NOTE – This page is from December 2011 and the offer of a free PDF is no longer available. However the latest edition of my TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE can be purchased on the STORE > EBOOKS page and downloaded instantly.
Happy New Year! I am so delighted to tell you that soon I will be emailing a FREE PDF of all the patterns on TanglePatterns to everyone who has financially supported the site as described on the “Support TanglePatterns” page.
I’ve been trying to think of a way to thank you for your response to my recent request for support. Once upon a time I was working on a book titled The Tangle Pattern Pocket Guide, but arrangements with the publisher fell through and somehow my gut wasn’t into pursuing it further. So this is what I’ve come up with. And it’s a green project!
I’m creating a PDF, the TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE, 2012 Edition containing all the patterns on the site. It’s a FREE e-book for everyone who has financially supported the site as described on “Support TanglePatterns” page. When I’m ready to send it out in the next couple of weeks, I’ll notify you in an upcoming post so you can watch your inbox for it.
Thanks again for all your wonderful comments and emails and cards and letters. You’re a great crew.
Have a safe and joyous celebration this evening, and I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

You rock!

Great idea! I really look forward to seeing all the designs in one place.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

You are AWESOME! I have the best husband in the WORLD! He actually noticed and listened to how much I love tangling and he got me the official Tangle kit for xmas! Life is Good! Have a very Happy New Year!
Hi, Linda
What is the deadline on accepting financial contributions? The soonest I can contribute is January 6th. I would love to have a copy of the pdf once you send it out. Would January 6th 2012 be too late?
I just want to thank you for this site. Because of it I’m able to do some incredible tangle patterns that I didn’t know existed. I love how they turn out. Most of all you never know what you will get. It’s always a pleasant surprise.
With your PDF, The Pocket Guide of Tangle Patterns (Volume 1), will you have a donation box? I haven’t bought anything from you, and would like to have this. Already can’t wait for other Volumes.
You too, have a wonderful New Year,
Jane McBride
Hi Jane, if you visit the Donate page (top menu bar) it describes some options for supporting the site. There’s also a green “Click here to support TanglePatterns” button at the top of the right sidebar >>. Thanks, so glad you like the surprises, me too!
Wow! Such generosity! Thank you very much – I look forward to opening my Inbox now. I hope you and Robert have a lovely, relaxing New Year’s Eve together.
I just found this site after receiving my Zentangle kit for Christmas. I have been so immersed in your site that I sent a donation right away. And then I found out that you would be sending the pocket guide. Whoopee! Thank you for thoughtfulness and generosity!
Love your site and the constant source of new patterns. Just made a donation. Happy New Year and thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much for your generous offer. A deep bow of gratitude for all the work you do for the zentangling community and for subscribers like me. I am really looking forward to receiving the pdf. Blessings for 2012 and may joy and peace rain down upon you and yours.
That is the most exciting thing I have heard all year! I can’t wait! Thank you for your generosity. I am pleased to be able to support this very valuable resource. I wish it could be more. I hope to become a CZT in August so I am pledging the income from my very first class. Have a fantastic New Year much health, wealth and creativity.
J.
Wow! I’ve been looking over some of my drawings and realized I needed to expand my patterns. This will make it MUCH easier. Thanks for your terrific gift!
What a great idea. Thanks so much for all the work you put into this site.
Wow, you guys …
For those who are asking here and by email – this is NOT a limited time offer. Everyone who financially supports the site will receive the free PDF.
Yay! What a great idea! Can’t wait!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This would be an answer to my main Zentangle problem. What a thoughtful way to say “thank you”—especially when none is needed. I appreciate this wonderful site.
Thank you for this wonderful and generous idea — can’t wait!
Great idea Linda – looking forward to it!
That is awesome! Thanks, I can’t wait to receive it. š
Thank you so much- and supporting tangle patterns.com is the right thing to do- you have been more than generous- thank you again!
Dear Linda,
Thank you again for your over the top generosity. I can assure you I very much appreciate all your efforts and look forward to your email everyday! Have a blessed New Year.
Linda

What a gift and what a great way to start the new year! I’m truly grateful for all the effort you put into this site for all of us who love tangling. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am just beginning to dabble in zentangle and am a Paper crafter. I am happy to donate to keep this great site up and running- what a fabulous resource!!! Thanks for all you do!
I’ve been meaning to donate since early November 2011, and now I have! Great way to end the year! Linda, you have given us a great resource with your website. Now a PDF of all the tangles? Space is saved on my eReader for it! Thank you so much for your generosity and hard work!!
