Is it a birthday? Is it an anniversary? Both, it’s a Tangleversary!
Today, tucked in between May Day and Cinco de Mayo celebrations, TanglePatterns.com celebrates NINE wonderful years of sharing ZentangleĀ® learning, creativity, fun and inspiration with you.
Nine years. For those who are counting that’s 470 weeks (3,290 days) … almost a decade of my life! OMGosh.
Over the past 470 weeks weāve 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. Itās 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 ZentangleĀ® 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 to CZT Sandy Hunter for coming up with Tangleversary!)
And a very special thanks to all the artists who share their tangles with us and inspire our creativity.
Iāve said in the past and itās worth repeating, itās truly my honor to keep you tangled ā¦ er ā¦ tangling!
As Obi-Wan Kenobi might say, āMay the 4th be with you!ā

Well done Linda, you made such a difference to the tangling world!
Congratulations! We’re so lucky to have you! Your site has been invaluable to me.

You are, in my mind, a pillar of the Zentangle world. Congratulations on your anniversary, and most of all, thank you!
Much appreciation and many thanks for all you do. You have been my Zentangle companion since 2010 and I have learned so much from you. And I think it is significant that your anniversary falls on this day. May the Fourth be with you!
Dear Linda, Thank you for 9 years of Zentangle inspiration (even though I’ve only been following you for 3 of those years)! You have helped me so much.
