Today 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.
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!

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…

Happy Anniversary! Time has flown. Thank you for everything you do to continually keep us inspired and up to date with all things Zentangle.
WOW! Congratulations Linda, your dedication is appreciated!
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.
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
Thank you for all you do!

No surprise after 15 years haha Thank you for all your time, energy and commitment to the Zentangle community, Linda! You are a true inspiration for me <3

Linda you changed my life when you were inspired to start this journey. So much joy, so much to look forward to (patterns galore), no more emptiness or not knowing what I’m supposed to be doing. Now I just tangle. So no more loneliness. No more winter blues. And it’s free. What a wonderful world we live in, that has you in it Linda. Thank you for giving so much all these yrs. It is very much appreciated. Much love and hugs from Nina, waving from Toronto.
