TanglePatterns thanks YOU for being part of this 15-year-long creative journey!

TanglePatterns Turns 15 - May 4, 2025Today is our 15th Tangleversary!! TanglePatterns is another year older 🙂

I could never have imagined on that day — May 4th, 2010, a decade and a half ago — when I posted the first Hello Zentangle Zealots welcome that I would still be here, saying “TanglePatterns turns 15 today”. Frankly, it’s mind-blowing.

TanglePatterns Turns 15 - May 4, 2025

And we built this amazing Zentangle® resource together. Of course we have Maria and Rick to thank for their gift of this amazing art form, that’s a given. Also a given for thanks are all the wonderful tanglers who share their creations with us through TanglePatterns. But I could never have kept up this full-time effort for all these years without you and the incredible support and encouragement of everyone in our world-wide community. And of course my Sweetie of 52 years, Robert, who always has my back. So I especially want to thank you for being part of this inspiring creative journey.

It’s been a joy and an honor for me to be a small part of your Zentangle adventure and with luck and by the good graces of the Universe, I’ll continue to be here for you for more years to come.

Thank you so much for celebrating this memorable milestone with with me!

With much gratitude to Cyndi Knapp for this “electrifying” Tangleversary card 🙂 The scan simply doesn’t do her 3D card justice, the white die-cut numbers are popped up on the tangled and layered background. A keepsake for sure!

  • Sue Zanker

    Dear Linda,
    My inspiration for Zentangle started with YOUR site! A friend, who loved scrolling, found your site and suggested I might be interested…. and that was MY beginning. It was only after that, when I then investigated further and found the Zentangle site after reading everything I could on your site……so you were my beginning to my beginning!!
    I thank you personally for all you have done for all Zentanglers and not forgetting your Robert either! I know only too well how very important our loved men help us and stand at our backs, helping us to achieve our goals, so thank you to Robert too!
    With much love and congratulations on this milestone…
    Sue Zanker

  • Barbara Langston, CZT34

    Happy anniversary, Linda! I appreciate your site so much! Thank you for maintaining this for 15 years. That’s quite an accomplishment and the site is so very helpful.

  • Polly Heinselman

    Thank you so much Linda. I only found Zentangle in October 2020 through the help of a cozy mystery I was reading that happened to mention Zentangle lessons being done in the craft store that the book was about. The word intrigued me and I started searching and found this site and quite a few very very talented CZT‘s that were giving online lessons. That was my introduction to art of any kind. I have referred to your site almost on a daily basis and now at going on 79 years of age, am still enjoying this wonderful art form that got me through many, very very busy and trying caregiving days of my mother living in her home a few miles away and my husband at home with me at the same time. You are indeed a saint for having the fortitude to keep this site going, and I wish you many many long years to come. Polly Heinselman

  • Cheryl Cianci
