Bijou Be Well 2026

Every year, to support Mental Health Awareness Month, we release our Bijou Be Well series. This is a 21-day challenge to find time for yourself within your busy schedule.

In our 2026 series, along with the reminder to tangle each day, we will be offering various studies and articles about creativity and its benefits to mental well-being.

How to participate: 

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

This year, we will be working on a Zentangle Opus tile to create one cohesive work of Zentangle art. We have carefully curated this years Bijou Be Well Bundles to include everything you need for this journey. If you do not have a Zentangle Opus tile, we encourage you to follow along with what you have at home, but purchasing supplies directly supports the production of the Bijou Be Well Series. 

The materials are no longer available bundled together but they are listed below and are available for purchase as unique items:

White and Tan Bijou Bundle: included 1 White 10.5" Opus tile and one Renaissance 10.5" Opus tile, three Bijouisms, a black Pigma Micron® 10, a black Pigma Micron® 05, a mini graphite and mini charcoal pencil, and two tortillons.

Black Bijou Bundle:  included 2 Black 10.5" Opus tiles, three assorted Bijouisms, a white Gelly Roll 10, a white Gelly Roll 08 pen, a mini graphite and mini charcoal pencil, and two tortillons.

Translucen-Z Bijou Bundle: included 2 Translucen-Z 10.5" Opus tiles, three Bijouisms, a black Microperm 05, a white Gelly Roll 10, 1 pastel pencil (assorted colors), 1 mini graphite pencil and two tortillons.

Step 2: Mark Your Calendars

Beginning Monday, May 11th through the 31st, we will send a daily newsletter with a tangling prompt, paired with studies, articles and stories exploring the benefits of creativity. We invite you to set aside 10–15 minutes each day to tangle and enjoy a moment just for yourself. 

Step 3: Tangle with Us!

This year, we encourage you to step away from your screen, ground yourself in your space, and create without expectation. We will launch the series with an introductory video to get you organized and informed on the process. Each day thereafter, we will share simple instructions and a step-out of a tangle to guide you in filling your Opus tile. For those who want a little extra support, we’ll also share videos from past Bijou Be Well series (we are in a Time Machine this year, after all!). We will conclude the series with a wrap-up video that ties it all together.
