Today, tucked in between May Day and Cinco de Mayo celebrations, TanglePatterns.com celebrates four wonderful years of sharing Zentangle® learning, creativity, fun and inspiration with you.
Four years ago on May 4th, 2010, I started the site with the greeting, “Hello Zentangle® Zealots!” And here we are four years later and still going strong. As I’ve said before, I couldn’t have done this without your love and support. A world of thanks to Rick and Maria for the beautiful gift of Zentangle. And thanks too, go to all the wonderful members of the Zentangle community around the globe for sharing their tangles and creativity with us all.
Lastly, many thanks for allowing me the honor and the pleasure of keeping your Zentangle passion fueled with TanglePatterns.com.
May the adventure continue!

Your enthusiasm and dedication is much appreciated!
Linda, You rock! Thanks so much for sharing your/our passion with the world. I’ve shown your site to all my friends who love to doodle and showed them that doodling can be so much more. Tangle On!
Happy Anniversary! i absolutely love your site and visit it everyday. Sometimes 4-5 times a day. Love the book for reference, too.
Thank you for keeping things going. Tangle On!
Congrats on 4 yrs, I have been doing zentangle/doodling for less than a year and love your site. It is most helpful. Would love to see a section on advanced techniques, maybe how to go to zia and get away from just string that is rather constraining.
congrats again!!!!!
thank you over and over again for zentangle and all the wonderful side effects that came with it. I am on day 531 of my morning zentangle drawings, no matter how I feel, now matter where I am, I zentangle every morning and have for 531 days. Each piece is beautiful, a miniature masterpiece. and also at Blurb.com I have made 4 childrens Rhyming books with all zentangle influence through out… thats under Carolee Lavarini at Blurb.com. Zentangle is one of the best habits I have ever formed in my over than 70 years on earth time.
Happy, Happy 4th Anniversary! I love this site and am so glad it’s here! 🙂
Happy Anniversary to you!!! So happy you decided to take the plunge and set up the website. It has been an inspiration to us all. Keep up the wonderful work.
Happy Birthday, Tanglepatterns, and thank you so much, Linda, for bringing sooooooooo many tangles for us all to play with! You really are a gem!
Congratulations Linda!! The time, effort, and love you put into this wonderful site and resource is sooo appreciated! THANK YOU!!
Love this site!! I recommend it to all my
classes!! Thanks for all your efforts !!!
Hip hip hurray!! Congratulations and thank you Linda! TanglePatterns.com is my #1 when it comes to Zentangle.
Congratulations and thank you for all you do 🙂
Congrats! All my tangly friends and I couldn’t live our tangled lives without you!
(Did that come out right?)
My congratulations to everyone contributing to this wonderful resource, especially you, Linda. I’ve only been using it for about a year and have spent many, many hours tangling with all the help I get from this site.
Thanks and please, please continue your great work.

Thanks so much for this awesome site and all the wonderful contributors. You Rock!
Happy Anniversary and thank you so much…this website is so inspirational and I look forward to each new post.
ONLY four years !?! It seems like forever that you Linda, and TanglePatterns.com has “had my back”, to coin a phrase, for much longer. I am constantly ‘receiving’….. inspiration, help and so much more, ever since 12th February 2012, when I was first directed to your site by a friend. I SO admire your dedication and unselfishness in working this site and bringing contentment and much,much more through Zentangle. Of course also thanks to Rick and Maria for starting us off, but ‘disciples’ like you to help spread the word are much needed. So a BIG thank you from OZ.
Bravo et merci beaucoup!!???
Congratulation on Four Fabulous Years! Thanks for all your energy and all the patterns, strings, etc. that you provide the Zentangle Community.

Congratulations! This is a wonderful website!! Thank You for all you do!
Congratulations! I am new at Tangling and was lucky to find your site. I know it’s a lot of work for you but it is appreciated by so many people—especially me!
Happy birthday TanglePatterns.com! What a great 4 years it has been! I have only gotten to see the last year and a half, but I believe it is one of the greatest sites on the web! It has definitely been good for me to see all the great tangles that are out there! This is an awesome resource of tangles and I tell all my friends about it. Here is to many more years of tangles on TanglePatterns.com!
Thank you so much for all you do!
Congratulations on year four:) and thank you. I am grateful to you for this wonderful site.
You are my go-to Zentangle place. I found you accidentally–just as I found Sandy Bartholomew Steen’s book Yoga for the Brain accidentally–and have been tangling since December.
Your site is the encyclopedia of ZIA’s. I wish you many years of success! And again, thank you!
The library had The Beauty of Zentangles. After reading it and delighting in the art, I have decided to explore it more. Thank you for giving us this work.
Thank you for hours of work that translated into hours of fun for my art students (ages 5 – adult), my special needs students and my veterans group. We all do tangling every day! My veterans say their pain is decreased when they tangle.
May God bless you, Maria, Rick, you and all those that have contributed. You have made the world a better place – one line at a time.
happy tangleversary!
Thank you for leading me to discover I CAN draw. And that all my years spent doodling my time way really was well spent 🙂
Thank you!
Happy Anniversary! Hope you have many, many more!
Thanks Linda for doing a tremendous job of organizing tangles for us all.
I refer all of my students to your site, and recommend downloading the step-out templates and the annual Tangle Guide – it is such a great resource.
My own Tangle Guide is laminated and bound… I use it in every class, as well as for demos at trade fairs, etc.
Thank you, Thank you , THANK YOU.