Linda,
What a wonderful surprise for all of us! It will make my Tangling so much easier…or maybe more complicated?? I know I will love it…thanks for the gift of sharing. My 2012 bring you and yours, joy and prosperity!
Wow, thanks Linda, how generous of you. It is such a wonderful site.
Yea!!! What a wonderful gift to tanglers. Happy New Year Linda!

Oh, my gosh!! Too wonderful for words.
Thank you so much.
What a gift. You have started the beginning of my new year with a positive, artistic approach. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are amazing.
That is wonderful news!!! I cannot wait! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, Linda! Great idea and wonderful gift. Thank you so much!
Linda, You are such a sweetheart!!! What a wonderful gift to all of us when your website is really already a gift. I haven’t had much time to tangle in 2011 but I’ll be setting aside more time in 2012. Thanks for making this such a great learning place.
Happy New year!!
What an awesome gift, this site has been such a blessing to me during a time that could have been very stressful. Zentangles have been a relief for me during the past year, my husband was injured in Afghanistan one year ago December 8TH and while in waiting rooms or hospitals drawing tangles have given me a piece of mind. For this I am so very thankful, so thank you for everything you have given us. Happy New Year to all.
Wow what a wonderful gift. Thank you so much.
Awesome, can’t wait for the PDF file! You guys are great !
Happy New Year Linda. Thank you so much for all the inspirations you are giving from the heart through Tangle Patterns. I will be a great way to start the year will all the patterns. I received my kit before Christmas, thank you.
I am really pleased, it would be lovely to have them all in one place as a reference and thanks so much for all the hard work you have put in the site.
Hope you have a happy and healty new year,
hugs from France,
Joanne
Thanks! I’ll admit I only just donated but was unaware of your donation appeal. Am always happy to support sites I use and value – yours is definitely one of those š thanks again for your PDF offer and am really looking forward to receiving it.
Hi Linda,

Sally
Linda – thank you so much for your generosity. I hope the tangle community supports you well in 2012 as you provide such a service to those at every station of their Zentangle experience from newbie to CZT. I can’t wait to get your email notice. Thank you for your hard work. Have a prosperous and Happy New Year.
Love your site and the constant source of new inspiration!!!!!! Thanks Linda, it is so generous of you to share.
Happy, healthy and safe 2012 to you and yours.
Thank you Linda for all the patterns and inspiration you give us. I just donated. I am looking forward to the pdf file too.
Happy New Year
Hi,
I donated in the past and donate something now and what a great idea
Have a lovely new year
OK, you got me on the free PDF. I love your site and use it and it’s time to donate. So I did. Thanks for the wonderful job you do. This is a great site!
Thanks so much Linda! I’m currently in the process of writing and illustrating a book on Zentangle and yours is my “go-to” site for inspiration. I actually give a plug for your web-site in the book, because I think it’s such a valuable resource for Zentangle enthusiasts…that’s why I not only made a donation awhile back, but encouraged others to do so. Your PDF gift is so generous and will be greatly appreciated!
You are amazing! I couldn’t have started tangling without your site. I live in a rural area with no CZT’s nearby. You are wonderful for putting up your website, and now making the patterns in PDF…wow. Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you for all the hard work you do to provide us with this site and for this amazing gift! Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thank You for a wonderful site. I discovered it over a year ago when I had first discovered Zentangle. I just made a donation as your “free” pdf is worth paying for! Thank YOU!
Oh Joy! Now this is something to look forward to. Thanks so much for your inspiration and generosity. Happy New Year!
Am brand-new to zentangling and stumbled on your website which seems to have everything I need to get started. I will make a donation in hopes it isn’t too late to get the pdf!
Yiiiiippppeeeeeee!!!!!
Thank you so much for your gift. Even without the gift you do a great service to us all and it is for that reason that I am proud to be a contributor to Tangle Patterns. Thanks for all you do.
OH WOW! I can’t WAIT to see all the patterns in one place! I’ve tried to create my own but hasn’t worked well! THANKS!!
Fantastic idea!!! Thanks so very much!
Awesome! I just recently “discovered” Zentangles, and your site has helped me keep my sanity in the 12 hours a week I spend in dialysis. Well worth the $10 subscription, even without the .PDF.
Thanks for the gift of your site!
