The Zen of Zentangle®
I just came back home from a 3 day Zentangle® event called "Tangle in the Desert, in Carefree, Arizona. It was great to see familiar faces and meet some new folks. It was packed full of tangling projects. 
As I was driving home, I thought about what I would write today. And here it is, The Top Ten Things to Love About Tangling.

  1. Anyone can do it! If you can write your name, you can tangle!
  2. It’s portable. Waiting for a doctor, pull out your tangle supplies and tangle away.
  3. It’s relaxing. It will calm you down, slow your breathing, and create a chill place for you.
  4. It’s fun! Oh so much fun and especially fun when you have a group of people tangling together.
  5. Even with the same string and same tangles, each tile is uniquely different.
  6. Beautiful pieces of art are made by you. No art experience needed. Ask me about that, I know.
  7. Tangles can be put on just about anything; shirts, shoes, hats, totes……
  8. It’s a great way to involve the whole family. Each family member can put a different tangle on the paper you are working on, to create a wonderful piece of art that can then be framed.
  9. Once you begin tangling, you will find patterns for tangles in your environment.
  10. There is a huge tangling community with all kinds of resources. The world is your tangle.

  1. Beautiful picture Cindy. I'm wondering how one begins a tangle project. At first I thought it was string art.
