Today is the wrap-up for the tenth Certified Zentangle Teacher® training seminar (aka Seminar X) in Providence, RI, and another one-hundred-or-so newly certified, enthusiastic teachers will be heading out across the planet to coach their students in how to use and benefit from practicing the Zentangle® method. Congratulations to all the graduates of CZT10!
Vanity is an easy, simple ribbon-y tangle pattern that is so flexible and fun. You could use it along a border or string, in a section, or fill up a whole tile by playing around with it in Hollibaugh drawing-behind fashion.
Vanity was created by tangler Laurie Rosin from Florida’s west coast and this is her first on the site. She named her tangle Vanity because “its inspiration was the drawer pull on my bathroom vanity doors”. Below is a photo Laurie sent along of the model for her tangle.
“You already know a little about me, as you were kind enough to publish my story on your website, about using Zentangle to clear my mind while slaving over manuscripts written by beginning authors. Before I became a freelancer, I edited 38 national best sellers, and I’ve been an editor for more than 30 years.
I make greeting cards, have stenciled the walls in my house, and create beaded jewelry. I have hosted Zentangle classes in my home and given my instructor, Mary Masi, an open invitation to teach more classes here. I’m also a professional writer and have been a Writing Fellow for the National Endowment for the Humanities.”
In her steps below for drawing the tangle, Laurie also shows Vanity in a completed Zentangle. This one has all kinds of possibilities. Have fun!

A special word of thanks
… to all of you who are Tweeting and Liking my posts, thanks so much. Wondering how you can too? Simple as clicking on the cute “Be Sociable” icons below on any post. I truly appreciate your help spreading the Zentangle love in the social world. Keep up the great work, team. Cheers!
This looks like a really nice Tangle, would it be possible to make it larger???
Yes, hold down the CTRL key and roll your mouse button.
Off subject but, I have a friend who is looking for an editor. If Laurie is still in the business I’d like a contact please.
P.S. Nice ZT-Vanity… a woman of many talents I see!
Per Kimberly’s request for my contact information, here’s my website. Thank you! Laurie
WOW Laurie!!! So very nice and you are just so talented, and to think I knew you in the beginning!!
I love this tangle-it is delicate and you don’t have to be exact with the lines/ribbon. It is really pretty. Thank you.
Laurie absolutely love your tangle that you created.
Thanks for sharing!
I just had to laugh to myself when I saw it. I have a habit of trying to see more into some design than what is there. Sort of like looking at the clouds and trying to find pictures or shapes in them. So here is what I saw. Mommy monster looking down at her daughter monster and saying “We finally got your hair combed out.”
Love the tangle, will have to play it with it soon