I discovered Zentangle a little over a year ago and I can honestly say that it has saved my life. Over the past 6 years I have been suffering from chronic hand and arm pain and severe depression and anxiety. I can get lost in my Zentangle. I also carry a book and pen in my purse so it is always handy to help me settle down. I can not thank you enough for what you have given me. Thank you so very much
coral
Thanks so much for sharing your Zentangle experience, Coral. It is one of the greatest joys for me to hear how Zentangle has helped so many in difficult situations. Powerful stuff. Hugs to you!
THANKS SO MUCH… I have always thought about contributing.. But now the temptation was too great.. I think you will hit the jackpot by being so generous.!!
Pat
Wow! Can’t wait! One can never have too many tangles!
So glad I donated awhile back!
Thank you Linda, for your fantastic work on the TanglePatterns site! I have learned so much and now happily subscribe! Happy New Year, wishing you Peace, Joy, and Prosperity, Happy Tangling!
Hi!
I stumbled upon the idea of Zantangles a few weeks ago and can’t believe what a positive change t has had on me! I am an art teacher (mostly elementary level, but also teach one high school class) and I am using Zentangles with my students as a way to teach so many of the art elements, but also as a way to encourage intrinsic creativity and a form of meditation. I can’t wait to get the PDF! My goal for this year is to organize a book of Zentangle patterns, created by the students in my school. The kids are eating up the idea and I’m so excited to see where this all goes. Thanks so much for sharing you ideas and creativity with us!
Wow, Linda. Everyone before has said it all. But, I must say THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am looking forward to this pdf gift of Tanglepattern I can’t wait!! Hopefully it will be soon!
I’m working on it Amy, and if all goes as planned I expect to begin sending it out towards the end of next week. Hang in there!
Will the tanglepattern book be available to those that have just found your site, like me?
Welcome Connie, yes it sure is. Hope you enjoy the site!
I am so glad to be getting my email again. I love your site. Can’t wait for the PDF file. Thank you
Hi Linda
will you send us an email when the pdf is available for us to receive? I want to thank you for putting the pdf together and for giving it to us for contributing to keeping your site live. I would gladly pay you for the pdf if you need to. Again, Thank you so much.
cristie
Hi Cristie, I will let everyone know when it is available, should be next week sometime (hopefully before Friday 13th). I’m working on it like CRAZY! Thanks for your support.
Linda, The work you do for all of us boggles my mind. This New Years gift is very, very, special. Thank you so much.. By the way — I’m 80 years old and can’t afford to have my mind boggled too often. Love. Barbara
Linda, cannot wait to see the tangle guide. I too am an elementary school teacher and have started a zentangle club with the grade five and six students during lunch hours on tuesdays. Sometimes I have upwards of 25 kids! They are so excited about zentangle. I Love it. And thanks again for the wonderful website. Sara Mudge
Hi Linda. I just discovered Zentangle and more recently your site. I LOVE it! I am super excited about the Tangle Guide…but am worried that because I’m a “late bloomer” that my name won’t make it to your list…just want to be sure I’m on it! I just can’t get enough…my husband thinks I’m nuts – but I say, it keeps me quiet and out of his hair, LOL…anyway – looking forward to the guide and more good stuff from your site. Happy New Year.
Hi Kelly! Welcome to the new addiction, everyone should be so blessed š So glad you and all our new tanglers have discovered Zentangle and TanglePatterns. We LOVE having you here. Have fun!!!
I subscribed and left a post a few days ago, but don’t see it posted. THANK YOU for all you do for this site and all tanglers. If you are too busy to post this or reply, I know that you are diligently putting your New Year’s gift together for all of us. I will try to be patient as I wait for this wonderful gift!!!
Thanks for your support Leigh, your comment was on the “About” page ;-). And I AM diligently working on the PDF, it’s just about finished and should go out before Friday.
Thanks so much for making 2011 a better year! I found Zentangle this year, and it has helped!!! Your site has been a HUGE resource for my tnbagling! You do so much to keep this site up, and we can’t thank you enough! I am going to drop you a donation soon, so that I can get your new PDF coming soon! Happy New Year to you too!
Aloha, Andrea
***I made my donation using my hubby’s card, so it is in his name…hope that does not matter! Again, I can’t thank you enough! I know you work hard to keep this site the BEST! And we all appreciate your efforts!
Aloha, Andrea
I think that you should post new info about the PDF available to all who support the site…put it on the front page…if you build it they willl come! We are happy to support the site…cus we all use it daily…the resource is the best! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see it!
