Tangle Refresher 79

I’m sure excitement is running high in the Zentangle® world with CZT XIV (14!) commencing on Sunday, which we also observe as Father’s Day.

Approximately 100 enthusiastic tanglers from all around the globe will gather in Providence RI this weekend, eager to learn the basics and the many subtleties of the Zentangle Method from its founders. A second class, CZT XV, will run starting the following weekend. Within a couple of weeks we’ll have over 200 new Certified Zentangle Teachers in our midst to help spread the joy of Zentangle and we congratulate them all.

And although my late wonderful, gem of a Dad always used to say “Every day is Father’s Day”, I’ll take this opportunity to wish all the great fathers out there a wonderful special day. Enjoy a beautiful weekend.

The Tangle Refresher series, aka Buried Treasure, spotlights hidden tangle gems from the past. It can remind you of patterns you might not have used for a while or introduce you to patterns you haven’t come across yet.

Here are five more tangle pattern gems and a Tangle Refresher from a year (or two) ago for your tangling pleasure. Remember to check out the “More Good Stuff” links below too. Zenful tangling!

BTW as you visit these tangles please Tweet or “like” them on Facebook so they get shared with a wider audience. Sharing links are on the left side of each pattern’s page. Thanks!
