If you have a hard time choosing tangle patterns for your Zentangle® project, let the universe decide. Eni Oken's Art Raffle is based on her successful "Bijou Raffle" lesson: pull out random cards with tangle patterns and art enhancers to inspire you to create Zentangle® like you never have done before. In this beautifully elegant digital version, you can select up to 8 different cards, randomly selected from a collection curated and prepared by Eni herself. You can save different raffle selections and even search to easily find your favorite cards. LEARN SO MUCH MORE WITH EACH CARD But that's just the beginning, this digital version does so much more than the traditional game. The BACK OF EACH CARD contains a wealth of information about the tangle or art enhancer: step-outs, descriptions, links to samples and lessons. The game is so soothing and addictive you'll find yourself perusing the cards randomly just to learn more about each card! ELEGANT GESTURAL COMMANDS The game is made to behave as closely to the real raffle game as possible. Gestures such as flicking, tapping and zooming in make this game super fun to play. You can even move the cards around! SAVE RAFFLE GAMES You can save raffle games for later and create as many raffles as you like. Rename and edit the raffle games, discard cards or add different ones. MORE CARDS COMING This introductory version comes with a starter pack of tangle patterns, art enhancer prompts and strings. This is just the beginning, more cards are coming soon! YES, IT'S ENTIRELY FREE The Zentangle world has quite literally saved Eni's life after battling stage 4 cancer. Today she is a CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) and teaches hundreds of students through video lessons and live online classes via her Art Club. This app, which took many months to develop, is Eni's profound and sincere THANK YOU gift to this loving and nurturing artistic community! Wishing you a happy Art Raffle!

The ‘raffle’ aspect means you can generate random combinations and then have fun using them to create a tile. I have some of Eni Oken’s courses and ebooks too - love her stuff. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-09-04, version 1.41* I saw someone mention this app on some social media. I decided to look because I am new to Zt and like to try all the ‘things’ but deciding which ones is difficult. This app removes all the thinking.! I love it! It IS FREE! Loving the selection of ones I know and the variety of new (to me)!! ### 1/5 — It doesn't work *2025-04-26, version 1.41* Unfortunately, on my Iphone with the latest update, all I get is a black screen. ### 5/5 — Disappearing tiles *2025-04-15, version 1.41* I love this app. Perfect for when I draw on the go with my sketchbook and I don’t have a tangle reference book on hand for ideas. The ONLY problem is tangle tiles have gone missing !!!! pinwheel string, mooka 3d, flukes, Rixty 3d … these were some of the tangles that I was using for a class so I’m wandering what happened ???? Other than that I love that each tile in this app has a breakout step for the tangles 💜 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-03-28, version 1.41* What a gift! I needed to watch a video to realise you need to swipe to look at the back of the card for the tangle instructions, but once I did that I couldn’t believe what a perfect this app is. Thank you. ### 5/5 — If you love Zentangle, You will ❤️ this app! *2024-09-05, version 1.41* Eni Oken is a brilliant Certified Zentangle Teacher©️ This app is so fun to go through. Create endless combinations of tangles! You can have the raffle randomly select, tangles, enhancers and strings, or go through a guided practice. It’s flexible and fun! In addition, you flip the card, if you like the tangle, keep it or switch it for a new one. In addition, flip the card and there is the step out and links to even further discoveries! Quanteed, you will love this app! It is easy to use and a wonderful resource for any level of learning to create beautiful tangles! Thank you Eni! This is a winner! Lorie Fossa, Certified Zentangle Teacher©️ ### 5/5 — AMAZING DRAWING APP! *2023-12-23, version 1.37* If you love to create art and draw, you'll definitely want to have this app. This app helps me every time I use it. It's easy to use, graphics are clear, examples are wonderful, and all around 5 star help with learning how to draw some tangles. I also love how I can group the tangles, strings, and techniques so I can focus on a group of similar drawings at the same time. Thank you Alan and Eni for such an awesome app! ### 5/5 — Art raffle *2023-10-09, version 1.37* This is an extraordinarily generous app. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Best ZenTangle tool! *2023-08-15, version 1.37* This app is incredible, I like to use it as prompts to draw tangles but I also find that if I’m looking for a type of tangle say floral, ribbon or leaf, I can type it in the search and there are so many choices. I love when I find a new to me tangle that the step out is on the flip side. Great app and it’s free which is even better. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Easy and fun to use *2023-07-19, version 1.36* This is a great app to help you come up with ideas for making beautiful tangles. You can combine strings, tangles, fillers, etc. There are instructions for each, it’s easy to swap out an option, and you can save the whole set of you’d like. It’s a great tool for providing inspiration or breaking you out of a rut where you use the same tangles over and over. Updates are made as needed too. Great app. ## Frequently asked questions about Art Raffle ### What does this app do?
