Harold, Nomi, Zander, Marasu, Alfie, and Icso reunite one last time this holiday season to admire the art and wonder of the 15th century. Their curiosity has led them through illuminated manuscripts, collections of Renaissance artifacts, and treasures from the natural world. But perhaps what delighted them most was the excuse to be together again, exploring these marvels side by side.
While you pull out your materials on the final day of PP28 and explore patterns on your tiles, the elves will look to their surroundings to learn more about the objects that sparked such creativity in this revered artist.
We can't be-leaf it is the last day of The 12 Days of Zentangle 2025! Thank you for joining us for all of the fun.

As we venture forward in the world, we, as a species, become more. More educated, more efficient, more talented, more complex, more innovative, and more aware. Yet, in order to propel us in this forward motion, we still look back at those who came before us. We still take inspiration and guidance from discoveries and ideas from centuries ago.
In this Project Pack, we will travel back in time and visit a golden era of art that was deeply influenced by the rapidly changing philosophy, literature, music, science, and technology of the time. Join us as we explore new materials and techniques that pay homage to a timeless beauty that continues to enamor and impress us so many years later.
First, join Maria as she and Rick guide you through the twelfth and final lesson in this series.
Then, join Rick and Maria for the PP28 wrap up video where they look back at all the fun we had over the last twelve days.
We have released the videos in this series every day since December 5th via our newsletter, our website, the Zentangle YouTube channel, and the Zentangle Mosaic App.
Please share your creations on the Zentangle Mosaic App using the hashtags:

My favorite thing about Project Pact 28 is the emphasis on light, how light is its own color in these tiles; and likewise, graphite! How graphite is a color all by itself. Thank you so much for all of these videos. This project pack has been a bright light this season.
