The 12 Days of AusTangles 2025

This is the first time I heard of AusTangles, drawing tangles that have been deconstracted/authored by Australians, and this year it ran under the motto 12 Days of .AusTangles from April 19 - 30, 2025. I found this challenge through an interesting website called ArtsAmuse that has 'a list of Zentangle challenges, creative prompts and other interesting or fun challenges to help you with your creative practice'.

My New Tangle Cre-A-Top...and maybe a Fragment?

Time to Kill

May's brainteasers, honestly, is either rather demanding or my brain turned to mush. I got 3 out of 6 (4 easy, 2 and 6 after some tries), but should have known 1 and 3 as well - especially three because of the news. 5? Hmm, no, I was never even close with my guesses. Solutions are added to the bottom of the page in tiny font so you, too, can figure out those clues before accidental reading them. 

Animal Happy Day

It is heartwarming when shy, neglected dogs come out of their shells and show they found love and care. This is the story of Shadow...

This is it for the month of May 2025. CO agrees, all is done and a nap is in order. Coal is still around, too. Mostly curling up on my drawings demanding to be stroked.

Thank you very much for visiting my post.
Greetings from Thailand

Solutions to above May's brainteasers:

1 – Raincheck

2 – I’m bigger than you

3 – Illegal (ill eagle)

4 – Double agent

5 – Rock n roll

6 – Good afternoon
