The brand new 2024 Edition of the “TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE” is available now!

Hello again my tangling friends!

As many of you know, each year around the second week in January the newly updated TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE is published, integrating all the new tangles from the previous year and adding a new feature or two. The updated edition contains all the tangles on the site since its debut in May 2010 through December 2023, now numbering about 2,000 tangles!

I’m delighted to announce the new updated TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE, 2024 Edition eBook is now available for instant download from the STORE > EBOOKS page.

Purchasing your copy of the GUIDE is a huge win-win  — you get an awesome reference and time-saving tool for using TanglePatterns.com while helping me keep the site going. Win-win!

As I’ve noted in the past, creating the TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE is a labor of love for me and it’s such fun reviewing all the great new tangles added in the last year as well as time-traveling through all the wonderful “oldies”. They hold a lot of Zentangle® history.

The GUIDE is an eBook, an electronic file you download instantly to your computer at the time of purchase. Hard copies are not available (although you can print your own), nothing will be physically mailed to you.

I hope you enjoy using this indispensable resource (“a wonderful reference guide“) and will encourage your tangling friends to get their own copy. A shout out on social media would be most appreciated 🙂

The BOOK REVIEWS page has more details and a sample page if you want to learn more about the TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE’s contents.

Continuing her TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE tradition CZT Michele Beauchamp has tangled her marvelous Zentangle®-inspired art for the cover. In her ZIAs Michele features many of the tangles that appeared on the site during 2023. She explains, “My inspiration for this year’s covers has come from Project Pack 21, ‘Tangles of a Botanical Nature’. I also really enjoyed adding that touch of background color with watercolor pencils.” This Edition contains two more pages of Michele’s distinctive and exquisite Zentangle artistry you get to enjoy up close and personal. They’re the icing on the cake!!

This year’s TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE has grown to a 109-page PDF resource with the tangle images hot-linked to their post on this site. See a tangle you want to learn (or refresh), simply click or tap the image and you’re instantly transported to the instructions.

Awesome extra features!

Several extra features and articles make the TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE an indispensable aid to using the site. It’s not only fantastic having a printed version to refer to, but where the Guide really shines is as an interactive digital aid.

I’ve moved the “Guide Contents” directory to it’s own page and enlarged it (!) in this Edition. It has “Quick Links” so you can jump to any section of the Guide. In addition, on page 11 where “The Tangles” begin there’s a “Quick Links” feature so you can jump immediately to any letter of the alphabet when you’re looking for a particular tangle.

For your convenience the GUIDE includes a page with links to my detailed summaries of all of the Zentangle Project Packs to date.

As always this edition contains a reprint of CZT Sandy Hunter‘s excellent article, A post with no pictures. Sandy has graciously given me permission to include her article “in perpetuity” 🙂

Also updated is the “Zentangle Terminology” section with new terms (eg. ghost tangles) added during the last year. When you see an unfamiliar term, or want to refresh your memory, you’ll have this handy reference at your offline fingertips.

To get your copy of the new TanglePatterns.com TANGLE GUIDE click the cover image above or go to the top menu bar on any page on the site and select the STORE > EBOOKS page.

To avoid file corruption, SAVE the document to your device before you attempt to open it. Once it has downloaded completely to your device you can then open the document from your device and print it.

If your browser fails to redirect you to your download page, your secure download link is also sent automatically to the email address you used in PayPal. If you use the email address of a “significant other”, remember to let them know you are expecting a confirming email with your download link so they don’t delete your email by mistake.

A word about the alphabetic sorting of the tangles for those who are bound to ask. In earlier editions to simplify the sorting task I used Microsoft Word and its criteria for alphabetical sorting – and it is undeniably quirky. Now I organize the list to correspond (mostly) with the sequence the tangles are displayed on the site, which also has its own software quirks.

Spread the word!

Please spread the word on social media, in a post and/or add a “badge” for the new TanglePatterns TANGLE GUIDE on your blog – see the bottom of the RIGHT sidebar for the easy copy-and-paste code.

Encouraging your tangling friends to support the site by getting their copy of the latest edition is so greatly appreciated.

Keep your file in a safe place

Keep a backup copy in a safe place such as a memory stick. Due to the frequency of requests to replace lost files and the personal time involved in handling these requests, lost files are not replaced free.

Paraphrasing the late Canadian artist Robert Genn, I’d love to do it, but I’d need an extra week tacked onto every day. Replacements for lost files can be ordered and downloaded from the STORE > EBOOKS page.

And as always, your feedback, comments and suggestions are always most welcome.

Thanks for supporting the site with your purchase!

ENJOY, Cheers and happy tangling!
