Zentangle HQ just released its Tangle of the Year: Huggins.

Huggins is a high-focus tangle, meaning it is a bit more challenging. It took me a while to get the gist of drawing it. Inevitably I would draw a line going the wrong way or some other mistake opposite, After practice I go the hang of it, and now it is a favourite. I still sometimes make a slight error slip, but when I do I either ignore it or hide it.

The Tangle of the Year is meant to represent intents for the coming year. I have been thinking about what this means. Perhaps it indicates a warn hug to those who need (and want) one, since a single Huggins element is called (semi-officially) a hug. Perhaps it is a reminder to embrace new practices or hobbies (or re-embrace neglected ones).

Whatever it means to you, I hope you will take time to do things that bring you joy.

With Gratitude and appreciation
