New Tangle: noom (repus)
This is a great border tangle that Maria came up with.
It's all about the "S" and "curve" elemental strokes.
We released this tangle at our recent zenAgain CZT reunion. After we shared this tangle, we asked each person to suggest a name for this tangle on a piece of paper but not to write their name. This was also the day of the Super Moon. The winning name was written as "noom repus" ("super moon" backwards) which we shortened to "noom" and declared it the winner.
Later we discovered it was our son, Noah, that won. it was quite a scene . . . particularly with Maria, Molly, Martha and Rick!
Congratulations, Noah!
Here is a mosaic segment of noom repus tangled on Zentangle 3Z tiles.
You can find many more examples of this tangle under the hashtags #noom or #noomrepus on our Zentangle Mosaic app.
We look forward to seeing what you create with this fun new tangle!

We will offer two different Zentangle programs:

We are so fortunate to be among an acclaimed cast of teachers and to present the Zentangle Method on their brand new campus.

Kitchen Table Tangles with Indy and Mazzy
Read the story behind this video that Molly's girls put together after watching Rick and Maria (or, "Meme and Ricky") do their Kitchen Table Tangle videos. Absolutely delightful!
What's extra cool is that the tangle they created,
zingo, is now showing up all over the Zentangle Mosaic app under the hashtag, #zingo and Laura Harms, CZT used
zingo in her "I am the Diva"
Weekly Challenge #307!

Revisiting a Basic Comfort
"Hi guys, Am I a dweeb for wanting to stick with basic tangles? I love the simple, basic designs. The advanced stuff is nice, but I like where I'm at. I feel kinda bad with all the fancy designs on the net and my basic designs aren't anything to write home about, but I like them. It's impossible to make it into the Who's Who of Zentangle unless my Tangles are over the top. This is discouraging at times."

What's Your Idea?
In
this blog post, Rick initiates a conversation about what's behind the many positive impacts of practicing the Zentangle Method.
Rick would love to read your thoughts on this topic!

Oh yes, one more thing!
A tangler writes:
Hi Rick and Maria!
How I enjoyed your video tutorial on making
diva dance flow "through"
paradox! I followed you almost exactly, but when Laura [Harms] made
a challenge with these two in it , I was delighted, because it meant playing around even more.
Anyway, I posted it on
my blog and someone in my comments suggested sending you a copy of my entry in the challenge. It was sure a lot of fun doing this, and if I do say so myself, it's VERY cool looking. Thanks for coming up with this. You are so inspirational!
blessings, HeidiSue

As always, there's so much more to share, but we'll leave it there for now.
We look forward to reading your comments on our blog posts, to seeing your Zentangle art on the app, and perhaps, to meet you at one of our seminars or workshops.
Until our next newsletter, thank you so much for being part of this amazing Zentangle adventure!
With all our Best Wishes,
Rick, Maria, Martha, Molly, and all of us at Zentangle
