12 Days of 3Zs
This Friday, December 11th, we will resume our annual tradition: The 12 Days of Zentangle. This time of celebration is a great opportunity to share tangles, techniques and festive ideas with tanglers across this world. As we have done in recent years, we combine the 12 Days of Zentangle with a...
Project Pack .04 -- 12 Days of Zentangle - Day 12
Welcome to Day 12 of the 12 Days of Zentangle! Enjoy. Once Alfie saw Maria's knightsbridge from yesterday’s tangling, he knew his friends in Louise Saunders' and Maxfield Parrish's Knave of Hearts book would appreciate it. On this twelfth day of Zentangle, Molly and Martha were amazed by the tipple...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 12
Alfie writes: Today's tile was designed and tangled for you by Maria, with today's video commentary from both Maria and Rick. They seem to work well together, like the tangles she chose. These tangles are some of her absolute favorites for many reasons. Mooka has flowy spirited lines that can grow in almost any...
Project Pack No. 07 - 12 Days of Zentangle: Day 12
Welcome to the twelfth day of Project Pack No. 07. Today, Maria completes our Twelve Days of Zentangle on a gray Zendala tile. Alfie wants you to see the frame with all our tiles behind our Christmas tree. Last night he belayed a tangled garland. Then he rappelled down it...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 4
Hi, Alfie here! Welcome to day four of The Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2020. Julie joins us today to guide us in tangling a 3Z tile (or 2 or 3!). Her "joie de vivre" is obvious as she navigates around sandswirl, a tangle designed by Karry Heum. Julie has always loved tangles with...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 3
Hi, it's Alfie here again! Welcome to day three of The Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2020. Whenever I want to play with Bijou, I first check the big conch shell that Bijou fancies to be his fractal apartment. "Come out of your shell, Bijou," I will call to Bijou when...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 5
Hi, Alfie here! Welcome to day five of The Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2020. In today's video, Maria tangles a newish version of a tangle that Molly deconstructed for us some years ago. It's called fife. She called it this because it reminded her of the "flower of life." If you are not...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 06
Maria writes: HEART: The center of emotion; the home of spirit, courage, and enthusiasm. No wonder we clutch our heart when these feelings are set free. In our Zentangle world, I find that we all love hearts because I see them often in your Zentangle art. In this collection of tiles...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 11
Alfie writes: Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Ah . . . Breathing. A simple but necessary function for me, all of you, and Bijou, too (a land snail). It might just be the most important exercise any of us need to do, and yet how often do we concentrate on just that? Deep nourishing breaths,...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 8
Maria writes: I am pretty sure you envision us all here at Zentangle Central, like little elves, getting all these videos done in plenty of time and basking in the luxury of completing a major project. When in reality, we are running around, willy nilly, filming, creating audio, and writing stories and doing...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 16 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2021 - Day 12
Alas, it’s the dreaded day twelve, the end of The Twelve Days of Zentangle. Maybe we should see it as the fantabulous day twelve. The elves have calmed down after all this excitement and are ready to just relax and enjoy all this day has to offer. What fun it...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 7
Alfie writes... Today's tile is by Rick, no surprise here! He has his favorite tangles, his "mac'n'cheese tangles," (although I cannot remember the last time I actually witnessed him eat mac'n'cheese), but I digress. . . As I reflect on the number of times he uses these two tangles, I realize why we call them...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 9
Bijou writes: Molly and Martha will be your guides today on a journey of familiarity and comfort. The tangles they have chosen for this tile are easy, yet delightful. Simple string, no fear. The composition leaves us with many alternate directions to take, if one so chooses. A lot of room for miss-steps, changes of...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 22 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2023 - Day 12
The following text was translated by Rick from the tap tap tapping "voice" of Bijou. Bijou writes: And so, all good things must come to an end.... but the memories live on and on in our hearts and on our tiles! Before we wrap up this series, we join Rick...

Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 2
Hey there, Alfie here! Today is day two of The Twelve Days of Zentangle, 2020. I was just having a conversation with my old pal Bijou, which doesn’t happen as often as I would like. Just like Maria, I tend to do things “lickety split” which is a saying around...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 28 and The 12 Days of Zentangle 2025 - Day 12
Harold, Nomi, Zander, Marasu, Alfie, and Icso reunite one last time this holiday season to admire the art and wonder of the 15th century.

Hello!!!!! Let me introduce myself. My name is Alfie, and I have been asked (once again) by the folks at Zentangle to help out with their annual “12 Days of Zentangle.” It is (and has been my job in the past) to introduce each day’s video in some fantastically fanciful fashion to...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 12 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2020 - Day 10
Alfie writes: I became an artist after hearing Rick and Maria rattle on and on about this new thing they called the Zentangle Method. They had been rather obsessed with this project . . . more like a mission or calling than a job. It was with unrelenting passion that they began...

Welcome to Day 10 of the 12 Days of Zentangle! Enjoy! Alfie found Maria's beaded tape measure and decided to take the measure of Rick's tangles from yesterday, "That's nuts," says Santa. On this tenth day of Zentangle, Molly proudly parades with the jonqal, munchin and centipede, but runs back...
Project Pack .04 -- 12 Days of Zentangle - Day 9
Welcome to Day 9 of the 12 Days of Zentangle! Enjoy! After Alfie watched Julie's tangling yesterday, he grabbed some shells which reminded him of crescent moon and marasu. Naturally, Bijou had to come by for this conversation. On this ninth day of Zentangle, Rick reaches for arukas while humming...
Project Pack .04 -- 12 Days of Zentangle - Day 7
Welcome to Day 7 of the 12 Days of Zentangle! Enjoy! Alfie was so inspired by what Martha and Molly created yesterday that he found an old chipped plate, tangled the chip, and pasted one of Maria's tiles on it. He is quite pleased with his efforts. On this seventh...

Welcome to Day 3 of the 12 Days of Zentangle! Enjoy! One of Alfie's favorite Zentangle steps is shading the shading with a tortillion. He is particularly thrilled with his new tortillion which he discovered in the laundry room. Someone left a tortillion in their pocket and it went through...

Welcome to the third day of Project Pack No. 07. Word is out around our home that Molly and Martha are tangling on a gray Zendala tile today. So the Santas took this opportunity to show off their acrobatic skills with those Zendala tiles. Angel (who recently arrived from Germany)...
Project Pack No. 07 - 12 Days of Zentangle: Day 04
Welcome to the fourth day of Project Pack No. 07. On this fourth day, Julie tangles on four black Bijou Zentangle tiles. Woolen Gnome, Rabbit and Sheep "felt" they should get in on the act. At first we thought that Rabbit and Sheep couldn't read, but perhaps they are reminding...

Alfie and friends loved learning how to draw auraknot today. Auraknot is truly tangled, they laughed. It can seem challenging to draw at first and it is ok to acknowledge that sometimes you need a little extra support when you learn something new. Take your time with the initial part...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 16 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2021 - Day 06
We got into an interesting conversation about creativity with our friends, Alfie, Nomi, and Marasu. We asked them what they loved most about creativity, they all agreed that it empowers them.

Zentangle Project Pack No. 16 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2021 - Day 01
Isn’t it ironic we playfully titled this Project Pack Series, “Keeping Score”, when in fact, in true Zentangle philosophy, it is quite the contrary? It is a beautiful thing that as we practice the Zentangle Method, we let go of the need to compete or keep score. We become stronger, and...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 16 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2021 - Day 04
The Zentangle Method is great to practice alone, but sometimes it is also fun to tangle with friends. Alfie and friends thought it was fun to see how sisters Molly and Martha both contribute to the tile in today’s lesson. Each tangler has something unique to offer and it is...

The elves got together today to discuss the process, to beautify. It seems that to them, it would be first and foremost on their minds the second they pick up their pen/pencil. Of course, Nomi chimed in and said “there are many other considerations such as: to make it interesting,...
Zentangle Project Pack No. 16 - The 12 Days of Zentangle 2021 - Day 03
We always say that the Zentangle Method attracts the most wonderful people. Or is it that wonderful people are attracted to the Zentangle Method.
