New Tangle: dewd

Yes we have a new tangle! We introduce it in one of our Project Pack #01 videos.

We want to give CZTs a few days to play with it prior to the videos going live.

We kindly ask that you refrain from posting any of your tiles with dewd until Saturday when we release the videos.

Thank you!

Project Pack #02 - The 12 Days of Zentangle

Yes, so soon we know, but the timing is just perfect for this next one.

It's that time of year again for our end of year 12 Days of Zentangle. And it's a perfect opportunity for a Project Pack.

Project Pack #02 is NOT available for purchase yet, but we wanted to give you all a heads up for some of the details and a rough timeline so you can plan around it.

----+-----

Project Pack #2 includes all the tangling supplies to tangle along with us for our 2017 12 days of Zentangle series.

The 12 days of Zentangle has become our annual tangling tradition that playfully uses the Twelve Days of Christmas format to lead us through 12 consecutive days of tangling together.

Each year has had a different theme. Check out some of our past years here:

This year's theme will be a metaphorical stroll down memory lane. Each day in the series we will visit moments in Zentangle history as we reminisce about the tiles, the tangles, and the techniques of the past while creating things completely new. Each lesson will explore different tiles and tools and guide you through the creation of your own tangled masterpieces.

Although this series has a festive Holiday flair, it is non-denominational and the lessons are pure Zentangle. We welcome you to join us regardless of your traditions. It is too much fun to tangle along with this beautiful Zentangle community.

Because of the "12 Days" format of this series, we will create 12 videos. Each day a new video will be posted for the full 12 days. The videos will remain available for an extended period on YouTube to be watched again and again at your convenience.

* Please note that Project Packs are a convenient way to get the supplies used in the lessons. They are not required to tangle along on these videos. Supplies you already own can be used. The supplies used in each video will be noted at the start of each video lesson.

Retail: $32.95

CZT (6-Pack): $155.70

Project Pack #02 will become available for purchase in mid November. We will notify you via newsletter as soon as it is available.

FAQ for New Website

Thank you so much for your patience as we transition to the new zentangle.com and zentangle.events websites.

As we add to our list of FAQs from CZTs, we post them on the CZT RESOURCES section of zentangle.com. Please take a look in case you are having the same question!

If we have not answered your question here, please email [email protected].

Here are few of the most frequently asked FAQs:

This is also the site that hosts the CZT Directory and CZT forum. The new zentangle.com will remain the site where you shop for Zentangle products, access CZT resources (lesson plans, downloads, logos, etc) and where people can learn about the Zentangle method.

Each website has its own separate login and are they are not synced. You may find it helpful to use the same email/password on each site. Please remember that if you update one, it will not update the other one.

-----+-----

Q: How do I buy bulk products?

A: For many items which CZTs can purchase in bulk (example: micron pens, branded bags), the bulk options are available as a "size" option on the product.

For example, there is only one product page for a Black Pigma Micron 01 pen. As a CZT, you can select "Single" or "Box of 12" from the drop down menu.

Note: Bulk tiles are available as their own product and not a size variant.
