pens, and follow along with Eni as she delivers the secrets to overlapping.
And finally, Dana Jones and Erica Sendel, for so generously agreeing to look over the ebook with insightful suggestions, thank you ladies!

And this the review from Dana (Jonesy) Jones:
I received an advance copy of Eni Oken's latest ebook, 3D Tangle: Overlapping Zentangle, for an honest review. It is an honor for me, as I am a long-standing student of her work.
This is the book that will illuminate light bulbs in the minds of artists around the world. Eni gives us 54 pages, jam - packed with enrichment. While this book is not geared towards the beginning tanglers, most readers will find her instructions easy to understand. New here, you will find an overlap checklist, which is laid out in detail, one step at a time. Every item on the list includes illustration, for better comprehension. This book is rife with examples of Eni's incredible artwork, a treat in itself, that show how to put the checklist to use. There are advanced techniques, for the artists that want to take their craft even further. Also included, are templates for your tangling practice. This may just be her most influential ebook yet, second only to Shading Fearlessly. It definitely will change the landscape for the Zentangle community. Get yours today. This is a must-have.

Eni, this book is beyond anything I could have hoped for. You structured what I need to consider from beginning to end. The checklist helps me learn to self evaluate so I can add punch to the work or understand what I'm missing. WOW!!!!!! I love it.
