A fun “project” from Zentangle HQ, Zentangle Project Packs are a curated collection of supplies that pair up with an online video tutorial, or series of tutorials, all on the same theme.
The Project Packs are numbered and made available for purchase prior to the release of each video in the series.
“Enjoy the Zentangle tools and tiles as you tangle along with Rick, Maria and others from Zentangle HQ.”
With thanks to tangler Barbara L. for suggesting this page addition 🙂

- "A Zentangle has no up or down and is not a picture of something, so you have no worries about whether you can draw a hand, or a duck. You always succeed in creating a Zentangle." Patterns that are drawings of a recognizable naturalistic or actual object, figure, or scene, are not tangles. A pattern is not always a tangle — here's what makes a tangle. TIP: tangles never start with pencil planning.

Linda,
Do hope you are well and staying warm. We could wake up to snow tomorrow morning. (Just outside of Yosemite National Park)
The reason I’m writing is that, when I ordered PP23, I thought I was ordering the Journaling one, but I wasn’t. Seems there are 2 PP23’s. I received the other one “Celebrating 20 years of the Zentangle Method” I would like to keep this one. But, I really would like the other PP23 as well. Are there any Project Packs still available for the Journaling PP23? If so, I would really like to purchase one. Thanks so much.
And, thank you very much for all you do for us.
Hi Deborah, it’s true that the word Project here can be confusing because it’s being used in two different ways.
The “Journaling” one is a year-long project where Zentangle adds journaling prompts and other posts for us to follow along. It’s not an actual Project Pack. There is a special bundle of supplies which can be purchased although it isn’t necessary to follow along.
Project Pack #23, however, began March 15th and is part of the overall year-long celebration, and also related to the March Journaling prompt of the Birth of Zentangle.
The Project Pack is included in the year-long “Journaling” project’s page on TanglePatterns which you can find here on the top menu bar: ZENTANGLES > ZENTANGLE’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY JOURNAL PROJECT – A CHRONOLOGY. I suggest bookmarking and checking in to that page frequently to see the updates throughout the year. (April’s prompt hasn’t been announced yet but I would expect it soon.)
My Project Pack #23 Summary link is included in the March section of the Chronology, and the Summary has also just been posted here.
Hope that answers your questions, but if I can clarify further … you know where to find me 🙂
Cheers!
