Call it a Birthday or an Anniversary or better still, let’s use the super cool term coined by CZT Sandy Hunter … today is TanglePatterns FIFTH Tangleversary!
On May 4th, 2010, TanglePatterns was launched with the headline “Welcome Zentangle Zealots!“.
And here we are FIVE {that’s V in Zentanglish} years later, and still as Zentangle®-zealous as ever.
In this time we’ve enjoyed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of tangles, dozens and dozens of wonderful tutorials, tons of creative inspiration, the world of tanglers sharing their expertise and experience and their heartfelt stories. Friendships have been made around the globe. It’s a beautiful thing this Zentangle community of ours.
Thanks so much to each and every one of you who help keep TanglePatterns going with your financial and emotional support. Thanks too for your treasured notes, cards, letters, emails, and comments of encouragement.
Immeasurable gratitude to Rick and Maria for this magical Zentangle® art form that made this wonderful community possible. Thanks to all my CZT colleagues for sharing their enthusiasm with tanglers all over the world. And a very special thanks to all the artists who share their tangles with us and inspire our creativity.
Thanks for allowing me the honor and the pleasure of keeping your Zentangle passion fueled with TanglePatterns.com. I look forward to many more years of fun, learning, and inspiration as we share this wonderful Zentangle journey together.
And paraphrasing tangler Sandra Cummings, “May the 4th always be with you!” 🙂
Love and hugs to you all and please enjoy a digital cupcake, or five (they’re gluten-free) …
BTW – if you fancy creating a Tangleversary Zentangle, you can email a scan or (better still) mail your tile to me at PO Box 31146, Palm Beach Gardens FL 33420. I’d love to see what you come up with! xx
