Zentangle inspired bug by Certified Zentangle Teacher Samantha Taylor
Sakura Color Products just released this fun, new video showing how you can create Zentangle-inspired art using their pens.
CZT Samantha Taylor of Marsh Harbor Studio in NC made this Sakura of America. It’s a stop motion video featuring colorful tangled beetles that she creates during her Zentangle workshops. In the video she tangles her tile and a beetle...

I have so many friends now through this wonderful world called Zentangle. One such friend who crossed my path is Kass Hall. Kass is an accomplished mixed-media artist from Down Under. Although we’ve never met face-to-face, we’ve known each other now for nearly two years. I was thrilled when I read she was coming to the United States to become a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT).

I am thrilled to be teaching again at the Energy, Light and Information Center in Springtown, Texas. On Saturday, July 14, from 10am to about 12:30pm, I will be holding a Zentangle Basics workshop.
What is Zentangle? I get asked all the time. In its purist form it is a focused meditation. Its premise is simple in that it is a relaxed focus aspect of meditation. Not to sound redundant, Zentangle is indeed “an easy to learn and...
I finally did it. I made the commitment to participate in this week’s challenge. After all, a new “official” tangle just came out, so what better time than now to give it a whirl. It’s actually two tangles in one: Chainging and Punzel. Chainging is the basis for Punzel, which in the words of Rick Roberts, is a tangleation of the former.
This is a fun tangle that requires a little more concentration. Totally...
There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice Zentangle.

No previous art training or artistic ability required!
For people who are convinced they can’t draw, Zentangle removes that barrier. Zentangle’s method also removes any intimidation of facing a blank sheet of paper. With Zentangle, a novice’s work can be put next to a “pro’s” work and fit right in.
Within its “elegance of limits” Zentangle draws from a rich well of our human...

Zentangle in Cala at Fort Worth Japanese Festival
I became a Certified Zentangle (CZT) Teacher in May 2010. My journey since then has been nothing less than amazing to me. I recently volunteered in a booth for the Texas Lettering Arts Council featuring Zentangle at one of the Great American Scrapbook Convention venues. I relayed my story to one of my co-volunteers. She seemed to hang on every word, then shared with me her observation:...

I honestly cannot remember what inspired me to create this tangle. I do know it was not an “itsy-bitsy teeny tiny polka-dot bikini.” However, as development progressed, low and behold, the name became clear and here I introduce Keenees—which has indeed provided that itsy-bitsy teeny tiny polka-dot bikini inspiration. It’s a fun and playful tangle. It can be used as a filler, a border, or wherever you choose. And, it...

A new word recently coined is Tangleation. Simply put, “tangleation (tan-gle-a-tion), noun. A noticeable variation of an existing tangle.; inspired variations that are noticeably different but fundamentally same in basic approach; structurally based on the original tangle.”
Great and what a wonderful segue to introduce my Kardz tangle. Kardz is based on Crescent Moon and came into being about a year ago. It is one of my...
