What do You Call a Group of Tangles?

What do You Call a Group of Tangles?

Maria writes…
 
Dear Tanglers,
 
Did you know that there are specific and different names for groups of creatures? Really! And really interesting names – some unexpected, some funny, some apropos, and some, most certainly are not.
 
A swarm of bees.
A pride of lions.
An unkindness of ravens.
A pack of wolves.
A murder of crows.
 
I was thinking about this the other day and I realized that we do not have a specific name for a group of tangles . . . or for that matter, for a group of tanglers! How could that possibly be right? How did we survive this long (17 years!)?
 
Well, I think it is certainly time to remedy this situation. Of course, we decided that you, our beloved Zentangle community, should be the ones to do this.
 
So . . . your mission is to come up with names for
 
A GROUP OF TANGLES
 
And
 
A GROUP OF TANGLERS
 
And, perhaps the story about how you came up with the names; and the wonderful staff here at ZTHQ will choose a name!
 
We will have most excellent prizes for this, possible including a copy of the artwork shown above! So, don’t hold back! We will announce the winners in next week’s blog
 
So, put on your thinking caps and give it a think!

We can’t wait to hear what you came up with.

Maria Thomas