Hi Linda. Thanks so very much for creating and running this site. I am disabled by several incurable medical conditions at a relatively young age and have found Zentangle to be a wonderful activity and distraction for me as I am unable to leave my home or be around people due to my medical conditions, one of which is a severe immune deficiency (remember the “boy in the bubble” movie with John Travolta? It’s kinda like that). I signed up and have been receiving emails from your site for several months now and never realized there was a Donate button until you put out the notice about the PDF. While I have no money due to being disabled and unable to work, I did donate $5.00 USD toward the site. I hope that is enough to qualify me for the PDF file you are putting together. It was all I could give. (Sorry about that.)
I have been having a hard time keeping up with all the new patterns that people are developing. I can’t seem to find a good way to organize them all, especially in a printed fashion, and your PDF will go a very long way in helping me with that. I very much love Zentangle, and I also very much need it. In fact, one of my specialist doctors has included Zentangle as part of my treatment plan while she herself has taken up the activity for her own enjoyment. It’s interesting to go to a dr appt and compare artwork. š
Wishing you many blessing in this New Year!
Cheers,
Christina
Aww! I missed the part earlier where it said arrangements with the Publisher fell through. The publisher missed out!
I’m going to do up a review of your PDF. I’m already scheduled for a review on Monday, that I’m not sure I’ll make, but I’ll try to have it done sometime next week. I think most of my readers are probably already aware of the PDF, but I’ve been getting lots of new readers, so maybe I’ll catch a few that are unaware of it.
Thanks Sandra, much appreciated. š
Linda
So looking forward to viewing your PDF tanglepatterns, I will be teaching my 150 5th graders zentangle patterns in the Spring.
Linda
Thank you but am unable to use PDF on an Apple Mac.
Hi Linda. I just started to tangle this past week. I went on a 7 night cruise and since I have cancer and could not do a lot of activities, I decided to try Zentangle. I came upon your site and made some copies of some designs and I tangled away! I did at least 1 every day, including my hand and foot. I am totally addicted to this new art form. I can’t wait to learn more! I will try to make a donation. I would love to have the PDF to take on my next trip!
Haven’t received the PDF, but I, too, have a MAC. I do have another little Windows laptop, I’ll have to check that!
Hi Denise, the PDF has been emailed to all paid supporters. I don’t have a PayPal record of your email address, did you use a different email address when you donated? It’s possible you are an email subscriber which is a free service. If that’s the case and you would like a copy of the TANGLE GUIDE, please visit the Donate page to find out how to get one.
Hi Linda, I discovered zentangling a week before christmas, have become totally addicted and am even booked to attend the CTZ confrence in feb. I have purchased a kit from the site and would love to get hold of your PDF. I don’t know if I am on your records. If not I will subscribe. Thank you for all the work you put into this site. It is amazing. Regards Liane
I love all the patterns on here. I just donated to your site and look forward getting you PDF Patterns.
New to Zentangle and loving every minute. Will look forward to receiving the PDF tangle patterns!
Well done with making this site it gives a lot of people a lot of pleasure!
Hi there! I’ve just found you today and I’ve sent you a donation. I am so happy to have found your site and I love the spirit in which you share your skills and knowledge! Thank you for helping us newbies to get the hang of tangles!
Hello Linda. I enjoy your site and regular emails- I never did recieve this pdf though and I had been looking forward to it. Would you please try to send it to me again? What a great resource!
Hi Gaia, my TANGLE GUIDE is for financial supporters of the site and I don’t have a PayPal record of your donation/subscription or purchase of the Official Kit from my TanglePatterns store. If you used another name or email address with PayPal, or if you have any PayPal information you can send me to help track down your donation, please email me the info. There’s more info here on the FAQ page.
Linda…
I bought the Zentangle Kit from you and never received the Guide. I was just wondering when it would come?
Thank you…
Sue
HI Sue, I can’t locate a PayPal record corresponding to your email address. If you used another name and email address to purchase your Kit, please email me with the details so we can track this down. Often people use an email address with PayPal that they never check and that’s the address I send the PDF to, unless I’m otherwise instructed with the order. Thanks!
What a wonderful site! thanks for all your amazing contributions and willingness to share//1
I was just exposed to your wonderful, generous art site and have made a donation of $15 to help you to continue your “teaching”. Thank you for all your work and efforts. I do hope that I will also recieve your generous PDF gift.
Thank you took awhile to get the money but I did finally!
