Today is the International Day of Zentangle for 2025.
To celebrate, there was a live lesson on YouTube this morning. You can watch a replay of the live stream here .
In the video, you will learn a lot about the tangle Huggins, which was chosen as the tangle of the year for 2025! It is one of my favorite tangles, and Maria’s explanation of why she chose it just makes it that much more appropriate for this particular lesson.
Above, you can see what I created. I did follow the lesson to the best of my ability. However, there is so much that can be done with this tangle from changing the coloring, to changing the entire arrangement of each “hugg”!
If you haven’t tried tangling yet, for what ever reason, grab a pen or whatever you have at hand and a piece of paper and give it a try… I am betting you will be surprised at what you can accomplish.
