Zentangle Project Pack No. 25 and the 12 Days of Zentangle 2025 - Day 10

Zentangle Project Pack No. 25 and the 12 Days of Zentangle 2025 - Day 10

Harold, Nomi, Zander, Marasu, Alfie, and Icso are preparing to attend 12 tangle parties to celebrate the 2024 Twelve Days of Zentangle.


Each day the elves decide what to bring to these most festive affairs. Look closely in the picture each day to see if you can find all the items they brought. (They do seem to move things around!)

On this Tenth Day of Zentangle, Zander is bringing a party hat, a feather, a notepad, a pumpkin, a thimble, a watch, eye glasses, a bottle of ink, a bowl of soup and a nesting doll!

The party is starting to get full, can you find all these items?

And how about those hearts a'tangled?

Welcome to Zentangle Project Pack No. 25 and the tenth day of the 2024 Twelve Days of Zentangle!

In our practice of drawing with the Zentangle Method, we build compositions using patterns we call tangles. In the beginning, we learn basic tangles and then we progress by learning new techniques, more complex tangles, and variations to basic tangles.

In Project Pack No. 24, we paid homage to the technique of “Aura.” In this project pack , we take a deep dive into "drawing behind" which plays an integral role in how we teach many of our tangles. We guide you through a journey of depth and dimension. In this adventure we explore shadows and traverse our tangled compositions adding highlights. Join us on this multi-dimensional tangled adventure!

Tangle along with Maria as she and Rick guide you through the tenth lesson in this series.



Please share your creations on the Zentangle Mosaic App using the hashtags:
#PP25
#PP25Day10 and
#12DaysofZentangle2024.

In this series, we use the materials in Zentangle Project Pack No. 25. If you do not have these materials, we encourage you to follow along with whatever you have at home.

Leave us your thoughts in a comment below and each day, we will pick one commenter at random to receive a Zentangle surprise. We will announce all the winners on the last day!

  • Great. Mi2 is briliant, but with organic patterns even better . 🥰

  • An awesome technique and what an organic delicate tangling session !

  • Icso is wearing the party hat & holding the eye glasses & the thimble is is just by his right hand in one of the spouts of that ceramic piece of pottery, that same piece of pottery has the feather in the biggest spout. The pumpkin is beside Alfie’s right elbow & he’s holding the watch in his right hand as well. the notepad is to the left of the bowl of soup (as you look at the picture) & the bowl of soup is between Harold & Alfie just in front of the ‘10’ tile. The bottle of ink is in the ornate box (which looks like it could be the top of a boot) behind the flute in front of the white lamb next to Nomi. But that nesting doll has me stumped as I cannot see it at all.

  • I just love seeing these busy elves preparing for a Zentangle party.

  • I just love how Marie just stole Rick’s tile and started tangling her own tangles! I guess my husband was not wrong for tangling on my tile after all!

  • I was so frustrated that the pictures were so small in the email version. Just opened the blog and saw the larger picture. Going back to Day 1 and finding each day’s items! Also, not looking forward to Day 12 as it will be the last in this Project Pack. I do enjoy these!

  • I’ve been introduced to that shading technique by Lynn Mead. When she taught it, she called it: Bi-directional Shading.

    Nova Scheidt on

  • so lovely, how the Chinese lanterns grow out of the Mi2 beginning. I like them, Lampionblumen in German, even when they lose their bright orange colour and get this pale subtle hues. This special shading you used fits so well to them

    Ingrid on

  • This is such a clever combination of geometric and organic tangling! I love it!

    Suchitra Komandur on

  • So many beautiful things. I wonder what they will bring next.

    Marty Greiner on

  • Great combination of tangles.

    Claudia on

  • Mmmmh “bishading” could be a proposal for the technique name 😜
    Beautifull organic tile ✍🏼🖤🤍

    Meritxell on

  • So lovely and elegant ❤️❣️

    Anita D on

  • Another great collaboration!

    Andrea K on

  • Oh those tricky elves! I’m still searching for the nesting dolls. Guess I’ll go tangle wit z Rick and then have another look.

    Charlene Smith on

  • Hmmm I can find everything except the nesting doll. I’ll keep looking…

    Kathy Young on

  • Loving this project pack because it is so undemanding, I can actually finish the tiles each day. The new shading technique is simple and elegant, with an almost trompe l’oeil effect. I’m calling it Jestering.

    Ann Baum, CZT36 on

  • When CZT Lynn Mead introduced this shading technique, she called it Convergent shading.

    AndreaR on

  • Zander has good instincts—who can resist a bottle of ink?

    Becky Ruiz Jenab on

  • I like “strillusion” as a name for that shading technique, since it gives an illusion of being striped.

    Heidi Thorsen on

  • Your Japanese Lantern tangle is exquisite. I pick some every year and dry them putting them in floral arrangements in honor of my mother who loved them. Thank you for all your “gourdgeous” tangles and Project Packs. May you all have a fabulous Christmas.🎅🤶From; Cheryl K. Jensen – Canada.

  • This is so cool! The Chinese lantern plant or Physalis used to grow in my mothers gereden. I loved it as a kid and I still do.

    Doris Bisschop on

  • I look forward to these daily project pack videos! Thank you.
